Dubai hotels and shops are known to be the most sumptuous and luxurious in the world. Although recently went bankrupt, the state of Dubai is still considered one of the few paradises in the world with rich and opulent lifestyles of monuments. But paradise has a dark side.
Here are some things you should know before going to Dubai.
1. Prepare for extreme conditions. Plan your trip to Dubai during the winter months, if you’ve never dealt with the heat and humidity extremes. From March to October the temperatures can vary 30-60 degrees Celsius (86-140 Fahrenheit). Drink plenty of water, wear long sleeves and long pants, and sunscreen.
2. No public displays of affection.Strange as it may seem, if you go with your soul mate try not to get caught in public places, if you do not want to explain your actions to the police station. Quick kisses and holding hands are allowed, but keep in mind that you are in a Muslim country and the laws are stricter.
3. Try to avoid driving. The UAE has the highest rate of road fatalities per capita in the world. There is an accident once every two minutes and one person dies every day. Especially during Ramadan, because of sugar in the blood of its inhabitants, the accident rate in Dubai has increased by 200%.
4. Be sure to book a hotel near a construction site. Request information on the hotel before booking. Wherever there are skyscrapers under construction in Dubai and there is no interruption in work. Therefore, expect construction noise 24 hours. A large number of options is the Hotel Dubai at the Club Hotel.
5. Watch for snakes swimming in the sea are at least seven known species of sea snakes in the Persian Gulf. They are generally not aggressive, but only bite if provoked. Encounters with snakes are rare, but if this happens and you are injured, call an ambulance immediately.
