Around The World At The Dubai Food Festival
Tumblr media
Dubai is a diverse country with over 200 different nationalities and if you want to sample some of these, make sure to head to Dubai during the Dubai Food Festival for culinary trip around the world. Dubai is part of the UAE, a federation of 7 emirates that united to become the UAE in 1971. It includes the capital Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al-Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm al-Qaiwain. Winter in Dubai is peak season with temperatures in the mid 20's (as opposed to 45C and above during summer). And every year in March it plays host to its very own Dubai Food Festival!
Tumblr media
The Dubai Food Festival is held at Jumeirah Beach behind Sunset Mall to take a walk around the Beach Canteen. There's a mix of people, some in traditional abaya (for women) and thawb (for men) and the mix is international with many enjoying the cool beachside breeze and the blood red moon rising in the distance.
Tumblr media
The Beach Canteen stands are located in two adjacent clusters and there is a lot of variety. Want tacos, baos or brisket? How about fried chicken in a waffle cone? We first do a quick survey of the space deciding on what we want to come back to order. It's not easy to choose and we've only got so much stomach space (we are headed to dinner shortly afterwards).
Tumblr media
But first there's a commotion in front of the Maiz taco truck. At 5pm every day they have the "Paqui one chip challenge". We watch as people open up a red coffin shaped box and unwrap a red foil packet containing a single corn chip. What is special about this chip is that it is dusted in the Carolina Reaper chilli dust.
Tumblr media
People take a deep breath, crunch on it and swallow before reaching desperately for a bottle of milk. We have no choice but to buy one ourselves (although I'm not game to try it while I am here because we are yet to sample so much food). At 50 dirhams it isn't cheap but it is hard to find these chips. We do try the Maiz churros ice cream sandwich drizzled with lotus caramel and ice cream. The churro top is crunchy even with the ice cream and sauce and it's fantastic.
Tumblr media
Next door is the Zapiekanka truck. So what is a zapiekanka? It's a traditional Polish street food, a halved baguette topped with a range of items from a tomato based marinara to bechamel or smokey one. They're very friendly here and we order some pierogi dumplings as well as the smoky Zapiekanka. We also try some of their borscht.
Tumblr media
Zapiekanka's owner Olimpia is super friendly and explains that their borscht contains probiotics for added health benefits. It's delicious and flavoursome. I've only really had Russian borscht which is mildly sweet and creamy and cold. This is a bold soup served warm with an abundance of flavour. The pierogi are comfortingly good and served with sour cream.
Tumblr media
Olimpia loans me a traditional scarf for a photo and after the obligatory classic shot holding a zapiekanka (head back, mouth open, zapiekanka ready to be eaten) we sink our teeth into the crunchy sub. On top is bechamel, sauteed mushrooms, cheese, house smoked chicken and spring onions and it's pretty damn fabulous. We find it hard to stop at three bites no matter how hard we try.
Tumblr media
Olimpia asks if we can stay for a slice of her apple pie. Sure! It's a rectangular slice, not too sweet and served with vanilla cream sauce.
Tumblr media
We all have tokens so someone else buys from fried chicken baos from Take a Bao. With a soft, downy bao and crispy, crunchy fried chicken, a piquant, creamy mayonnaise and shredded lettuce they're bigger than most baos and generously filled.
Tumblr media
This just makes us hungry to try more. We cross the path to the other cluster of food trucks. There is so much choice that tempts us from a distance and we stop at the New York based Chick N Cone debuting at the festival. It is, as the name suggests, fried chicken in a waffle cone stand where they are busy pressing fresh waffles and shaping them into a cone. When we dither about the choice of sauce they offer to give us samples of both with the chicken. We try the chicken with both the ranch and bbq sauces and it's delicious-crunchy and saucy at the same time.
Tumblr media
This only whets our appetite further for the Jamaican jerk chicken which is smoky and gorgeous with a fantastic jerk seasoning on top. The corn cob is curious-covered in a sticky caramel, it leaves me confused. While I loved the chicken I wasn't a huge fan of the corn.
