Is visiting Dubai a good idea?

 

If you have visited Dubai before, then the worst part of your journey must have been getting yourself away from the shopping sprees.

 

Dubai is the Shoppers Paradise. From the city’s historical records, it had always been a busy trading port because of the strategic geographic location it occupied.

 

This coupled with the discovery of crude oil in commercial quantities and pragmatic leadership has secured the city top spot on every shoppers list especially after you compare cheap flights prior to your departure.

 

Dubai, and in fact, the whole of the United Arab Emirates is officially an Islamic state.

 

Agreed, there is a large contingent of foreigners and the Emirates is very tolerant of their religious beliefs but there are still do’s and don’ts as regards religious activities.

 

The following should guide your words and actions during your stay in Dubai:

 

While in Dubai, you are not expected to speak words or distribute materials or pamphlets criticizing the teachings of Islam.

 

No one is allowed to drink or eat publicly during fasting hours in the holy month of Ramadan.

 

If you are a non-Muslim, you can eat in the privacy of your hotel room.

 

It is forbidden to criticize the governments of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates. The same

applies to the royal families.

 

It makes sense not to discuss issues concerning the Israeli state or seem to be promoting Israel.

 

Display of affection in the public is a punishable offence. Homosexuality, lesbianism, and extra-marital offences also carry punishments if caught.

 

Always take care when crossing roads because of automobiles moving at very high speeds. Rude gestures to other drivers when driving is a punishable offence.

 

Drug trafficking is a heavy offence and carries equally heavy sentences.

 

The issue with getting caught on the wrong side of the law is the ease with which people are deported without questions being asked.

 

Throughout my stay in Dubai, I have heard no reports of criminal activities but it pays to remain security conscious so as not to be caught unawares.

 

The word ‘shopping’ is synonymous with the city and combined with Cheapest Holidays Dubai, you are assured of the most cost effective shopping choices in the United Arab Emirates..

 

There are shopping malls available in numbers. Depending on what you are searching for, any of the following malls would do:

 

Deira City Centre: is one of Dubai’s largest shopping malls.

 

It has plenty of parking space and hosts stores run by outfits like IKEA, Woolworth’s, Virgin Megastores, Westwood, Cinestar Cinemas, and Toyota showrooms. Arab Job Search is a good place to look if you are looking for jobs in any of these malls.

 

Burjuman Centre: looking for clothes with designer tags like DKNY, Guess, Calvin Klein, or a fast food outlet to grab a bite, then your bet should be on the Burjuman Centre.

 

Mercato: The good life. That is what you get when you visit the Mediterranean-styled Mercato Mall in Jumeira.

 

Lamcy Plaza: opened over a decade ago, it houses a hypermarket, the Lamcy Cinema, and over 150 retail stores operated by Next, Guess, Peacocks, Bhs, Plug-ins, and a number of others.

 

If you are tech savvy and have an Iphone or ipod then you can even download your latest favorite tracks from topfreemusicdownloadsite.com

 

Wafi Mall: is located at the Wafi City Complex. It is one of the top-rated shopping malls in Dubai. Opened less than a decade ago, it has plenty of parking space and over 200 stores and restaurants.

 

The Encounter Zone, an entertainment centre is located here. It has stores run by Versace, Marks & Spencer, Mont Blanc, and Paris Gallery.

 

Like I said at the start, the only bad idea about visiting Dubai is probably jumping off the shopping train. On second thoughts, is that really a bad idea?

 

If  Dubai is not really the thing that you are looking for then try cheap flights to zurich, because change happens and you never know if Switzerland has what you have been missing in Dubai!
