1. Dubai travel time

When it comes to Dubai, it does not mean that the rich are luxurious or hot.

It was early November when I went there, which is considered the peak tourist season in Dubai. At that time, going to Dubai was basically to avoid the cold. The temperature is around 20-30, which can feel a bit hot in a desert area.

If you go there from June to August, the temperature will be higher. At this time you can choose indoor or water world. If you go to the desert, it will be more comfortable to wait for the sun to set.

However, whenever you go to Dubai, it is recommended to bring a jacket with you and the culottes should not be too short. After all, it can block the sun and protect yourself from harm, and at the same time, it can keep you warm and prevent the air conditioning temperature inside from being too low. And, after all, this is a country full of Arabs.

During Eid al-Fitr in June, do as the Romans do when you are in your hometown. Although the temperature is high, wear whatever you need to wear and don't do anything you shouldn't do. If the weather is bad, stay indoors. The sun outside is too strong. After all, there is an aquarium, ski resort, and amusement park in the mall, and you can enjoy it for several days.

The time difference between the current location of Dubai and Beijing is 4 hours.

Dubai is located in the time zone of East Fourth District. It will be at 7 pm on December 21, 2021, Dubai time. There is no daylight saving time in Dubai.

Beijing is located in the time zone of East Eighth District. It will be at 11 am on December 21, 2021, Beijing time. Evening clock.

The time difference between Dubai and Beijing is four hours, and Dubai is four hours behind Beijing.

The best time to travel to Dubai is from October to March of the following year. During this period, the climate is suitable and the sunshine is warm, making it a prime time for tourists to fully appreciate the local customs and customs.

Today I have sorted out the items you need to bring and the things you need to pay attention to when entering Dubai for the first time, and eliminate all your blind spots.

What to bring?

Passport: Starting from November 1, 2016, citizens of the People's Republic of China (China) can enter the UAE with an ordinary Chinese passport valid for at least six months without applying for a visa in advance. No fees are charged and the stay is limited to 30 days. So, just bring your passport and go to the visa-free lane at the airport immigration department to queue up for stamping. It's very easy and quick. Before departure be sure to check that your passport is valid for at least six months.

Clothing: Light summer clothes can be worn all year round in Dubai, but you will need a spare jacket in winter. Long-sleeved clothing is most practical. When the indoor air conditioner is turned on very loudly, it can prevent colds and air conditioning.

There are many large water parks in Dubai. If you want to go, remember to bring a swimsuit. If you want to experience hot air ballooning, sand washing and other projects in the desert, don’t forget you. d. It is best to bring a scarf, it can protect you from the wind and sand, and it is also a great tool for taking photos!

When entering formal occasions (such as Burj Al Arab), it is best not to wear slippers, shorts, skirts, sleeveless tops, etc. And wear formal attire when packing your luggage.

Cash: When traveling to Dubai, you can bring a small amount of dirhams and US dollars, which are easy to use in traditional markets and taxis. Once you arrive in Dubai, you can find currency exchange centers at the airport and shopping malls.

The latest reference exchange rate is 100 yuan = 53 dirhams, and 1 US dollar = 3.7 dirhams.

Because most shopping places in Dubai accept credit cards, it is very convenient to bring a card.

Plug: The socket in Dubai is different from that in China. It is a British three-hole socket. Domestic plugs cannot be used directly and require a plug converter. Hotel front desks are generally equipped, but the number is limited. It is recommended to purchase British standard plug converters in large domestic supermarkets and online electronics stores in advance.

Internet access: If you like to check Moments when traveling, of course you need to know how to access the Internet in Dubai. The following three methods must be marked!

1. Free WiFi connection: Connect to public WiFi at Dubai International Airport, smart palm trees on Dubai Beach, and major shopping malls.

3. Mobile WiFi: It can be purchased at the airport counter for about 35 yuan/day.

What should I pay attention to?

Time difference: Dubai is 4 hours behind Beijing.

