Taxi in Dubai Dubai is one of the most popular holiday destinations among Britons. As per Foreign and Commonwealth Office, “over a million British visitors travel to the UAE every year and more than 100,000 British nationals are resident there”. Female tourists travelling to Dubai is very common. While it can be said that most visits of foreigners to Dubai are trouble free, one must remain heedful of essential tips to score unruffled holidays here. Particularly, women travelling alone must not let their guard down.
The city is largely safe for solo women visitors yet they have little more to consider than just booking cheap flights to this emirate of UAE.
For solo women arriving on flights to this beautiful city of UAE, Dubai offers a diverse range of hotels that suit everyone’s pocket and preferences. Solo women travellers must ensure that they have a confirmed hotel booking before arriving in Dubai. In fact, it’s sensible to book a package deal including flights and hotels. Doing this would not only save you money, but you will not have to be on the lookout for an accommodation as soon as you disembark your flights in the emirate. Like any other destinations in the world, Dubai also cannot be said to be completely free of touts waiting to make some quick bucks; and what better opportunity for them to accomplish this than an uninitiated foreign traveller landing on flights to Dubai with no place to stay!
Do not simply book a hotel because it is cheap; aside from low standard of services and facilities, you may not be hundred percent sure of your safety; particularly in case you need help. If you want to save money, save it on flights and other activities; and when it comes to hotel, safety and privacy should be your first priority.
Dubai is dotted with numerous pocket friendly yet popular hotels which are safe and provide brilliant hospitality to the guests, especially the females who are travelling alone.
Being an Islamic country, female travellers boarding Dubai bound UAE flights should take care of the local customs and dress code. Women should not wear revealing outfits that expose shoulders or thighs. But if swimming in pool or sunbathing on a beach in a bikini is what you desire then it’s recommended that you book yourself in a beach resort that has a pool and a private beach stretch. United Arab Emirates uphold their rich heritage, traditions and customs, and conservatism that works in the favour of its people as much as it embodies modernity and innovation that feature in its most ultra-modern precincts, tallest skyline, most luxurious hotels, swanky restaurants, glittering souks and malls and much more.
If you come across staring eyes don’t get on the defensive side or get frightened. Men in the UAE, as a symbol of respect, usually do not address foreign women directly; they may simply be looking at you constantly out of sheer curiosity and may mean no rudeness or harm.
Although travelling alone is safe in Dubai, solo women travellers should avoid venturing out alone in the dark; avoid getting too friendly with the strangers.
When in Dubai, try to travel by Pink Taxis which are especially for women and driven by female drivers. Drinking and smoking are not allowed in public places. If you want to drink it’s better to drop in any reputed pub, but do not accept alcoholic beverages from strangers.
Before boarding flights pack all important girly stuffs, medical kit and note down important phone numbers. Be confident and enjoy your Dubai trip!
