Dubai is HOT and Humid as such best time to Plan a Dubai Holiday
is in the “winter months of Dubai”, which Same as India, the temperatures are
cooler with highs in the 50s to lows in the 40s. This is from November to March;
the weather has made this period as the peak tourist season.
Dubai is costlier in this Season.

Dubai:
Like any other major city, Dubai is Infested with Many Problems;
Traffic is one of them. There is also rush hour traffic on workdays of the week

For the Cheap prices use the regular taxi and not the Luxury Lexus
taxis. Check to see if there is a meter in the taxi.
Metro:
Dubai has a very efficient and easy to use the Metro system. During the rush
hour, this may be your best choice based on. During the week the trains run
more often. You can Buy Tourist Pass Of pass.

available. Starting Point for both are located at the Dubai mall for pickup and
have different routes that it takes you to all the main areas. You can purchase
a multi-day pass.
What to wear in Dubai during the Dubai
trip?
Dress code is a Major Reason for stress for many people
traveling to the United Arab Emirates. Tourists and ex-pats wear regular
clothes. You are expected to wear closed-toe
shoes with pants or long skirts for ladies with your shoulders covered while
dining in restaurants in Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab.
PDA in public: You could get arrested for public displays of affection while in Dubai. I later read that holding hands and a
peck on the cheek is fine.
Money, Money, Money!
Dubai currency is called “Dirham” or AED for Arab Emirate
Dirham. You can see it abbreviated ads Dhs or DH. The dollar bill
denominations conveniently Displayed in Arabic on one side and English on
the other side. There are coins as well. The current conversion is 1 Dirham
equals Rs18. But again, once you can exchange money on arrival at the airport
but you may get a slightly better exchange rate at the malls. And there are
plenty of malls. In terms of credit cards, most places only take Mastercard or
Visa cards.
Language Spoken in Dubai:
Most people were fluent in English.
Hindi and Arabic and the street signs, menus, basically all the signage was in
both Arabic and English. This made it very easy to navigate. You can live in
Dubai by knowing Hindi Only.
Food &Alcohol in Dubai:
Dubai is known for multi-racial cuisines
and delicacies and anything you wish to eat you will find here. You Can
try authentic Cuisine of Malay, Asian, Thai
including Indian and can see their influence on the local food in Dubai.
Since Dubai is a Muslim region, do not expect to find pork to eat in the
restaurants. Dubai offers plenty of seafood, lamb, beef, and chicken on Menu.
Popular dishes include shawarma (sliced meat like a kebab), hummus, curried
dishes, basmati rice, and marinated whole fish. Dates are also very popular
food. It comes in many varieties and you will find date markets and fancy date
shops in the malls. Try some with Arabic coffee.
Alcohol: Alcohol is Not encouraged in Dubai but
Tourists are allowed to drink at licensed hotels, bars and restaurants in
Dubai. Your hotel fridge is fully stocked! However, you are not allowed to use
alcohol in public, including on the beach. Public drunkenness is also not
allowed. To purchase alcohol in Dubai, you must have a license. To get around
this rule you may purchase alcohol at the duty-free shop at the airport
