Traveling to the Middle East is truly an adventure and the sleek and high-tech city of Dubai with its lush beaches and top-of-the-line facilities is like a beacon for visitors from around the world. However, a trip to Dubai takes a little planning to allow you to enjoy everything you have in mind once you get there. Considering what type of trip you’d like, where you want to stay, and what activities are best suited for you helps narrow down the many possibilities.

What Kind of Trip Is Best for You?
Dubai has a lot going for it: It’s the heart of luxury in the United Arab Emirates, a thriving business hub, an up-and coming destination for adventure seekers, an excellent starting point for a desert adventure, and a perfect getaway for a beach holiday. Depending on what you want, you can choose when to travel and where to stay.
If you want lively night-time parties, traveling to Dubai in the off-season isn’t the best option. If you want to visit all the tourist attractions in the heart of the city, staying in Bur Dubai, the historic district, is a great choice. If you want a little pampering to go with your sightseeing, the Arabian Courtyard Hotel & Spa is a smart bet. If you want a beach holiday, a hotel with its own private beach and scenic outdoor pool might be just what you need. Whatever you decide, there are enough hotels in Dubai to accommodate each and every traveler.
What Kind of Traveler Are You?
Dubai offers everything from winter sports in the world’s largest indoor snow park to adrenaline-junkie activities. You can stay within the city and take a leisurely tour, or opt for a trip to the desert to drive through the dunes and explore the oases.

Dubai is a very safe destination and women travelers are welcome, but it’s always advisable to travel in groups. Disabled travelers will find Dubai more than welcoming. High-end hotels have specially adapted rooms, and the airport and malls are also quite accessible. Dubai’s Transport Taxis accommodate wheelchairs.
Families exploring the city will find it quite appealing. There are tons of activities to keep your kids entertained. If you want to enjoy a night out with your significant other, bear in mind that most hotels provide babysitting services.
Tips for Sticking to Your Budget
Dubai might not be the most inexpensive travel option, but there are many ways to save, such as traveling off-season. Using the metro instead of a taxi will help you save even more. Get a Nol card to make transportation easier, and if you want a touch of luxury during your stay, go VIP and enjoy free Wi-Fi. Hunt for free attractions, such as the daily tours of the Jumeirah Mosque, and you should be ready to go!
