Tipped to be a one-stop vacation Mecca for the masses, making the most of your Dubai holiday requires planning and research. From timing the tour to local transport, let us explore what Dubai has to offer in terms of touristic value.
Best Time to Travel
Travellers heading to Dubai should remember that the heat is a part of a holiday in Dubai regardless of the time of year but those who visit during the months from November to March can expect the most tolerable weather patterns. Dubai is too hot for comfort in July and August although the cost of luxury apartments in Dubai whether it’s at Oaks Liwa Heights or any other venue is considerably cheaper during this time.
Getting Around
Walking is not an option in the city, so metered taxis are the best bet for travellers looking to get around efficiently while in Dubai. The metro train service in Dubai is also excellent with designated seats for ladies only travel and the ultrachic “Gold Class” seats.
Dubai on Lockdown
Visitors should also be aware that the sacred month of Ramadan has a significant impact on tourist activities in Dubai. Eating and drinking in public are not allowed during this season.
Top Recreational Activities
Home to some of the world’s most iconic malls including the Dubai Mall and the Mall of the Emirates, the city is a shopaholic’s dream destination. Other interesting things to do in Dubai include indulging one’s taste buds in the variety of local delicacies available in the souqs and other local eateries in town.
