Looking for practical tips for a trip to the UAE? The following information is for you!
Tip #1 Change your approach to weekendsEvery weekend at the mall, the same restaurants, the same routes... Does it sound familiar? After a couple of months of this routine, even the most luxurious places start to get boring. Instead of getting stuck in traffic jams at Marina Beach, try something new!
The desert is calling!
Why not go to the desert for a weekend with a tent and a barbecue? This is not only a great opportunity to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, but also a chance to enjoy the starry sky and the incredible atmosphere. The desert is a place where you can really relax and recharge your batteries.
Unique hotels in Hatta
If you’re looking for a vibe unavailable even in Dubai’s most luxurious places, be sure to check out Hatta. Here you will find cozy hotels and unique locations that will give you an unforgettable experience. Nature, tranquility and the opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city – that's what you need for the perfect weekend!
Tip #2: Discover alternative beachesJumeirah Public Beach and Al Mamzar Beach are real treasures! They are cleaner, quieter and without the “tourist” price tag. Here you can enjoy the sun and the sea without crowds of people and high prices for deck chairs. Don’t forget to bring a good book on your picnic — it’s a great way to spend your time!
Tip #3 Simplify your life with technologyIn Dubai, as in the rest of the world, technology makes life easier. Install several useful apps at once:
- Careem is a convenient taxi service that helps you get around quickly.
- Deliveroo – order food from your favorite restaurants directly to your home.
- InstaShop – fresh food, medicines and pet supplies at your doorstep in minutes!
These apps will close 90% of your household tasks, allowing you to focus on more important things.
Tip #4 Choose the “right” area to live inDon't settle in Downtown if you travel a lot. Due to traffic, a trip to the airport, DIFC or Marina can take forever. It is better to choose areas with direct access to the highway: JLT, Dubai Hills or Al Barsha South. This will not only save you time, but also make life more comfortable.
Tip #5 Get to know the local traditions
To feel like a real local, it is important to understand the culture and traditions of the UAE. Visit local markets, taste traditional cuisine, and participate in the festivities. Getting to know the local customs will not only enrich your experience, but also help you make new acquaintances.