Tumblr media
Then it's time for sweets. The knafeh is a stretchy cheesy number that they cut off from a huge knafeh pan drawing enormous foot long strings of cheese.
Tumblr media
Another popular stand is the Inventing Room. Everyone exiting with their goodies emerges from a cloud of dry ice. There is a crisp waffle "taco" filled with nitrogen ice cream sprinkled in cookie crumbs like a deep fried ice cream. On top are squiggles of frozen Nutella. Heaven.
Tumblr media
We are sharing a table with another couple and notice their Dough donuts. "Please have one," they say offering us their boxes of donuts. We can't resist their kind offer and the pistachio icing donut is wonderful-it's so light in texture and freshly fried that despite the fact that we are off to dinner I can't help but take another bite. We look at the time and it's time to bid the Beach Canteen goodbye.
Tumblr media
Dinner is back in downtown Dubai. We walk through the labyrinthine faux Souk Madinat Jumeirah to get to Folly by Nick and Scott. Nick Alvis and Scott Price are two British chefs who worked with Gordon Ramsay for 15 years in London, Paris and Dubai before branching out on their own.
Tumblr media
Whilst there is an indoor section, the perfect weather means that most guests are sitting outside enjoying the perfect night. There are two floors and the upper level bar is well worth having a look at for the views of the 7 star Burj al Arab hotel and all the water activity below at the Madinat waterways.
Tumblr media
Folly have a special menu just for Dubai Food Week with three courses for 199AED which equates to around $70AUD. We start with an interesting item: jasmine rice with Marmite and courgette. It's unusual and I'm not sure if I would order it again and it comes in quite a large serve. A canape sized version would have been perfect just for a taste.
Tumblr media
The fried bread with sage, onion and spelt and caramelised onion is divine. "It tastes like Christmas" says my sometime vegetarian friend Laura. And it does indeed. Although you'd expect fried bread to be a bit greasy it isn't in the slightest bit so.
Tumblr media
I also love the main of lamb with two perfectly cooked medallions of lamb saddle. The long pine nut salad and whipped pine nut cream are also delicious and I could just eat an entire bowl of this.
Tumblr media
For dessert we enjoy the chocolate, hazelnut and malt with the bottom layer of malt cream. The chocolate is dark and fruity and the toasted hazelnuts give it a nice crunch.
Tumblr media
Our home for the next two nights in Dubai is the Renaissance Downtown hotel located in downtown Dubai. It's a stylish new hotel that opened in November 2017 and even the entry level rooms are plush, well appointed and spacious.
Tumblr media
I have a deluxe room #911. On the left when I walk in there is a spacious walk in wardrobe. The bathroom follows this and there's a separate shower with gold flecked tiles and two shower heads.
Tumblr media
There's also a free standing egg shaped bath and double sinks with Amouage toiletries. Wooden sliding doors partition off the bathroom from two sides and the toilet and bidet are in a separate room.
Tumblr media
The bedroom is also roomy with a comfortable king sized bed with excellent sheets and a good variety of pillows. The camel motif is one carried throughout the hotel with a large wall print as well as an above the bed art work.
Tumblr media
An enormous work desk is placed below the television built into the mirror opposite the bed. Some rooms like this one has a little alcove built into them where there's a lounge and cushions that affords you a view of the water below.
Tumblr media
The hotel also has a French restaurant Bleu Blanc with chef patron David Myers. The theme as you enter from the outside blue door is French provincial although the menu isn't particularly French and covers steak and seafood offerings. Service is serious and not overly friendly.
Tumblr media
Sturia Caviar Flatbread AED65/$23AUD
The caviar flatbread comes as two thin pieces of crisp cracker topped with Sturia caviar and creme fraiche. And because we are sharing them they give us a small sword to cut them.
Tumblr media
Maine Lobster roll AED70 for two/$25AUD
We start with charcoal lobster rolls that are small but generously filled with chunks of lobster. These rolls are for people that don't like mayonnaise in their lobster rolls as the amount of saffron aioli is small and they come two to a serve.
