Hello World! Welcome Friends! Everybody wants to visit Dubai once in their lives. You can travel for business or as a tourist; either way, you’ll enjoy the city’s beauty and hospitality. Traveling to Dubai can be a challenging experience for many, especially those not used to public transport.
You can fly to Dubai by major airlines. UAE-based airlines allow passengers to use mobile and online check-in to most of their destinations. You can also drive from the neighboring countries; however, you have to follow certain protocols. You can also reach Dubai by sea.
Things You Didn’t Know About Dubai
When planning to visit Dubai, you should stop thinking that the city is all desert and heat. Dubai has a rich culture and history. Dubai’s culture is rooted in Islam, which shapes their way of life. It is necessary to respect their culture and behave appropriately.
Dubai is famous for being an entertainment hub, and although alcohol is not forbidden, it should only be taken in designated areas. Apart from entertainment, you can head to the souqs for fantastic deals. The gold souq has jewelry at affordable prices; you can even get spices from the spice souq, and carpets and mats from the textile souq. Also, don’t forget to explore the cuisine because the food is great.
Where to Stay in Dubai
Dubai has many places to stay based on how much you are willing to spend. The accommodation is made easy by a variety of options, as listed below.
Hotels
You can stay in your favorite hotel in Dubai by choosing between various options. There are luxury, boutique, and budget hotels in Dubai. Hotels in Dubai have beautiful and elegant designs from the reception areas to guest rooms. Dubai hotels also offer exceptional services, and the staff is friendly. Some might even include butler services. Some hotels choose modern decorations, while others embrace the traditional Arabian style. You will find free Wi-Fi, TV, and other amenities in your guest room to make you feel at home. Most also provide great views of the city and have swimming pools and spa services. Generally, you can expect clean rooms with well-equipped bathrooms with enough toiletries as well as room services.
Hotel Apartments
Whether you travel a lot or not, it is necessary to be familiar with different options of accommodation. What is a hotel apartment? Also known as a serviced apartment, it combines the features of a hotel with a luxury apartment.
The hotel apartment has a big kitchen and a spacious living room to make it feel like you never left your home. If you’re traveling with your family, especially if you have kids, hotel apartments are comfortable and provide separate rooms.
Although every serviced apartment is different, there are various similarities. For instance, there are different options for kitchen use, like cookware, a full set of crockery, oven/stove, and dishwasher. There are endless entertainment options, like TVs, DVD players, and more.
Hostels
Did you know that you can stay at a hostel in Dubai? Hostels are convenient for people who wish to save money so they can have more adventures. If you don’t have enough money to stay at a hotel in Dubai, you can still get decent accommodation in a hostel.
Hostels also provide great opportunities to interact with other travelers and discover new places to visit. You can meet new people in shared spaces like the kitchen, bar, and game room. If you plan to stay at a hostel, you need to carry several essential items apart from your travel essentials. For instance, a travel towel, toiletries, and a padlock. There are many hostels in Dubai with various amenities.
Resorts
Most people confuse between a hotel and a resort. The difference is in the services they offer, available amenities, and location. Some people prefer resorts because they provide fun for the whole family.
Just like hotels in Dubai, you can sample international cuisines. You will get an opportunity to taste authentic Arabian, Indian, Lebanese, and Iranian dishes. You can finally try those Dubai dishes you only hear of, like Manousheh (pizza of Dubai), Chelo Kebab, or even try vegan delicacies.
Guesthouses
If you are adventurous and would like to try a different accommodation style, you can consider staying at a guesthouse. Although a guesthouse sounds like a cheap place and simple version of accommodation compared to hotels and resorts, it might surprise you. Guesthouses are on the same level as other accommodation options.
One of the distinguishing features of a guesthouse is personalized services. Since guesthouses accommodate fewer customers compared to hotels, you are more likely to get better and more attentive services.
When you decide to travel to Dubai, you know exactly where you are going, but the big decision is choosing where to stay. Dubai has various options for accommodation, depending on your preferences and how much you are willing to spend.
