Whenever the United Arab Emirates is mentioned, the first word that tourists think of is: Dubai! The city has magnificent buildings, skyscrapers, Burj Khalifa, the capital Abu Dhabi, Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum and so on.

When is the best time to go?

Dubai has an Indian Ocean climate. Summer (May-65438+1October) is extremely hot, with the temperature above 45℃, and there are small sandstorms in some desert areas. Although it is not a good weather for tourism now, many scenic spots in Dubai are indoor, so in fact, tourism is relatively not recommended at this time.

Especially at the beginning of the new year, Dubai has a pleasant climate and warm sunshine. Hot air balloons and global villages in Dubai are only open in winter and basically avoid Ramadan. At this time, it is the Dubai Shopping Festival, and the ultra-low discounts of major shopping malls will definitely make you want to stop!

How much does it cost to travel to Dubai?

Traveling in Dubai, whether it is a group tour or a 7-day free trip, costs about 8,000 yuan. However, the consumption level in Dubai is a bit high, so the cost of shopping in the local area will be counted separately.

Prices in Dubai are high, especially accommodation, catering, fruits and vegetables, which are much more expensive than those in China. For example, some netizens mentioned a grilled fish of 500 RMB, with an average of more than 500 RMB per meal. The mineral water in the supermarket is also 50 RMB, so friends who come to Dubai suggest that you buy coffee, as long as it is more than 30 RMB.

In many places in Dubai, such as duty-free shops at the airport, shopping malls in mall in UAE and so on. Shops can brush UnionPay cards, and some merchants offer different degrees of concessions. So you just need to change some extra necessary cash to use when taking a taxi or visiting the market. Whether you like it or not, you can join a group or travel for free. Don't spend too much. If you travel to Dubai, you will have about 100 dirhams in cash every day.

The price is also 8000- 10000 yuan. In fact, it is recommended to travel freely or bring a private tour guide, and local taxis are also very expensive. Car rental tour in Dubai is more affordable. As long as you live for 200 yuan a day, sometimes you can rent a luxury car. You can rent a car legally in the local area with the national translation certification of domestic drivers, which is super convenient.

From Xiamen, Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing and other big cities to Dubai, if you are prepared to pay attention to the ticket information 3-4 months in advance, you can buy more than 3,000 round-trip cheap air tickets. Direct flights usually take eight hours, and different airlines need to transfer. For example, it may take about 20 hours for Shanghai to transfer to Hong Kong.

What to wear to travel to Dubai? What are the precautions?

Many people will wonder, what is the dress code for girls traveling to Dubai in Saudi Arabia? Do they need to wear the same clothes as local girls? Actually, no.

In order to match the local climate, Arabs usually wear their national costumes and sandals. I heard that there are many restrictions on local women. There are many religious policemen in the local area. When they see any illegal activities, they will come out of the shadows and arrest you.

And every woman must be accompanied by a guardian when she goes out, usually her husband or father. In business, the boss is the guardian.

And we foreigners travel according to our own dress habits, that is, don't show your chest and back and wear sleeveless vests. /kloc-women under 0/5 don't want me. I don't need a veil. In some places with strong religious atmosphere, whether foreigners or not, they should wear veils.

Taboos and precautions in Dubai

Travel etiquette:

1. The UAE is an Islamic country, so we should respect the local dress etiquette in public. What does this lady wear when she travels? Try to avoid wearing clothes with bare back, abdomen, knees, tight and transparent; Men should not wear shorts or bare arms in public places;

2. Except immediate family members, lonely men and women are not allowed to appear alone in public places or suspicious places; It is best not to choose Dubai for honeymoon trip.

3. Don't wear pajamas, clothes with images or inappropriate words to enter the mosque. In the mosque, you should wear clean and decent clothes;

4. Respect local eating habits. Generally, Arab families still eat on the floor and eat with their hands. When being a guest, do as the Romans do;

Guests at Arab banquets are usually outside the restaurant. If they have a party at home, the hostess usually doesn't. Don't show up. When serving coffee, you usually pour half a cup of hot coffee from the thermos. After drinking it, the waiter will continue to add it, unless he shakes the cup in his hand from side to side with his thumb and middle finger to show that he has had enough, so there is no need to add it.
