Dubai, one of the leading tourist destinations in the world has opened up for tourists since July. People who wish to visit the country however need to follow the stringent protocols that have been set by the government. The things to do before your Dubai tours are:
- Every traveller to Dubai must download an app known as the Covid-19 DXB app and register on it. They should also diligently fill in the details that are requested on the app.
- The authorities need every visitor to fill a health declaration form and they should also bring valid health insurance too.
- Travellers to Dubai need to get a Polymerase Chain Reaction test also known as the PCR test at least 4 days before they commence the travel. The test results should be carried in original. If the test results are not carried by a traveller the local authorities will conduct the test and quarantine you for 14 days.
- In the city you should wear a mask always when you are at public places.
- Every person should adhere to the two metre rule and maintain the social distance.
- Always sit in the back seat while riding in taxis.
- Maintain cleanliness at all times.
Though the guidelines may be stringent, if you follow them you will surely enjoy Dubai Tours. The best places to visit while on Dubai tours are given below:
Burj Khalifa:
The tallest building in the world is naturally going to be the prime attraction. You can view the building from anywhere in the city as it towers into the sky. We must congratulate the creators of the building for first envisaging something as wonderful as Burj Khalifa in the middle of a desert. And bringing the idea into fruition must have been a mammoth task. We need to understand that the work and sweat of multiple people made such a task possible and we need to tip our hat for that. The best part about Burj Khalifa is the observation deck. The decks are on the 124th floor as well as the 148th floor. You can view the city from this vantage point and just marvel. I forgot to mention that it takes under one minute to travel to the viewing decks in the high speed elevator. The elevator ride is itself worth it.
Dubai Museum and Al Bastakiya Quarter:
Dubai is not just modern buildings, it has a wonderful past and a rich cultural heritage and Al Bastakiya is the place to head to, to discover it. The old buildings with their architecture are a tourist’s delight. While you are in old Dubai you should visit the Dubai Museum which is in the Al Fahidi Fort and understand the culture of the city.
The Dubai Mall:
The Dubai Mall is a very huge mall with over 1000 retailers. You can shop till you drop and the mall is not just about shopping, there are other attractions like the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, the VR Park etc. There are many amazing dining opportunities with some of the best restaurants housed here. Another major attraction at the Dubai Mall is the Dubai Fountain. People from all walks of life descend to the Dubai Fountain to watch the choreographed fountain shows. When you see water dancing, it is really a sight to behold and the best part is the show is free.
Burj Al Arab:
Burj Al Arab is considered to be the only 7 star hotel in the world, though some dispute this claim. Even if there are other 7 star hotels in the world, it does not matter because the beauty of the sail shaped building is there for all to see. If you can afford a stay, then nothing like it. If you cannot, then you can take pictures or selfies with the wonderful building.
Desert Safari:
A visit to Dubai without going on a desert safari is incomplete. It is an experience which you will never forget. There are many desert safari options available such as morning safaris, evening safaris and even overnight safaris. You can try sports such as dune surfing, camel riding etc. In the evenings you can watch belly dances and other shows too. It is a trip which the whole family will enjoy.
