Dubai UAE

Dubai
City of UAE

Dubai is the city in United Arab Emirates and the capital of the Emirate of Dubai (one of the seven emirates in UAE).


How to Reach Dubai

Dubai International Airport (IATA: DXB) is the world's busiest airport by international passenger traffic.
Find a cheap flight from below. This is my favorite search engines because it search websites and airlines around the world. Enter your depart and return date. If one way then cross the return date.



From airport you have to go to you hotel by Metro or bus.

* Private Transfer from Dubai Airport.

Hotels in Dubai

Dubai is one of the 10 most tourist city in the world. So Hotels are located every corner in this city.
You can book your hotel from below as I use it all the time. It compare Booking.com, Trip Advisor and other sites and find a budget or luxury hotel at the best price. Just enter your check in and check out date and click on search.




Transportation in Dubai

Transportation in Dubai is costly. Metro is the cheapest way to travel. Dubai Metro is a fully automated, driverless. Cash payment is not allowed during journey by metro, Tram, Bus or Water Bus in Dubai. You must buy a Nol card or Nol ticket from the counter. There are different types of Nol card. Such as

* Nol Red Ticket/Card
* Nol Gold Card
* Nol Silver Card
* Nol Blue Card
* Nol Personalized Gold Card

Among them Red Ticket is famous for Tourist and visitors. So we are describing here about only Nol Red Ticket/Card.

You have to buy Red Card from the booths in the Metro stations or at Customer Service Centres and Bus and Tram stations. Cost is AED 2 ($0.54).
Now you have to load how much you travel. If you travel much in a day, then 1 day Ticket/Card is best.
1 day pass cost AED 20 ($5.45). It will cover unlimited metro, tram and bus ride. There are are 7 metro zone in Dubai. 1 day pass will cover all zone. If you want more comfortable you can load gold class. It cost AED 40 ($10.89) for 1 day pass.
You can load in 1 red Nol card, maximum of 5 one day tickets. After that you need to buy a new Red Nol card.

So you can Travel 5 days in Dubai unlimited by Metro, Tram and Public Bus, only for 2 + (20*5) = AED 102 ($27.77). Isn't it nice?

If you don't like public transport then Hop-on, hop-off tourist buses (Big Bus Dubai) can be the next choice.

*Buy online and get discount for Dubai Hop-On Hop-Off Classic, Premium or Deluxe Bus Ticket.

I have described at the end of this post regarding Big Bus Dubai which may help you to know more information before buy.


Tourist Places in Dubai

Traveling Dubai is costly. If you are budget traveler, you need to know how to travel in Dubai on a budget. Such as, online price is cheaper than gate price of an attraction. If you have the opportunity, buy online ticket.
If you want to visit all the places in Dubai listed below, you need minimum AED 6000 ($1600) + Transport Cost + Food Cost + Staying Cost.
Our main goal is to minimize the cost. There is only one option and that is buying Dubai Pass.
There are different types of Dubai Pass, such as -

* Go Dubai
* Dubai Unlimited (iVenture)
* Dubai City Pass

Among them Dubai City Pass is the lowest rate but covers less attractions and iVenture card covers most of the attractions but little bit high price. I will describe later about the passes.
