5 Things to Know Before You Holiday in Dubai

Everyone likes to have their holidays in Dubai. Luxurious moments, fabulous sights and surroundings make it a perfect holiday spot. People who want to have a holiday with family and kids prefer this place due to the opportunities for fun and endeavours available there. Ladies like to do the shopping, kids want to see the sights and have fun on the beach. It is all there in Dubai.

 

Knowing your target visiting place is better to have more fun and get the maximum out of your trip. Please find below five vital things that you must know before travelling to Dubai.

 

The Best Time to Visit Dubai

 

Choosing proper time to travel to Dubai is very much crucial otherwise you may get disappointed by the unsuitable weather conditions. It can get agonisingly hot in Dubai if you choose to visit Dubai other than winters. You may not stand the heat. Even in winters the weather just gets pleasant and never chilly. In addition to this look for the holy month of Ramadan (when there is every day fasting between 5am and 5pm that stops everybody from eating, drinking or smoking in public). The duration between December and March is the best part of the year to visit Dubai.

 

Behaviour

 

You must respect the Islamic Laws when you are in Dubai. Observe your behaviour and respect the local customs and social trends. The laws in Dubai do not allow any person any kind of indemnity and each and every person is bound to obey the Islamic laws. There is a law that in the country, sexual relationship between unmarried people and homosexuality are illegal even kissing at public is illegal. Therefore take special care and avoid any law breaking activities.

 

Alcohols are sold in hotels and nightclubs only, which is quite similar to the clubs and bars in rest of the world. So in simple words; Respect the law and the local customs with regards to alcohol and sex and you shall have a good time there.

 

Moving Around

 

When you are in Dubai, you would definitely love to move around and see the sights. But moving around in Taxis is a costly choice and can squeeze your budget for other activities. Hiring a car with driver can be a best option. If you have international driving licence; you can hire a vehicle without driver as well.

 

The Must Sees

 

There are plentiful great sights in Dubai. A desert safari is an absolute must experience place. Shopping at the gold market, the Wild Wadi Waterpark to cool off, the amazing indoor artificial ski slope (with 'real' snow), the astonishingly green golf course and some spectacular hot air balloon rides. You're never short of things to do on a luxury holiday in Dubai.

 

The Language Barrier

 

The official language spoken in Dubai is Arabic, but English language is not a stranger in Dubai. Try to talk slowly and clearly to the natives as they try to understand their foreign language. Speaking slow is beneficial for you as well so that you are not misunderstood.