Tumblr media
Cecina de leon AED65/$23AUD
The Cecina de Leon comes in a generous portion with slices of toasted rye bread.
Tumblr media
Fragrant Lamb Ribs AED65/$23AUD
The lamb ribs are also a good sized serve for sharing and come as three racks of four ribs. They're juicy and very soft with a moreish and slightly sweet caramelised barbecue glaze with a hint of chilli spice. To the side is a dipping yogurt.
Tumblr media
Tomato salad AED60/$22AUD
The heirloom tomato salad comes topped with crunchy quinoa to give it plenty of texture.
Tumblr media
Boneless Rib Eye AED230/$84AUD
Sadly a couple of things were sold out that I wanted like the king crab beignets and the Irish Dry Aged Rib Eye but we got the boneless rib eye instead and it's very succulent and delicious-so much so that I go back for thirds of this despite claiming that I was not hungry.
Tumblr media
Charred King Prawns AED 120/$44AUD
The prawns are split down the centre and grilled and served with chilli and herbs.
Tumblr media
Mac and Cheese AED 40/$14AUD
But whatever you do, leave room for the truffle mac and cheese. It's pretty much perfection with black truffle, Comte cheese and fat tubular pasta with a crunchy coating of breadcrumbs. Apart from the truffle I love the use of Comte cheese and the tubes are great for collecting the creamy truffle infused filling so some pieces are filled with cheesy truffle cream. Need I go on? ;)
Tumblr media
Breakfast is also an impressive affair with plenty of choice with Asian, Indian and Middle Eastern stations as well as the usual Continental selection. Because Dubai is a Muslim country you won't find pork at breakfast. Instead there is a veal and beef bacon (that tastes a bit like bakkwa) as well as chicken sausages. But my favourite bits are the Middle Eastern breads, sambousek pastries and Indian egg curries. Because while in Dubai you eat Dubai style!
So tell me Dear Reader, do you always book breakfast to be included with your hotel stay? And have you ever tried a zapiekanka before?
NQN travelled as a guest of Visit Dubai but all opinions remain her own.

When I moved to Dubai more than a decade ago I didn’t give a thought to a Dubai dress code or even what to wear in Dubai once I was here. I assumed that the work and leisure clothing I possessed would be suitable for my work and leisure activities.
My clothing was indeed suitable, but what I did not count on was the heat and humidity that made me feel like I had a river of sweat running down my back when I was outside in the first month. Nor did I realise how contrary to the seasons my dressing would be, making layered outfits essential.
It was very easy for me to feel at home amongst women who wore abaya and head covers and men who wear the kandora because I dress modestly and cover my hair anyway. That was a conscious choice that I made more than twenty years ago, and have never regretted. However, it is not for everyone, and every person should make that choice for their own personal circumstances.
The Dubai dress code provides guidance on what to wear in Dubai and the other emirates, in order to respect the religious values of the people of the UAE and the local culture. The UAE dress code is applicable to all visitors and residents and is mandated by the UAE Federal government.
I have never felt oppressed by the Dubai dress code as I was born into a Muslim family and raised as a Muslim. Consequently I share the same religious values as the people of the UAE. This is not true for many non-Muslims who visit or move here for work and this may result in dissatisfaction with the requirements for modesty in public places.
The photos in this article were made possible by my friends from work Ederlyn, Shielibeth and Marites who selflessly allowed me to photograph them to show what real people (as opposed to sponsored influencers) wear in Dubai.
Dubai dress code
Everyone is expected to dress modestly, especially in conservative areas or public places like shopping malls.
Clothing should not be transparent or result in indecent exposure.
Clothing should not display obscene pictures or language.
For comfort both genders are recommended to wear loose fitting clothing that covers limbs (shoulders, arms and legs).
Women are not required to cover their hair or wear traditional or modern Islamic clothing.
Women visiting a mosque are asked to respect Muslim tradition and required to cover their hair and wear an abaya. These are often provided at the mosque.
