Dubai, the city of luxury, adventure, and timeless charm offers endless opportunities for an unforgettable holiday. Whether you're planning to explore its towering skyscrapers, sandy deserts, or pristine beaches, preparing for your trip is essential. Here's a handy checklist to make your Dubai holiday as smooth as the Arabian sands.
Dubai’s weather is famously hot, so pack breathable clothing, sunscreen, and a wide-brimmed hat to shield yourself from the sun. Don't forget swimwear for the beach and a light jacket for those air-conditioned malls and restaurants. Remember, modest attire is advisable for cultural sites and mosques to respect local customs.
From capturing Insta-worthy skyline shots to navigating bustling souks, your gadgets are your best travel buddies. Bring a power bank, a universal adapter, and a quality camera. Don’t forget to download apps like Careem for transport or Zomato to scout Dubai’s culinary gems.
Finding the perfect hotel can make or break your holiday. Paramount Hotel Midtown is a standout choice for its chic Hollywood-inspired interiors, and its central location near the city’s top attractions makes it one of the best hotels to stay in Dubai. Whether you’re unwinding by the pool or enjoying the vibrant nightlife, this spot ensures a memorable stay.
Familiarise yourself with local customs as they are very important in Dubai. Always greet with a polite "Salaam" and handle currency in dirhams. Credit cards are widely accepted, but it’s handy to keep cash for taxis or small purchases in the souks.
