I think this travelogue will really help you all since this is one of the best places for your first international trip with your friends or your family.
We were 5 friends and decided to go to Dubai for 4 nights and 5 days.
Points to Remember.
We were 5 friends and decided to go to Dubai for 4 nights and 5 days.
Points to Remember.
- One dihram is around 17.7 rupees. We got it for 18.1 rs from a friend.
- Use government taxi and not Uber if you want to save travelling cost by up to 50%. The only difference between the two is that you get only Innova and Camry from government and from Uber you get a variety of cars.
- Avoid going to amusement parks on Friday and Saturday (weekly off) or any other place where you think local people might turn up. You will have to wait in queues. Best option is Sunday being the first working day.
- Avoid yelling and Don't argue with anyone there. Even if he's wrong , say sorry and move on. The rules are really strict and you can't just hit anyone.
- Avoid going there from may - July. The temperatures can go above 45*C and above 50*C in the desert.
- Reach Ferrari world early in the morning around 10:30 am. It opens at 11 Am and you can easily ride the roller coaster without waiting in line.
- Most people talk in Hindi so communication won't be a problem there.
- Bargain hard at meena bazaar. Counter offer the shop guy around 1/3rd the quoted price.
- Avoid getting branded items like clothes , belts , watches etc from Dubai. The things there are expensive than delhi's prices. A watch costing 14k in Delhi costs around 22k I'm Dubai.
- You can get Mobile phones at cheaper rates however i didn't find a big price difference in apple phones. Samsung s8 for example was around 10k cheaper.
- Stags are not allowed at public beaches. We were asked to leave when we sat in a group. It's better to divide into smaller groups and you won't have a problem.
- you can't get liquor from any shop , you have to go to clubs or restaurant so buy something from the aiport duty free and drink at the hotel.
