Things You Need to
Know Before You Arrive in Dubai Dubai is the perfect choice for a family holiday. It is one of the world-class cities that deliver stellar hospitality, amazing adventures, and great shopping experience. This place is a perfect blend of modernity and tradition; there are a lot of exciting places that you can visit in Dubai with your family.
But there are five things that you must know before you reach Dubai:
Plan between October and April Dubai has just two seasons — hot and hotter. The months between October and April are less hot and are known as the winter season; these months bring blue skies and perfect beach weather to the city. These months also have the rainy season, but usually, rain showers don’t last for too long, so this won’t be affecting your travel dates.
Book flights six months in advance International airlines usually release their cheapest tickets about six months prior to their departure dates. However, this doesn’t mean that you should necessarily buy your tickets that far ahead of time, but it is always a great to start looking and comparing prices. Your travel will help you with getting the cheapest flight deals to Dubai. It is even better if you book for all inclusive Dubai holidays, as this will help you enjoy the trip as everything is pre-booked.
Be respectful during Ramadan If you are visiting Dubai during the holy month of Ramadan, which is celebrated during the ninth month of the 12-month Islamic calendar, then it is crucial that you respect the Muslims and their practice of fasting. This means that you cannot eat, drink, or smoke in public in front of them between the sunrise and sunset.
Dress Modestly We all know that everybody gets excited about exploring their wardrobe for their holiday. But when you are packing for your Dubai holiday then think conservative over revealing or being flashy. Women’s clothing is considered to be indecent if it is too short, tight or transparent, while men should never walk around without their shirt on. So, dress modestly to avoid any kind of unwanted attention and respect the Muslim culture.
Be careful while consuming alcohol Alcohol is legal in Dubai! So, you can’t drink in public as being drunk publically, and drunken driving are prohibited. Also, you are not allowed to buy alcohol for your own use without a permit, and if you’re buying, then you must buy it from an establishment that has a license. However, buying drinks at a bar or restaurant is no problem, just keep in mind to not roam around drunken.