Any nudity is forbidden. This includes topless sunbathing and wearing swimwear in areas outside of beaches, swimming pools and water parks.
Visitors are reminded that the local culture is conservative and that UAE citizens dress conservatively and may be offended by inappropriate dressing that do not conform to Islamic values.
Dubai dress code rules for tourists
Residents and tourists alike are subject to the same dress code. However, caution should be exercised in other emirates as they may be more vigilant in applying the dress code in public places.
Many of the younger generation feel that the dress code is oppressive to them because it demands modesty.
What many visitors fail to appreciate is that we are guests in this country, and that by choosing to stay we are obliged to respect the laws, religious values and local culture of the people of the UAE.
Read more: The Best Time to visit Dubai (a resident’s guide)
What to wear in Dubai
In Dubai traditional clothing for local ladies is the traditionally black abaya and for men it is the kandora. Visitors to UAE are not required to wear the abaya or kandora except when visiting a mosque. The climate and culture dictate the appropriate dress for men and women and it includes the following:
The abaya, the UAE traditional dress for ladies, has been adopted by women of many nationalities and faiths in Dubai. An abaya is a loose full length full cover coat like garment worn by Muslim women over other clothing when they go out in public. It is usually a plain color and is often embellished with lace, sequins, crystals and pearls and matched with a similarly decorative head cover (also referred to as a shayla or hijab).
Midi or maxi dresses and skirts, loose fitting trousers and tops in natural fabrics like cotton or linen or are cooler and more breathable than synthetics and will be more comfortable when exposed to the heat and humidity.
Short and long sleeves are more modest than sleeveless or spaghetti strap tops but also offer a small measure of protection against the summer sun or the frosty air conditioning in most buildings. That is especially true in malls and office buildings where the air conditioning temperatures are frigid in summer and many actually wear a shawl or pashmina to ward off the chill.
A bolero style jacket or shrug is useful to cover shoulders and arms and can be worn over the above mentioned sleeveless or strappy tops.
Cotton leggings can be worn under short dresses to cover the legs or with tops and tunics.
For casual wear capri pants, culottes, pedal pushers and cropped pants are suitable as they cover the thighs and knees.
Men and women may wear shorts, although they may be cautioned if found wearing hot pants (extremely short shorts) that shows their naked buttocks in public places frequented by families.

What not to wear in Dubai
These Dubai dress code wardrobe no-nos should be avoided in public places including on the streets, malls, public parks, markets and souks, supermarkets, cinemas and public areas of hotels. These do not apply inside private residences or hotel rooms.
It is not permissable for Muslim men to look at the uncovered bare skin of un-related women, except for their hands and faces. Unfortunately, there are not many ways to avoid it in public places, hence the dress code guidelines.
Swimsuit tops and bottoms are considered swimwear and suitable for the beach, beach parks, beach malls, swimming pool and water parks and are frowned upon elsewhere. A see through sarong or cover up is suitable for the beach or swimming pool. Please don’t go out in public dressed like this as it may cause offence, and applies to both men and women.
Skin tight clothing is discouraged in public and very uncomfortable in the heat. This includes gym wear, so please change into something suitable before going out in public.
Wearing shorts in Dubai is allowed, however, hot pants or ultra-short shorts are not appropriate in public. Men should wear shorts that are at least mid-thigh or knee length.
Sheer and see-through clothing through which underwear can be seen must be avoided.
Plunging necklines may cause discomfort to other members of the public if they reveal the chest or breasts.
Crop tops, low cut or cut out dresses that expose the midriff or back are not deemed appropriate in public places frequented by families, but are suitable for nightclubs.
Ultra short and micro mini skirts or shirt dresses that may accidentally expose the derriere are inappropriate anywhere.
All of the above must be avoided at places of worship, government ministries and municipal offices as you will be shown away and asked to come back dressed appropriately, if an abaya or kandura is not provided.
Although it happens infrequently, all malls have their dress code on the entrances and visitors may be asked to change or leave if they are not dressed appropriately.
