Planning your next big solo travel adventure? Here are some reasons why Dubai should be on top of your list for an unforgettable getaway.
Safety & Hospitality
Dubai is a safe destination even at night and a place you can meet with fellow travellers from around the world; keep in mind you should dress conservatively in public. You can also experience genuine hospitality when staying at properties like Avani Deira Dubai Hotel along with personalised service which makes a big difference too.
Plenty of Things to Do
There’s truly something for everyone, from taking in stunning views at Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building to embarking on exciting desert safaris. Those based at hotels in Deira, Dubai, can easily visit the Gold and Spice souks and take a dhow cruise; one can also enjoy beachside fun at La Mer, explore the historical Bastakiya quarter and shop at Dubai Mall, the largest mall on the planet!
Easy to Use Transport
For solo travellers, getting around won’t be an issue either. Some hotels offer free shuttle services, while you can buy the Dubai City Pass and visit key attractions via the Hop-on Hop-off Bus. There’s also well-connected public transport be it metro, bus (including water buses), tram or monorail, while taxis are readily available too.
Diverse Dining Scene
A highlight of any holiday will be sampling local cuisine and Dubai will not disappoint. There’s an eclectic array of dishes on offer ranging from Middle Eastern fare to Asian and western favourites. Don’t miss savouring shawarma, margoogat (a type of stew), machboos (similar to biryani), luqaimat (sweet dumplings) and even camel meat!
