About Dubai—An Introduction
Dubai is part of the 'Seven
Emirates' forming the whole of the United Arab Emirates. Dubai furthermore is a
thickly populated and financially dynamic emirate of the nation. As an emerging
worldwide city, Dubai's principle wellspring of economic activities include:
tourism, aviation, banking & finance. Shockingly, Dubai does not get a
large part of its riches from oil industries.
Getting to Dubai
Cebu Pacific and Philippine
Airlines fly visitors from Manila to Dubai without stoppage --onboard the
Airbus A330 armada. Manila to Dubai is very nearly Ten Hours journey.
Visa To Dubai
Filipinos primarily need
just a Tourist Entry Permit preceding entry. A Dubai Visit Visa can be acquired
through the assistance of a professional
Dubai Travel Agent Altdubai, without a bother. Just a passport is mandatory document that's
required, yet you have to book no less than two-nights of Hotel Rooms with
them. Usually, travel companies have Dubai Packages which includes visa and
hotel stay.
Recommended Dubai Itinerary
for Solo Travelers
Those on a short excursion to the city
--the world's most costly urban areas, I am proposing a well-made Dubai
Itinerary for those who haven't traveled here before; and which I did myself a
couple years back in Dec. 2013. This is my proposed Dubai Itinerary for those
travelling solo.
Day One
As Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines
flight touch base at night, leave Day One to "adapt" yourself. Have a
decent rest. Haha.
Day Two
‘Dubai City Outing’ making use of the
Red Line of Dubai Metro Train
Put Hop-On Hop-Off Bus out-of-your-mind
for this time. Rather explore the city onboard the safe and comfortable Dubai
Metro Train and we begin with Dubai's concrete jungle!
IBN Battuta Mall
It is one of the most stunning malls I
have experienced. IBN is easily the world's biggest themed galleria with an
aggregate space of Five hundred-twenty thousand sq. meters, extra twenty-eight
thousand sq. meters scaling up is on the cards. IBN Battuta Mall includes
SIX courts inspired by a few nations --Egypt Court, India, & China Court,
being the main names; apart from, my top choice in view of its grandeur –
Persia Court.
And never miss the beautiful Gardens and
Discovery Gardens, Lost City and Jebel Village. The places are just at the back
of IBN.Make to the mall by boarding Dubai Metro
Train Red Line --disembarking at IBN Battuta Station. Additionally in this
station bus service to Abu Dahbi can be availed.
Dubai Marina
Dubai Marina the man-made canal city
flaunts the earth's tallest cluster of super high-rises. Princess Tower – at
present the tallest of all residential establishments on earth is additionally
located in Dubai Marina. Be that as it may, Pentominium Tower, when completed,
would uncrown Princess Tower. Treat yourself to tall buildings and presuming
that you can spare some hours and bit of extra money to spend, tuck-into the
varied cuisines at numerous eateries around the place. When I am here I am reminded
of Singapore.Getting to Dubai Marina can be the most
comfortable ride; hop on the Metro Red Line---disembarking at Dubai Marina
Station.

The Palm Jumriah
It is an artificial Atoll designed to
look like a palm tree. I have often longed for personally visiting The Palm. I
was specially inspired by the place's architectural and engineering marvels.
The photographs, & videos surely depict a beautiful picture of The Palm. For
getting here you must get-off at Nakheel Station. Those who are the adventurous
kind may simply stroll from Dubai Marina to The Palm. I did it!
Mall of The Emirates
It is another immense shopping arcade.
Duabi is a hot-spot of shopping aficionados. To make it to the mall get on the
Dubai Metro Redline –getting off at the Mall of the Emirates station.
Burj Al Arab
It is the most recognizable landmark of
the city. It is built on top of an artificial island in Jumeriah Beach. The open
shoreline close to it offers amazing views of Burj Al Arab! A bus or taxi ride
takes you to the luxury 7-star hotel.
Burj Khalifa & Dubai
Mall
Easily the tallest structure in the
world its design mirrors the winding minaret at the Great Mosque of Sammara (a
famous Iraqi mosque). The same as a childhood dream, watching the skyscraper
'in the flesh' evoke nostalgia.
Day Three
Dubai Desert Safari
In case you haven’t got a 4x4 SUV to
drive around the city, so you need to engage a Dubai travel agent for
completing the tour. Pick from Morning Safari, Afternoon Safari, & Overnight
Desert Safari. The afternoon safari can be the most thrilling adventure. I did
it. It begins at 4PM and carries on till 9PM. Watch out for some exciting dune
bashing, and look forward to belly dancing shows as the main attractions.
Day Four
Do
Day 2 Over again!
Be that as it may, this time around,
shop and eat like an Emirati! On the other hand you could have a taste of some
outdoor activities before flying out of the city.
On the other hand you may choose to see
Gold Souk and Spice Souk.