Where to buy traditional clothes in Dubai
When I first moved to Dubai I did not wear the abaya because I did not travel with any on my mum’s advice who said: ‘you will find them every where’. We did not realise how expensive abayas were in the malls and I would never have ventured to a souk in Deira or Bur Dubai by myself.
For months I struggled to find any abayas that were in my price range or that were suitable for my needs. I finally found a reasonably priced abaya shop that sells modern abaya fashion including open abayas. After a decade I grew tired of all the black abayas and over the past few years transitioned to more contemporary modest women’s clothing.
You may find abaya shops in Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Mall, Souk al Bahar or Madinat Jumeirah and wonder how anyone can eat or pay rent after buying one. Those are generally very expensive and for the luxury local and tourist market. There are cheaper abayas available in the souks and bazaars.
Classic World of Abaya – branches of my favorite abaya shop are found in Lulu Hypermarkets malls all over Dubai. They have better quality abayas than the souks and also make bespoke tailored abayas on request.
Naif Souk – this is one of the favorite places for tourists to shop for souvenirs but they also have a good selection of abaya shops selling cheap ready to wear abayas. The fabric quality may not be as good as the more expensive shops.
Meena Bazaar – this is one of the favorite places for residents to shop and there are numerous stores selling ready to wear abayas as well as tailors who will make or alter abayas and kaftans for you.

What to wear in Dubai for Leisure wear
The women in Dubai are never sloppy so even the casual clothing that they wear for leisure activities is still fun and smart.
What to wear in Dubai to the beach
Two piece bikinis, one piece swimsuits and burkinis are allowed on public beaches, with or without cover-ups. However, thong bottoms that expose the derriere are discouraged. My friends all prefer a cover up over their swimsuits but allowed a few shots without it to show the variety that is seen on the beaches here.
I have seen older women wading into the ocean wearing full length dresses or long pants and tunics to preserve their modesty since they may not have access to other swimwear.

What to wear in Dubai for Breakfast or Brunch
Dubai brunches are legendary but are much less formal than they were ten years ago. Comfort is queen especially when looser waistlines are required 🙂

What to wear in Dubai for work
Many Dubai companies have a fairly relaxed smart casual work attire, although staff may be required to be more formal when attending outside meetings, seminars or workshops. In our company even the senior executives only wear jackets and ties to meetings.

What to wear in Dubai on Ladies night or a night out
Ladies night is one of the most popular cheap and free things to do in Dubai and is an opportunity for the ladies to get out and have some fun.
Most cafes, restaurants and bars that have ladies night promotional offers have a dress code of smart casual / semi-formal.
A few places insist on heels so double check with your chosen venue.
Most ladies get dressed up and show off some bling or skin.

What to wear in Dubai on a Desert safari
Desert safaris start out around 3pm when it is still quite hot and lasts into the evening, with many ending after 9pm.
Casual trousers, tights or capri pants and long sleeve t-shirts or tunics will protect your limbs from the sun and sand. Save the dreamy dresses for your instagram shoots because they will get in the way during sandboarding, dune buggy rides or camel rides.
A shawl or scarf is essential for the outdoor time on the dunes while sandboarding and will prevent sand getting into nose and eyes and if the breeze picks up.
Closed shoes or tennis shoes / trainers are preferable to sandals and easier to walk on the soft dune sand. The sand will get into everything and is extremely hot during the warmer months.
A sunhat and sunglasses are advisable and ensure skin and eye protection against harsh sunlight.
The desert evenings can be chilly even in summer, and it is advisable to take a light jacket or shawl.
#gallery-0-23 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-23 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-23 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-23 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
The reality is that this country has a majority of expats, including men who have not seen their families for a year or two. They may be inclined to stare at semi-naked women wearing revealing tops, shorts or short dresses that show a lot of skin. I never know whether it is out of shock at seeing so much skin or due to carnal desires.
