How to go to Dubai?

In the minds of many friends who have never been abroad, Dubai is like a rich person, but is this really the case? Regarding the project provided by our center to go to Dubai that does not include food and accommodation, friends, How to deal with it.

Stay

01

Etisalat Academy’s guest house,. A double room for one person costs 140 AED per day. The buffet restaurant in the guest house costs 15 AED for breakfast and 25 AED for lunch and dinner. That is to say, the basic food and accommodation cost is 14 65= 205 AED = 350 RMB/day. The guest house is close to the airport, but it is relatively remote and there are not many choices for food.

02

The 2-star hotel in the business bay, double room, including breakfast (rich buffet), 357 AED/day, good service attitude, but there are almost no hotels around For food, fortunately, it is only one station away from the Dubai Mall, so you can go there for daily meals.

03

Over in Dubai Marina, stay in a hotel apartment. The price is about 10,000 AED/month, but you can eat more there.

04

Dubai’s housing prices are not expensive compared with my country’s first-tier cities. One or two million can buy a small apartment on the seaside, and after the economic crisis in Dubai, housing prices have been recovering. In comparison, renting is slightly more expensive.

Food

Laoganma at Dragon Market costs less than 6 yuan in RMB. Ordering fast food takeout such as burgers costs about 25 AED = 40 RMB and you can eat for a day. In a neighborhood where migrant workers gather, you can have a curry rice for 5 AED = 9 yuan.

Dubai seems to be more local in Deira and Karama areas, and the food is cheaper. In addition, there are more Chinese food in International City. You can order a pot of tea at the tea house/cafe by the artificial lake for around 20 AED/tens of RMB.

In business bay, according to the price of the food court in dubai mall, a simple lunch and dinner usually cost 30-40 AED. Burgers at Burger King and Subway are priced at 2 AED. Go to a DIFC restaurant and the price for a simple meal is 60-80AED (just order a pasta or sandwich).

In terms of food, as long as it’s not Chinese food, there are still a lot of delicious food in Dubai. You can find most of the common international restaurant chains the chessecake factory/fridays/rainforest cafe/pizza hut, coldstone, pinkberry.starbuck.costa are also not difficult to find. In addition, due to the large number of Indian and Pakistani people in the local area, there are especially many delicious and authentic Indian and Pakistani dishes, available in all grades. Turkish food, Lebanese food and local kebab are also good choices.

The restaurant does not provide water, so you need to order it.

Okay

Dubai is not small. Taking a taxi to get anywhere will probably cost dozens of AED or hundreds of RMB.

But the subway only costs 2 Dirham and more than 3 RMB to get to the beach or shopping mall.

It is recommended to take a taxi to the subway station. As long as you get to the subway station, it's relatively convenient to go anywhere. The starting fare of a taxi is 3AED

Dividend cards, silver cards and x cards are more common in the subway? Card. The red card is a one-time use, while the silver card can be re-added like a transportation card, is slightly cheaper, and is valid for 5 years. Generally speaking, the subway is relatively cheap, usually only 2-5AED.

If there is an emergency, there is usually a helicopter space in the guest house yard, and you can reserve a helicopter. 1000 AED per hour, which is about several thousand RMB.

When working in Dubai, there are rarely the hot scenes in China of squeezing the subway, waiting for buses, and crowds of people. There is no need to commute for an hour or two to get off work. Most Chinese people's workplaces and residences are very close, and they don't even need transportation. There are also point-to-point shuttle buses for those who work in the mall, which is very convenient.

People with relatively good incomes and relatively far distances will also buy private cars. Traffic jams during rush hours are inevitable, but they are certainly not as serious as in China.

Tour

1

There are paid and free beaches. The free beaches and the paid beaches are actually connected together, but the entertainment projects are different. Things like bikini pageants or butt beauty contests are usually held at paid beaches.

2

The price of the more popular attractions like the water park at the Atlantis Hotel is about 245AED/person, and the lost chamber aquarium is 100AED/person. Then the ticket for Khalifa Burj Khalifa, also known as Burj Khalifa, is 130 AED. The tallest Burj Khalifa, it only takes one minute to go from the first floor to the observation deck on the 125th floor. Except for some ear discomfort, the rest is very smooth. Can see the panoramic view of Dubai.

