Dubai Vacation Tips

Here are some handy tips before you travel to Dubai: 1. Best time to have holidays in Dubai – Dubai has extreme weather conditions. Few months of the year are extremely hot. The best time to visit Dubai is from November to March. This is the “winter” period in Dubai. The temperature is mild (average 20C). 2. Avoid Ramadan – Ramadan is the fasting month of Muslims. There is a daily fasting time, which approximately starts around 5:00am and ends around 5:00pm. NO ONE (including tourists) can eat, drink or even smoke in public places during this time. 3. Visa requirements – You may have to apply for a visit visa before visiting Dubai. Citizens of few countries (first world countries such as USA, UK, Australia etc) can get visa on arrival. Check with your travel agent to confirm the visa requirement for your country while booking your Dubai holiday. 4. Liquor – Visitors cannot buy liquor from liquor shops in Dubai. Only residents who are holding a liquor license can buy them. Visitors have to go to a bar in a hotel or to a nightclub to get liquor. Tip: Buy your liquor from the Dubai Duty Free shop on arrival. 5. Car rentals – Taxi fare is expensive in Dubai. Rent a car is the best option. Do it in advance. Visit Dubai car rentals section of this web site. 6. Driving – Dubai is a left hand driven state. Salik is the local toll tax! 7. Accommodation options – Dubai has a wide range of accommodation options. Visit our Accommodation section. 8. Shopping tips – Dubai is a paradise for shoppers. Must visit Dubai Mall and Mall of Emirates! 9. Language – You will have to speak to many people (specially Arabs) during your holidays in Dubai. While Arabic is the main language in Dubai, most of them can understand and speak English. 10. Law – Dubai has become one of the safest places on earth because of tough laws. Respect the law and the culture while enjoying your holiday in Dubai.