I’m old and have never been subject to it here and never realised the extent of the staring until my cousin visited with his teenage daughters. The girls wore shorts and sleeveless or strappy tops, the same thing they wear in Cape Town during summer. Wherever we went I noticed the stares and lingering glances of strange men, and I must confess I felt particularly protective of the girls, even telling a few of the young men to lower their gaze!
The most important consideration for visitors to the UAE is to maintain modesty and respect for the religious and cultural values of the land and it’s people in speech, actions and dress. Always wear layers, so that you can be comfortable whether you are outside enjoying the heat or inside a cold air conditioned building.
Pin this for later!

DAY 4: A SIDE TRIP TO ABU DHABI
Tumblr media
SHEIK ZAYED GRAND MOSQUE
Our mini-vacation cannot be complete without a side trip to one of UAE's most developed city: Abu Dhabi. Our main destination was of course the well-renowned, first Ferrari-branded theme park in the world, apart from the Grand Mosque and Emirates Palace. We still had a little hangover from the concert last night and I swear I never had imagined that we would struggle getting up on bed every morning.😂 It was few hours before high noon when we departed from our hotel to get to Al Ghubaiba Bus Station. The public transport system in UAE is surprisingly simple, convenient and cheap and I promise it is one of the best things I love in this country. Abu Dhabi on the other hand doesn't have a metro system, but they do have a pretty decent bus network at only 2 AED per ride (about 0.55 USD) which is also very affordable. We arrived in about two hours and after having a quick lunch of shawarma (yes and we can't afford to skip lunch after skipping breakfast😂) we headed straight to our first destination: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Unfortunately, we cannot wait for buses since we are already running out of time so we came across a Pakistani taxi driver named Janu and negotiated with him to take and fetch us to the mosque and the theme park. It was quite expensive but we can only think of getting the most of our time in the city. This mosque has a strict dress code and apparently, this isn't new to us since we are already practicing such custom in Saudi Arabia. We even had to bring our own Abaya, although they also provide one for tourists in the mosque's entrance gates and it was already too late for us to know.😀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The mosque had a total of 82 domes in 7 different sizes.
Tumblr media
Upon entering the gate, we were welcomed with a spectacular view of a crystal clear, blue water which beautifully decorated the mosque's outer landscaping designs. We walked past the marble hallway and prayer aisles but there are some sacred sections not open to public. I was bedazzled by how the furnitures were intricately designed particularly the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The entire place is a work of art. Every corner is adorned with the most intricate details, and well, including the comfort rooms.
Tumblr media
The floral wall in women's washroom.🌺🌻🌸💐
We only spent about an hour or two wandering around the mosque because we just can't tolerate the scorching heat of the sun. Good thing Ferrari world is an indoor theme park so we never really worried about the hot weather.
FERRARI WORLD
Tumblr media
Time's up and our taxi driver was already waiting at the mosque's parking area. We've already anticipated that we will ran out of time, so unfortunately, we scratched out the "Emirates Palace" from our destination list. The ride took about 20 minutes and by 2PM, we were already at the theme park.
Ferrari World is located at Yas Island and is boasted by locals as the largest Ferrari-themed park in the world. The iconic red and silver aluminum roof of the theme park was just so astonishing from an aerial view which, unfortunately, can only be seen in pictures.😂
Tumblr media
Ferrari World (Aerial view)
The interior designs however, were similarly attractive. I'm honestly not into cars that much but I definitely enjoyed the rides and sights. To sum it all up, some of the rides we had experienced include: Tyre Twist, Bell Italia, Fiorano GT, Turbo Track, Galleria Ferrari, Fast Lane and Viaggio in Italia.
Tumblr media
Galleria Ferrari.
Tumblr media
F1 racing champion. 😂🏎
I did not attempt to try out the world's fastest roller coaster (Formula Rossa) because apart from being a scaredy-cat, I was already expecting a long line and waiting for our turn could eat up so much time.