Language: The official language of Dubai is Arabic, but English is also widely spoken. However, the tourism industry in Dubai is very developed and mature. Almost all attractions and hotels have English signs. There are many Chinese waiters and Chinese shopping guides in the Mall of the Emirates. Therefore, when Chinese tourists come to Dubai, they only need to master a few simple English words and they will be able to travel smoothly.

Food: Dubai is an international city that well tolerates Eastern and Western cultures. There are both private restaurants opened by international Michelin chefs and authentic local cuisine. Of course, for Chinese tourists, don’t forget that they can taste many Chinese flavors, such as Yuan’s restaurant in Atlantis, P Fuchang in the Mall of the Emirates, and so on. The diverse food culture allows everyone to find a dish that suits them.

Clothing: Compared with other Middle Eastern regions, Dubai is more internationalized, so the requirements for clothing are more relaxed, but tourists should try not to wear revealing clothes in public places.

Special reminder about Ramadan

During Ramadan, people reflect on themselves and devote themselves to God. For practitioners, during Ramadan, they spend more time praying and spending time with their loved ones. Islam believes that fasting can purify people and make them noble and kind, allowing the rich to experience the hunger of the poor. It is a way to purify the body and soul, remove impurities, and make people more focused on worship, atonement, and gratitude.

If you travel to Dubai during Ramadan, you need to pay special attention to the following information:

1. During Ramadan, the business hours of some shopping malls and attractions will change. Restaurants in most shopping malls will be open from 4 pm until late at night, while some shopping malls and hotels will take care of non-Muslim guests and arrange for some restaurants to be open. It is recommended that you check the official website before traveling.

2. Dressing during Ramadan requires special attention. In public situations, you should wear loose-fitting clothes that cover your shoulders and knees.

3. During Ramadan, Muslims will fast after sunrise and before sunset. To show respect, remember not to eat or drink in public. Smoking is not allowed in public places during the day. However, some restaurants are also open during the day and have hidden dining areas for guests who don't feel like it. Don't go too fast.

:What is the weather like in Dubai during the Spring Festival in 2010? Is it suitable to play?

Actually, this question is a good question! Nowadays, work and life in China are too stressful and I have no time to play, so if you want to go to Dubai during the Spring Festival, this is the right time!

During the Spring Festival, the lowest temperature in the northern hemisphere is in the Middle East, which is also the peak tourist season in the Middle East!

Take a trip on an ancient wooden boat and enjoy a panoramic view of the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, which is unique!

Viewed from the air, the trunks of the palm trees are extremely beautiful and are also known as Palm Islands.

Going to Dubai during the Spring Festival is a good choice. The climate is very warm and pleasant, allowing you to experience the charm of this desert city.

The above is my personal list of must-see attractions for tourists in Dubai. In fact, there are other places on the market that appeal to me. You can search it on Baidu.

3. Best time to travel to Dubai

To go to Dubai in 2022, you need to prepare the following documents:

1. Passport: must be valid for more than 6 months passport.

2. Materials required for visa application:

(1) Clear copy of passport (valid for more than six months, with my signature in the signature column of the passport).

(2) UAE visa form.

You need to enter the country within 60 days after the visa is issued, and you can stay in the country for 30 days. You do not need to extend your stay from the date of entry, and you must leave the country after expiration.

4. New Year Time in Dubai

Answer: Beijing, China is 4 hours ahead of Dubai (UAE). For example:

Dubai local time 17:42:32 on December 23, 2021 (Dubai belongs to the East Fourth District time zone)

Beijing local time on December 23, 2021 21:42 Minutes and 32 seconds (Beijing belongs to the East Eighth District time zone)

How to calculate the time difference: The time difference is obtained by subtracting the standard time (real-time time zone code) of the two time zones. The time zone with the larger value is earlier. For example, China is the eighth district (8) in the eastern United States and the fifth district (-5) in the west. The time difference between the two places is 13 hours, and Beijing is 13 hours ahead of New York. If it's U.S. Daylight Saving Time, the difference is 12 hours.

