Well-known brands such as Cartier have counters or sales points in the airport duty-free area. You can use US dollars and AED at the airport. Dubai International Airport is the world's busiest international airport and has been voted the world's best airport for several consecutive years.

(The currency unit is dinar and Dubai currency, and the conversion multiplied by 2 is equal to the price in RMB). Wherever you travel by plane, the first place that leaves an initial impression on you is the airport. From the first time I took a plane to take photos around the airport, to visiting every city and country and taking photos of local airports, all of this was just to retain the beautiful images I had never had before and share them with friends who had never been there. Brands: There are all kinds of big brands, such as YSL, Lanc?me, Shiseido and other cosmetics, as well as Rolex, Omega, Boba, Centenary, IWC, Cartier, Jaeger-LeCoultre and other famous watches. Price Level: Skin care products are very cheap. Shopping environment: The duty-free zone covers an area of ??9,000 square meters, with gorgeous facilities, world-renowned brands, and fashion that keeps pace with Europe and the United States. It is a truly world-class shopping airport. Features: You can use credit cards to make purchases, either in U.S. dollars or dirhams, eliminating the 1.5% local currency handling fee for domestic dual-currency credit cards. Disadvantages: The dried arabic fruits that the family was looking forward to were disappointed. A 500g pack of dried fruits costs about 50 yuan. When I opened it, I found it was very wet and not as good as the ones bought in Beijing supermarkets. Experience: Dubai International Airport is known as the busiest airport for passengers and cargo, with 100 foreign airlines using Dubai International Airport. The 9,000-square-meter duty-free shop has become the third largest airport duty-free shop in the world, with sales in 2005 exceeding 2.1 billion dirhams (US$590 million).

The boarding gates at Dubai International Airport change frequently. Remember to check the information boards every once in a while to avoid missing your flight. 2. Because Dubai International Airport is very long and narrow, it takes a while to get from the duty-free shop to the boarding gate. Therefore, if the transit time is tight, be sure to save time and don't let shopping delay boarding. Tips: In Dubai, government agencies usually start working at 7 or 8 in the morning and end at 2 at noon. Do not open their doors in the afternoon. So everything has to be done in the morning. Generally, companies go to work at 9 a.m., get off work at 2 noon, then go to work at 4 p.m., and get off work at 8 p.m. Unlike in China, the rest day here is Friday

On August 8, 2008, I The dream country - Dubai, United Arab Emirates, has always given me the impression that Dubai is mysterious, luxurious, romantic and mythical. It has many of the best in the world and has created impossible myths one after another. There are also some rumors online that Dubai is full of gold and luxury cars. What is the real situation? I want to explore it with my eyes. The trip transited in Hong Kong and then flew to Dubai, arriving at Dubai International Airport at 6:30 am on August 9, 2008, UAE time. Near the airport, I saw the endless desert, and the whole city was shrouded in sand and fog. After landing, take the airport transfer subway to the immigration hall. Upon entry, you must have your iris scanned. Iris scanning is a biometric technology that is currently relatively rare in China. Similar to recording fingerprints of immigrants. The UAE’s immigrant population accounts for three-quarters of the total population. Iris scanning prevents some foreigners from re-entering the country with multiple identities after breaking the law or having a bad record. Because iris scans, like fingerprints, are unique, more advanced than fingerprints, and easier to record and archive. 1Our first stop today is Sharjah. Sharjah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi are also known as the three major cities in the United Arab Emirates (locals call them the three major countries). On the first day from Dubai to Sharjah, we first took a water taxi. The attentive tour guide also gave us a special visit to the closed Dubai Bus Station. I have to say that the bus station is indeed much more comfortable and user-friendly than in our country. It is equipped with seats, air conditioning, city maps and WiFi. In August, the UAE is really hot.

Since we first arrived here, everyone did not get out of the car but took a bus to visit the city of Sharjah. Attentive friends should have discovered by now that luxury cars are not everywhere in the UAE, as said. In fact, most of the cars in the city are ordinary cars, which are not much different from those in our country. But what surprised me was the architecture. From Dubai to Sharjah, all the buildings in the two cities have different styles and unique shapes. You can Idon’t find any two buildings that look exactly the same. At first I kept taking pictures with my mobile phone, but later I found that it was completely captured. After returning to Dubai from Sharjah, we visited the Dubai Museum, which is much smaller than some famous museums in the country. It mainly displays some local customs and character sculptures. If your friends are traveling on their own and are pressed for time, it is not recommended to go. After the museum tour, the tour guide took us to the Lavita latex store in the afternoon. In my impression, latex is unique to the Southeast, but I don’t expect it to appear among the rich. Here, I learned that latex products are also sold in Dubai because they are widely loved by Arab tycoons. I took a trip and felt that the quality was much better when I joined a group tour in Southeast Asia, and the price was cheaper than what I bought in Thailand. Many friends in the same group bought it. As expected of the United Arab Emirates, it has everything. Then, we took the world-famous unmanned light rail and visited the eighth wonder of the world, Palm Jumeirah, and the six-star hotel, Atlantis Palm Jumeirah, the largest artificial island in the world. US$14 billion is Dubai’s business card and one of the three major artificial island projects in Dubai. The other two are Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Deira. A visit to Burj Al Arab is not included in the itinerary, but Burj Al Arab is only accessible if you have meals or accommodation. So after returning to the hotel in the afternoon, I bought a poolside buffet worth more than 1,200 from Beehive (the buffet restaurant has a good environment, with indoor and outdoor seats, and you can enjoy the sea view with the sea breeze, but I really can't Idon' I'm not used to it. I'm almost I cried and vomited, and I just ate some fruit, so I didn’t take any photos.) After booking dinner, I took a taxi to the Burj Al Arab and visited the big sailing ship and the longed-for Arabian Eye.