But to get the most out of our pricey entrance tickets, we opted to try the less intimidating kind of coaster. The Fiorano GT Challenge is a dual coaster ride, and is set up as if you are competing with the other roller coaster car. It’s a “fun” type of roller coaster which is to say not too fast but not too slow, and it doesn’t have super steep dips and super sudden turns. It’s still fast and still has twists, but to me it’s a pretty feel-good ride. I loved it! We rode it after sundown and the air outside was so cool; the wind was blowing wildly in my hair, and I think that contributed to my enjoyment of it too.
So far, the scariest yet the best and thrilling ride we had experienced was the newly launched coaster named Turbo Track. I was surprised to find out that it was just opened a month before our trip (March 2017) so I guess we were really lucky although we had to wait for about an hour in the queue. This ride was unusually astounding as they had uniquely designed and created an opening in the red glass funnel roof of the park to allow the track to rise vertically and plummet back to the starting point. People say it moved half the speed of its Formula Rossa counterpart, but for me it was more like "a blink of an eye" ride. 😂
Tumblr media
The turbo track. I can't imagine we were actually thrown up to the roof and back for like 5seconds! 😂🎢
We spent so little time in here that I didn’t get to explore all the rides and places around. We were also considering the fact that we had to travel back to Dubai for hours. I thought three or four hours would be enough but it wasn't.
So my tip for those who want to visit Ferrari World:
1. Try to visit it on weekdays (apparently, the park is overcrowded on weekends.)
2. Try to come as early as possible. It opens at 11AM. Believe me, it is better to leave early if you are done earlier, than to have the feeling that you have missed something.
3. Save time by purchasing Premium Pass (+100 AED to regular passes). It might be expensive for you but know that "time is gold" and it's worth the price. It would allow you to bypass long lines and be able to get the most of the rides/shows in the park.

Why live in DUBAI?
Tumblr media
Before I moved to Dubai, I moved from Rio to Lima to Belo Horizonte back to Rio to to Angola back to Rio to Oxford to Maputo to Lagos to South Africa to London. By the way, this all happened in 5 years. So yeah- its very possible that I’m biased and any place would seem great if after so long you get a chance to build some roots. But I also think Dubai is a very special place thats almost unlike any other. Before this, my top 2 cities (to live, not to visit) were Rio and New York- I couldn't imagine any other global cities that could compete with Rio on climate, beaches and beauty or with New York on diversity, shopping and night life. And maybe Dubai doesn’t directly compete on these metrics but for me, its as close as I’ve ever come to a perfect place to live. As a tribute to my adopted city (even though I'm in London at the moment), here’s a few reasons to love living in Dubai: 1. Never cold and always sunny. The coldest day of the year thus far was 65 degrees- at night. 2. Diversity on Fleek. With 85% foreign born population, day-to-day life exposes you to Emirati, Philippino, Lebanese, British, Indian, Pakistani, Moroccan and about 180 other nationalities, including food, clothing, music, customs, a wealth of new perspectives in a global village. Diversity and cross-cultural learning are good for the mind and spirit. 3. Beauty everywhere. From the Arabian arches of palatial hotels like Atlantis to towering heights of Burj Khalifa to the brilliant blue of the city’s private and pubic beaches to the illuminated palm trees lining the downtown Boulevard (UAE's version of Champs Elysees), most days are full of beautiful sights. 4. Unparalleled safety. Women can walk alone at 10 pm, 1 am, 5 am, You can leave your iphone on a table in Starbucks and come back in 2 hours! Many people leave their doors and cars unlocked because there are cameras everywhere and strict deportation laws so nothing ever happens. Plus since expats can only be here with a job or a sponsor, theres pretty limited economic incentive for stealing and crime. 5. Luxury lifestyle. Totally affordable to have a maid, dry clean all your work clothes and go to the spa every week. Plus everything from prescriptions to bedding to a can of pepsi can be delivered nearly 24 hs/day.  If you want the cost breakdown on this, feel free to comment- but its a small fraction of prices in the USA. The caveat (and I gotta be real about this) is the externalities or hidden costs of bringing low-skilled labor to a global hub at low hourly rates which makes these services so affordable. 