Essential Things To Know Before You Book Your Dubai Tour Package

Having introduced the new visa on arrival policy for Indian passport holders, Dubai is now going to bloom a lot more than earlier in terms of tourism. This policy, needless to say, has created a spark among Indians, as it is now easier to get their Dubai vacation dream come true. 

But, before you book your Dubai tour package, here are some crucial things you need to know in advance- right from how to reach to the tourist attractions:

By air: If you’re traveling from a different country and have a time constraint, by air is the best option for you. Dubai International Airport is world’s busiest airport, connected to 100 destinations across the world. 

Emirates Airlines, Etihad, and FlyDubai are among major airlines that operate flight to this destination. 

By bus: This is a suggested option for those taking a tour of the Emirates. Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Masafi, and Dubai are connected with each other through frequent bus service. 

By road: Dubai can be entered through Oman. Though there is no permit required for entering, but a fee of  3000 Omani Rial is applicable. If you wish to re-enter Oman, keep your receipt safe with you as it will be required.

Being an otherwise hot city, the best time to visit Dubai is between November and February. During this period, the weather stays pleasant which allows easy indulgence in sightseeing and activities. 

The much awaited Dubai Shopping Festival is held in January, and is highly recommended for shopaholics. Owing to its short tourist season, you’ll find comparatively higher fares and tariffs during winter season, especially during new years. So, it's recommended to book Dubai tour packages well in advance to save money.

Talking of things to do in Dubai, you’ll be spoiled for choice. This is a leading destination when it comes to skydiving, bungee jumping and dune bashing. If you’re looking for light activities you can indulge in water activities like banana boat ride and parasailing. Ironically, even though this is hot city, you can try your hands on ice skating and skiing as well. 

Party animals get to enjoy a nightlife like never before. Some other activities you can look forward are desert camping, helicopter ride, and shopping.

There are many iconic landmarks in Dubai that are found in the bucket list of avid travelers. Some of the best places to visit in Dubai are - Burj Khalifa (tallest building in the world), Mall of the Emirates (one of world’s largest malls), Palm Jumeirah (man made an island in shape of palm tree), and Burj Al Arab (among world’s most luxurious hotels).
