Planning a trip to Dubai
Dubai is a city that opens up the widest opportunities for tourists. Excellent beaches, luxury hotels, great shopping, a large selection of restaurants, lots of sun and interesting locations. Everything here is designed for an unforgettable vacation. In this article, we will figure out how to properly plan your vacation in a city in the middle of the desert.
Airplane tickets
Prices for flights to the UAE may vary depending on the season. In Dubai, payment is made in dirhams: 10 AED ~ 3 USD.
In the high season, prices can surprise you and this is not in a good way.
In the low season, accordingly, prices will be much lower.
Car rental
Renting a car in Dubai is optional, but desirable.
Despite the fact that public transport in Dubai is well developed, and the buses have air conditioning, traveling by public transport will take you a lot of time.
There are many taxis in the city, but due to the influx of tourists, which are enough in any month of the year, you can wait for your car for a long time.
Based on the above, renting a car is the best solution. To feel even closer to the luxury of Dubai living, we recommend rent a bentley in dubai. In addition to saving time, renting a car will save you money, because a taxi for long distances will cost you a lot of money and by trains you can go to the neighboring city, and renting a car, be it a sports car or SUV, for a few days, will help you save your money.
Renting a car will also help you cover long distances in Dubai (it can be at least one kilometer from one pedestrian crossing to another).
Book your accommodation
You can book accommodation on sites such as AirBNB and Booking. Book your accommodation in advance, because accommodation will cost you less.
We recommend Glamping “Sonara Camp” – you will live in the middle of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. Another unusual place can be the “Sedr Trailers Resort”, a camping park located in the mountainous enclave of Hatta. The third place we have chosen for you is a boutique hotel “25hours Hotel One Central”, which has recently opened.
Make a travel plan
To avoid unnecessary expenses, we advise you to select all the attractions that you want to see. Make a route plan so that you can see as many interesting places as possible in one day.
Places we recommend:
- Palm Islands – it is worth at least once to walk along them to appreciate the scale;
- Burj Khalifa and singing fountains – two attractions located nearby, a building with 163 floors from the observation deck and fountains – water, music and light show;
- Dubai Mall is a huge shopping center, where is located, striking in its scale, an aquarium;
- Al Ain Flower Park – even if you don’t really like parks, this place is definitely worth visiting;
Book in advance
There is no longer going about a lower price. Due to the large influx of tourists, you will either have to stand in line, or you will not get to the scheduled place at all.
Many attractions have their own websites where you can buy tickets in advance.
The same applies to restaurants, in some restaurants with Michelin stars you have to pay for a seat reservation. This amount will be removed from your bill. In conventional restaurants, you simply enter the desired time, date, and number of people to attend.
Plan where you want to eat
In order not to waste time checking restaurant ratings on Google or TripAdvisor, we strongly recommend you to find out about the desired places in advance.
Our recommendations:
- The Maine Oyster Bar & Grill – if you’re looking for something exotic;
- Al Dawaar Revolving Restaurant – a revolving restaurant on the 25th floor of the Hyatt Regency Dubai;
- Amaseena – an open-air restaurant with a great view of the city;
- Al Hadheerah – if you want beautifully served Arabic food;
- Tresind – a restaurant where world-class chef Himanshu Saini prepares food for you.
Dubai is not only a place for shopping, sightseeing and entertainment, it also has excellent conditions for a beach holiday. Jumeirah Beach Park, created by the best landscape designers, can be called a real oasis in the desert. The beach has a sufficient number of playgrounds, walking areas, benches, gazebos.
