Dubai: City Introduction

I never thought of going to Dubai because as a traveller it never interested me. Dubai is an urban centre full of wonders created my man and nothing natural. As well, with regards to meeting your Co travelers – YOU CANNOT because there are no hostels in Dubai. Thus, it is a city of tourist, which is basically the  main source of Income over there.  

It was never in my bucket list though somehow I planned and landed in Dubai. My first impression was – I didn’t feel that Dubai is an International City. It has so many Indians living there and the food &  lifestyle was so homely. However the fact that made a difference is the law which treats the citizens and the tourists as equal and most of the time keeps everything in order.

 It was time to explore Dubai from a travellers point of view.

Dubai Walking Tour

In order to know about Dubai, its culture, its people, its food- this tour is a must. You have to take this tour on your own, without any guidance. This tour covers old and oldest Dubai. Along with this tour you will get to know the reason for its success and how it has become one of the most visited tourist destination of the world. You will not see any Sky Scrapers, no tourists, nor high class restaurants and no Rolls Royce or Lamborghini.  There will only be you and Dubai- the most preferable way to explore any place.

Dubai Laws

It’s the rules and regulations of Dubai that makes it free from crime. Yes, in order to commit any crime, you will think thousand times and at the end you won’t. I still remember whenever we went out we never felt the need to lock our door. There are some laws which don’t make sense, but still you have to obey them. So you have to be cautious when traveling in Dubai.

Local Food

It constitutes- Falafel, Hummus, Shawarma and at last Biryani. The local delicacy is Camel Biryani- must eat if you are in Dubai.

Local Transport

Dubai Metro connects most of the place in Dubai from Downtown to Marina and from Bur Dubai to Jumeirah. It’s the best and the most inexpensive way of transport in Dubai. The conveyance system also constitutes Buses and cabs. NOL Card is a must if you desire to go in Dubai through Metro and Buses because no immediate payment is accepted. 

Places of Interest

Dubai is one of the most visited destination around the world. This is because it has many things to offer to each and every tourist who comes here. The recent ones are: Dubai Frame and Dubai Safari and Marine Park. I have watched most of it, but this leash of them you cannot get anywhere- Desert Safari, Burj Khalifa 148th Floor and Global Village. It’s a must visit. 

• Burj Khalifa

The View of the desert city was awesome from the pinnacle and I also saw the Curve of the dry land. It was just so mind blowing. Of course you have to put an ant in your pocket to buy a ticket for 148^th Floor. But the cost paid is actually worth it.

• Desert Safari

I have only heard about it and had seen the videos but when I experienced it, I got to know it was worth doing. It was the most adventurous thing I have done till date in my life. It’s all on Driver’s capability to rush your adrenalin.

• Global Village

This is a perfect master piece.  I have discovered a bunch of situations where they have built monuments in miniature form from all over the globe. But Dubai came two steps forward and made this Village, which is known as Global Village. It constitutes food and  products along with the monuments from all over the globe. It’s a definite must visit. 

Shopping Paradise

After Thailand, Dubai is a paradise for Shoppers. It has everything for each and every type of shopper who comes to Dubai. You can buy the cheapest as well as the most expensive ones here. But the best time is during DSF (Dubai Shopping Festival) which is held every year at the time of New Year. Dubai Mall is a must for Branded Shopping; Day to Day for Souvenir and other home wares. If you would like to buy something extra ordinary at extremely cheap prices than you should go to Dubai Outlet Mall.