6. What time is it in Dubai

What you need to know before going to Dubai:

It can be hot and rarely rains. In fact, the weather can get quite warm in Dubai. There are two seasons: hell and spring. Hell lasts for 9 months, the other three days are cooler. If you don't come in the spring please be prepared. It can actually be very hot, even the minibus stations in Dubai are air-conditioned.

Dubai is not a cheap city as they can still survive in tourism. However, not everything is expensive. It depends on your plans and the experience you want. Some are free, like going to Jumeirah Beach, or at the Palm Island, or to the souks. Other attractions such as Dubai Museum and Dubai Miracle Garden are considered cheap or reasonable. For more unique experiences, like skydiving at The Palm, enjoying afternoon tea at a hotel, or taking a helicopter tour to Dubai, they'll definitely spend a little more. Dubai Metro is easily accessible. Taxis are everywhere. Food is not very cheap. Compared with fast food courts, it is more cost-effective.

This is not a very walkable city.

The subway system is used to connect various areas. Then again, I don't think you can walk anywhere from the hotel, unless you live near the Mall of the Emirates, which is where you want to be. To travel between tourist attractions, you need to take a train or a taxi.

Dubai American laws are very strict.

Despite its westernization, Dubai has retained conservative laws. Islamic law applies in the UAE. In Dubai, as a woman, you are advised to keep your shoulders, arms (with sleeves) and knees even if you are going to Mall of the Emirates or any other mall. Of course, some tourists wrote that while they didn't they didn't follow the dress code. Don't cause trouble. However, the truth is that you will see many Emirati ladies covered from head to toe, leaving only their eyes, hands and feet. No one expects you to keep disguising yourself as a tourist, but it's a way of being respectful. In other cities, you can do better.

In addition, Dubai has rules and regulations regarding drinking, drunk driving, drug-related crimes, harassment, public expressions of affection, premarital sex, offensive behavior (even unwillingness to give someone the middle finger), homosexuality, etc. Seen it before!

If you take the necessary precautions and don't be a self-proclaimed, rude and ignorant tourist, you'll probably be fine.

The Charming Side of Dubai

Dubai is beautiful and dramatic. Everything you see is created by humans. You can say the city is fake, but let's not forget all the work that goes into building each and every skyscraper. It's all built through hard work and labor. Contrary to what people think, Dubai does not remain a wealthy city because of oil. Currently, most of Dubai's American wealth comes from tourism, a strategic infrastructure that promotes economic development.

Dubai’s architectural features

Burj Khalifa

Dubai’s Burj Khalifa is currently the tallest building in the world and the most outstanding building in Dubai. It is 828 meters high. Even skyscrapers appear dwarfed when viewed from above. Look at those cars on the road, they look insignificant! Impressive Architecture

Have you ever seen a rotating building like this? Palm tree shaped island?

There is actually more than one Palm Island in Dubai, but the famous island must be the Palm Island, where the Atlantis Hotel is located. We drove to Isle of Palms, which to be honest you wouldn’t expect. Idon’t know you were on a palm island, although it’s beautiful. It still tracks the location of my offline map app just fine! This huge island means there are many beaches!

Skydiving over the Palm Islands? no problem. See the hotel from above by helicopter? Skiing at the Indoor Ski Park (Mall of the Emirates)? Or a skating rink in a mall (mall in the emirates)? Sneaking sharks in the giant aquarium at Mall of the Emirates? Dubai promises a lot of fun for everyone. Dubai Miracle Garden is an impressive installation of a huge garden. The Dubai Fountains (outside Mall of the Emirates) hosts a spectacular fountain show every evening.

As a traveler who longs to visit different places and experience different cultures, my answer is yes. (But I need to tell you, I only had about 2.5 days in Dubai as part of a trip to the UAE. As a travel blogger, Dubai also gave me a lot to write about. Because of this, I’m grateful to see it in person See Dubai. From an outsider's point of view, Dubai is definitely interesting! However, if I needed to take a short trip away from Singapore, Dubai would not be my first choice as they are both modern cities with a mix of different cultures. Yes, every city has its pros and cons. No matter where we go, we always respect other people's culture with an open mind.
