Many people are wondering when to go to Dubai, and that's a pertinent question. It would be a shame not to be able to enjoy it because of the heat. Ideally I recommend you to go there between November and April where the temperatures will stay between 20 and 30 degrees in general.

When did Expo 2020 Dubai take place?

Expo 2020 opened its doors for six months, from October 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022, on the theme "Connecting Minds, Building the Future." It is now the venue for festivals and other events.

How do I get around Dubai?

Walking is easy in the same neighbourhood. But as soon as you want to get out, you will have to choose a means of transport. Dubai offers different ones to suit your budget. The most economical will be the subway. A trip costs between 4 and 8 AEDs and day passes are available. It's up to you to assess whether the cost will be recovered. Once out of the metro, you may have a long walk to make before reaching your goal. On average, count less than 30 AEDs for a 10-minute taxi ride. Taxis are the most common means of transport in Dubai, as are Uber and Careem (the local Uber). Download the applications for the latter two. Make a request on Uber, for example, to get an idea of how much your trip would cost, then see if a cab would be cheaper. In cabs, make sure the driver always starts his meter. Finally, renting a car is possible and may be the solution if you have a lot of trips planned, are several or with children. Parking is free and everywhere, and petrol is cheap. You just have to be careful with the driving of the locals who sometimes drive fast and can cut the road. Have your international permit with you.

How to dress in Dubai?

When you visit the UAE, it is important to observe certain rules regarding dress code. In public places, it is recommended to wear respectful clothing, especially covering shoulders and knees for women. It would be best if you carried a scarf in your bag; it will always help you. If you visit a mosque, your outfit should be respectful, not tight or transparent. Women will have to cover their hair and body from head to toe.
