Dubai- the city of future

Hi everyone , today I would like to share my experiences that I had in Dubai. So guys Dubai is one of the most amazing places in the world .

I know that most of you get frustrated while preparing for the trip on topics such as how to book , which places to visit , where to live , which time of the year to go,  from where should you book and etc etc ....
I can make your work very easy .


Getting there 

So ofcourse all of you would be coming from flights from there respective places . For rich people, I would advice you to take Emirates for the best luxury . Another option is Qatar airways . But let me warn you never take air India , it's the worst flight . 

When  to go 

The best time to visit Dubai is in the new year . You will get the best experience and the best weather . Dubai also has a festival called Dubai festival which happens from end of dec to end of January.  So I think that the best is to go between December and January and spend your new years over there . It is the peak season in Dubai when most of the travellers come to visit there . If you try to go any other time of the year then you will find extremely hot temperatures in Dubai. Also in Dubai festivals most of the items are flat 70 percent off . You can get a lot of discount at that time of the year.


Where to stay

There is no shortage of hotels in Dubai . It contains one of the most luxurious hotels of the world.  You can stay in palm jumeirah,  burj al Arab,  park Regis, Hyatt, etc. If your budget is low then you can stay in cheaper areas like near the gold souk in apartments like hafeez hotel apartments but then you will have to face the problems of cheap places .




Getting around 

There are a lot of taxis all around the city . All of them are cars of Toyota . If you pick a taxi from airport then the base fare will be AED 25 . Likewise if you pick taxis from any landmark the base prices are higher like AED7 or AED 10 BUT if you pick taxis from normal places then the base fare is just AED5 . Also there is a metro and tram in Dubai which is very cheap and connects almost whole of the city . You can download the metro line map from internet or ask any person around .


What to wear 

Dubai is mostly hot throughout the year but if you visit in December or January then you need not take a lot of winter clothes . Just take a thin jacket and rest summer clothes .
Also don't forget to take your swimming clothes coz you are gonna enjoy the beaches of Dubai.  


Language 

Most of the people speak English,  Arabic,  and hindi.  

Food 

The food is fresh and delicious . You can try the middle eastern authentic food.  You can also get a lot of Indian restaurants in downtown.  I would advice you to ignore the American fast food places in Dubai.  The thing you must try is the juices of Dubai.  Juices , shakes , European cheese , dates ,etc are some amazing items that can be found in Dubai.  


Places to visit 

So the first one is of course the famous Burj Khalifa . It's amazing.  You must buy a ticket to go on the 125th floor in one of the fastest elevators of the world . You can see the amazing view from the 125th floor .

Visit the desert safari at night . It is one of the famous experiences in Dubai.  You can ride over the sands in an SUV like land rover and then when you reach the spot,  there are activities like riding a quad bike , camel ride , holding a falcon , explore the desert and eat some traditional food .

Visit the global village which is a massive place filled with shopping, dining , live performances , and take the cultural experience . There are dance and sword shows .

Visit the Dubai marina and enjoy the scenic beauty of beautiful yacht parked over there . It is just opposite to metro station . It is an amazing spot for clicking pictures. 

Hit to the malls . Visit the most famous Dubai mall which is so huge that you will have to take the whole day and still your shopping won't be finished.  There are also activities like aquarium, etc inside the mall. The mall contains one of the most branded shops of the world. The aquarium also contains one of the largest crocodiles of the world . If you go exactly at 4pm to the aquarium then you can see the crocodile eating food . There are also sharks and big sea animals inside the mall . It's amazing.  You can also visit other malls like Emirates mall , city centre mall, etc .

Go to the Dubai fountain show which happens in the Dubai mall exactly at 7pm .

I would advice you not to go to the dhow cruise . It is the most boring experiences of my life .
You can try marina cruise instead .

Next I would advice you to take a day tour to Abu dhabhi . It is a 90 min drive from Dubai.  You can visit the grand mosque over there which is very famous.  And the most amazing thing of the whole trip which is the Ferrari world  . It is an excellent place for family and kids . It has so many rides and experiences that you will want to go there again and again . It costs usually AED 300 for the bronze pass but I would advice you to take the silver pass because in some rides there is so much traffic that you will have to wait till 1hour for one ride . The Ferrari world has the fastest roller coaster of the world .





Go dancing at BARASTI . It is an outdoor bar with a beach at the bottom. There is a huge dance floor , sheesh smoking,  food , a food truck , and many different lounge areas .

Last thing is that do a lot of shopping in Dubai by visiting the malls and gold souks.
Remember there is a lot of discount at the Dubai festival .
