Dubai for the first time

Overview

Glamour, glamour, and lots of luxury. This is the first thing that comes to mind when you consider Dubai. There are the highest buildings in the world, the largest shops, and the most luxurious experiences like The Burj Khalifa. It is big and extravagant. There are some differences from the west worth mentioning. These are six tips for first-time Dubai visitors to make the most out of their trip.

Because of Dubai’s futuristic atmosphere, and its glossy, Western facade, it is easy to forget you are on the Arabian Peninsula. 

The Culture of Dubai

The cultural norms of the United Arab Emirates are different from those in the West. A few too many drinks, or what may seem like a normal outfit for a night out can put you in a difficult spot. It’s a good idea not to drink alcohol in bars or wear western clothes.

Dubai’s two seasons are hot and very hot. Bad news for those tourists who have grown up exploring cities on foot: Dubai wasn’t designed for walking. It was designed for both driving and riders. Fly in a helicopter if you feel particularly extravagant.

The weekend in Dubai

This is right: Friday’s brunch marks the beginning of Dubai’s weekend. If you’re from the West, then you are probably used to weekends lasting from Sunday to Saturday. Dubai is unique in its approach to business. Emiratis work from Sunday to Thursday, and Friday and Saturday are weekends.

It takes less than 45 minutes to travel from Dubai’s towering towers to endless dunes. You don’t have to leave the city behind to explore the vastly deserted Arabian Desert. 

The activities in Dubai

Take a balloon ride to explore the sky and search for gazelles, sauntering cars, and emerald-green oases. If you prefer to be on the ground, consider a dune safari and sundown safari. No matter what you do, the desert will not let you down.

The Emiratis love to shop 

Even those who are staunch supporters of “shop til you drop,” will feel overwhelmed. Why? These huge malls have everything. Do you want stylish clothing? Check. Jewelry? Check. Check.

Dubai Beaches

The beaches of Dubai are beautiful and extremely hot. You should wait until winter before you head to the beaches. The temperature can reach 105 degrees (40° Celsius) between June and August. If you travel to Dubai in November or March, you are in luck. 

This is the time of year when it feels cool enough to relax on the beach. You can relax, jet ski, or parasail above the Arabian Sea. There are many exciting activities.

Two monitors are available to monitor the levels that are accessible to the public. They can also monitor the Lounge Area, the restaurants (Armani Deli, Burj club, As well as Atmosphere), as well as the Ultra-premium Hotel.