3

Four floors below the Burj Khalifa is the Dubai Mall. More than 50% of them are Chinese shopping. Many stores will greet you in Chinese and will say they look good and are cheap. Discount... Many stores will hire Chinese waiters. I feel that China is really rich...

Telephone

DU's recharge card has a monthly rent of 0 , and the global roaming discount can still be used when you bring it back home. 1 AED = 1.7 yuan can play for 200 seconds. You can buy a card at the airport for 55 AED, but it’s just a card and comes with 10 minutes of free phone calls. You need to buy another recharge card. Recharge cards are divided into 20, 50 and 100 AED. Each card can only be used for data traffic or phone calls (this is very strange). 50--300mb traffic, 100--1g traffic. Valid for one month.

Shopping

The prices in Dubai are definitely much higher than in China, but they are still much lower than in London. For example, a light rail ride starts at 5 yuan, while in London it starts at about 20 yuan. Pork can be purchased at some supermarkets such as Spinneys, Waitrose and Chinatown, which is quite convenient.

Dubai is a duty-free city in terms of shopping. Major malls have a wide range of affordable items to luxury goods, with a wide range of brands.

Several big malls in Dubai are very beautiful and luxurious, such as Dubai Mall with its own aquarium.

The price of watches is the most reasonable, which is about 30% off the price in Hong Kong. Second- and third-tier brands such as Omega and Longines can even be discounted in half. First-tier brands such as Rolex and Jaeger-LeCoultre also have 20% to 10% off. Bags come next. Cosmetics are very expensive, even more expensive than those at Pudong Airport. It is recommended not to buy them. The two largest shopping malls in Dubai are Dubai Mall and Emirates Mall.

About wages

About 80% of the population here are immigrants, and wages range from very high to very low. Especially for some Indian and Pakistani workers, the wages are particularly low, 1,000-1,500 dirhams, which should be 1,600-2,500 yuan. This kind of salary level can be imagined when living in a wealthy country. Some Indian workers eat flatbread + tea all week long. That kind of cake is estimated to be 1-2 dirhams per bag, and there are 5-7 pieces in a bag. There are one to two thousand Indian and Pakistani workers, three to four thousand market workers, five to six thousand Chinese teachers, seven to eight thousand salespeople, and tens of thousands of tour guides and bank employees. Generally speaking, everyone's salary level is not only related to their own abilities, but also related to their occupation and industry. The overall work rhythm and competitive atmosphere in Dubai are not as tight and bloody as those in China. The heat wave is like warm water, boiling batches of frogs who are unconscious or have penetrated into the bone marrow.

The rigid expenses are mainly accommodation. This item will roughly account for 1/3 of the total budget. Since most of the products are made in China, the prices of the products are similar to those in China, but the tax in Dubai is much lower. The cost of eating for a month is about 1,000-1,500 dirhams.

There is no need to pay taxes when opening a company in Dubai, and the legal working hours are from 8 am to 2 pm, so there is no pressure. When I buy fast food and see the waiter, I feel like I'm watching in slow motion. The same goes for worshiping. I hear a loudspeaker playing a deep male voice singing in the hall in the morning, noon and evening, and I suddenly feel that the rhythm is even slower.

The security room in Dubai is very good, very good, very good! ! !

When choosing a job or changing jobs, it is always good to think more long-term and think about future development and prospects.

Dubai is a city that leaves no room behind. The two-year visa system and the iron-clad policy of no immigration keep the city of Dubai always fresh and dynamic.

Two years is a hurdle. This is a problem that every young person who comes to Dubai must face. Although Dubai is also an international metropolis, it lags behind more than a little in terms of the Internet. Can you imagine what a terrible phenomenon it is that there is no Alipay in China, and Alipay in China has begun to clamor for a cashless society? Staying is not necessarily worthy of admiration; leaving is not necessarily a compromise. Instead of struggling and entangled, it is better to put your energy into the present, work hard to do a good job, learn more skills, and manage every day well. Even if I leave, I will still be grateful for my hard work in Dubai and for the unforgettable life experience.
