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.

Right Local Transportation in 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 in Dubai (Sunday to Thursday} Dubai weekend days are Friday and Saturday. This affects the time it takes by taxi getting from one location to the next. Traffic is much lighter on the weekends.

Taxis: 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.

Hop-On/Hop-Off Buses: This is a Better way to see Dubai and there are two options 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.

Dubai For Indians

 Indians in Dubai.

Dubai Holiday is Favorite International Holiday Destination of Indians, but Indian came  here to work in  UAE oilfield as a migrant labor And settled here. Life is very fast and competitive here as compared to India but overall it has been a great experience for Indians. When you arrive in Dubai, you will be amazed to see so many Indians working here and you will be amazed to most of them are talking in Hindi only. The place is mostly dominated by Malayali’s (Keralites), though you can see people from all the Indian states living and earning in Dubai. 

A glimpse of Indians in Dubai:

1.       Salaries- There is no Average salary as such in Dubai and it depends on your skills, experience, Competence and the number of years you have worked here. It also depends on the company you are working for. But talent does not go Unrewarded.

2.      Expenses- Dubai is not a very costly city compared to other big cities, you will see the best luxury and strolling to meet the needs of their families back home. The biggest expense in Dubai is House rent followed by traveling. You need to either spend AED on Exorbitant rent and take a place near the metro so that you don't have to spend on a car or you can save money on rent by taking a house in the outskirts but then you will have to spend on a car Fuels. Getting a driving license in Dubai is expensive and takes time.

3.      Savings – Savings is the most important part. Your savings depend on various factors. The salaries that we get here are tax-free in UAE and India; when remitted to India. Recently Dubai Imposed a 5% VAT, though. People here earn a decent salary but they still live paycheck to paycheck or they live on loan/ credit cards owing to their extravagant lifestyle. Some people who save 75–80 % of their salaries and have got decent investments back in India.

4.      Social Life – There are a lot of people of all states, caste, and Religion of India.  so you will have at least one Bengali, Malayali, Punjabi in your friend circle and you will have a mixed group of friends here and celebrate all the Indian Festivals together. Your friend circle also comprises people from Pakistan and the Philippines.

5.      Law and Order - Jugaad (hack) does not work, here when it comes to getting your work done in government offices, banks, etc. People respect and Obey the law and there is very little Chance Of Crime being committed. You need to be a bit cautious when you rent/buy properties, but all in all, Dubai is a safe place to live.

6.      Food- There are many good Indian restaurants serving delicacies of all the Indian States. You get authentic Veg/ Non-Veg Indian Street food. You can see many Indian supermarkets - Lulu, Al Adil, etc - to name a few.
