If you are definitely going to do theme parks when there, i would get the entertainer app .
although Ferrari world used to be in the Dubai version too, it looks like its only the abu dhabi one now, so you would need to buy UAE Bundle 2021 which covers both Dubai and Abu Dhabi *AED 414.75 including VAT. That would save you more than it costs assuming all 4 of you are going to the park. You then have the bonus of all the other 2 for 1s the app offers. You do need wifi or data to use the app though. Data is really expensive, but malls, theme parks , hotels offer free wifi . you could always ask the restaurant or where ever you are using it to let you use there wifi to use the app, they are usually quite good.

We used the metro a lot when we went - very clean and easy to use!
I did a trip report - https://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/sho...2#post12401832 Hope that gives you some ideas of other things to do!

Thank you, just read the trip report. Did you book the excursions in advance or via the hotel on arrival? We would like to do a dessert safari and some sort of boat trip around the Dubai sights bust don’t know if it’s best to pre-book? I’d prefer not to as you can pick and choose what you feel like doing when you are there. With regards to the metro, how do you pay? I think I read you have to buy some sort of card in advance?

I read somewhere that men are expected to wear long trousers and closed toe shoes in restaurants at night, would the same apply to my 15 year old son? He’s more of a chino shorts kind of boy!

I always get mine from the bank or M & S currency booth before I go – you get a better exchange rate.
Although I have never got a taxi from the airport. I’ve always had an Airline or hotel car. Check whether your hotel will collect you as a lot of them do it as part of the package Edited at 06:48 PM. |
