Navigate the city of gold like a pro. From transport to etiquette, here is everything you need to know.
Dubai is a city of superlatives—fastest, tallest, largest. But beneath the glitz, it is a well-oiled machine that is incredibly tourist-friendly, safe, and diverse.
Pro Tip: Download the "Careem" app for taxis and food delivery, and "S'hail" to plan your public transport journeys.
The Dubai Metro is world-class, fully automated, and cheap. In 2026, the Blue Line expansion connects even more key areas. For door-to-door convenience, Careem and Uber are widely available. Taxis are safe, metered, and accept credit cards.
November to March is peak season with perfect beach weather (25°C). The summer months (June-August) are extremely hot (40°C+), but hotel rates drop significantly, and the city comes alive at night. Indoor attractions make summer visits viable.
Dubai is cosmopolitan but rooted in Islamic tradition. Dress modestly in public spaces like malls and souks (cover shoulders and knees). Swimwear is strictly for the beach or pool. Public displays of affection should be minimal.
The currency is the UAE Dirham (AED). Cards are accepted almost everywhere, including taxis. For mobile data, pick up a free tourist SIM from Du or Etisalat at Dubai International Airport immigration.