😦 Just being real, although an equitable solution would be very complex and dependent on multiple statekholders. 6. Round-the-clock convenience. Malls close at midnight, supermarkets are 24-7, restaurants are open til 4 am, hair salons are open til 10 pm. Basically, no matter if you work late, you can still get stuff done or hang out late on weekdays. 6. Low or no taxes. The latter holds true for all but U.S. Americans and even we get significant exemptions as foreign residents. 7. Auspicious gender ratios. 3 men to every woman, which means men are plentiful and willing to invest in a good woman.  I’m married now so this is no longer a consideration- but for single educated women, this place has extremely favorable odds. 8. No police brutality, frisking laws or anti-Black racial profiling. Compared to USA and Brazil, Black people are afforded better civil rights. 9. Real estate value for money. Compared to similar location in New York, equivalent rent payment lands you 3x as much space. Compared to Washington DC, 2x as much space. Plus will usually come with doorman, intercom, security access, pool, gym, sauna and sometimes balcony. 10. Cosmopolitan ammennities. From the likes of Nobu, Koi, Rosa Mexicana, the best US/European chains are all here! This applies just as much to top restaurants like Trader Vics and Nobikov to top brands like Armani, Gucci and Hermes. Now Dubai and Abu Dhabi are doing similar partnerships with top museums and cultural institutions like the Louvre so cultural offerings will only get better. Hopefully there will be some kind of partnership with the Schomburg (a girl can dream, right?) 11. Biggest mall in the world. And its great. 12. Beautiful beaches! And yes we can wear bikinis. 13. Never rains- because (duh) we are in a desert! UV rays and blow outs in full glory year-round. 14. Amazing connectivity. Within an 8 hour flight to 80% of the world population. With carriers like Emirates, Etihad. FlyDubai and AirArabia, its super cheap to go to all of Asia and Europe and significant portion of Africa. For example. RT to Delhi was 200 bucks and Bangkok Thailand 350 (though I got the latter free with FF miles 😉 ). You can easily travel to a  dozen countries in a year without breaking the bank. 15. Not as racist as USA or the Americas. Every place has social stigma, barriers and inequality. But unlike almost every other global capital, Dubai has a Black/Brown majority as well as Black/Brown leadership and economic elite- so naturally, the racially-related socio-economic barriers for Black/Brown people are presumably relatively more auspicious. Which is not to say there are not barriers related to nationality, religion, language or skin color. Just that its better than USA/ the Americas in terms of the socio-economic and security disparities associated with race. 16. Family oriented. The expat population (which is over 50% Indian/Pakistani) is typified by countries with high birth rates and the local population has average 4-5 kids/family. Add to that Arabian cultural values which emphasize family and you get a place where its normal to see families all over the mall, where the airline gives you free strollers, where there are special lines for moms and kids and where there are special amusement parks just for kids. Its pretty cute. And no doubt adds to the ease and appeal of raising kids here. 17. Excellent benefits for skilled labor. Twice as much vacation days as in the USA. Plus (at least at my company) six months of maternity leave, which is like 10 times more than back in USA. I’m not a mom yet but damn lets give them the respect they deserve. 18. Ramadan. 1 month of reduced working hours plus beautiful, neverending Islamic feasts with dates, apricot juice, hummus, sujouk and more 19. Support for women. From women-only taxis to VIP lines for women at some airports/ government entities, women are sometimes sometimes treated as separate but equal but different. Rather than discrimination, these seem more like additional ways to protect women and children. And thats cool with me.  Also, the predominance of the abaya makes life easier, increasing women's ability to be efficient with their daily routine and have more time for the important things in life 20. Shisha. While Dubai will never join Cali and Colorado in legalizing ganja (this blog does not advocate or have an opinion on whether legalization is an appropriate public policy!), we have endless venues to relax with fragrant intoxicating relaxing fruit-flavored Arabian argileh. 21. Arabian fragrances. I DO love Tom Ford ( NdN, Noir, Black Orchid) but I’m telling you even the top Western perfume houses can not even touch the amazing, intoxicating and hypnotizing artisanal fragrances crafted here in the Arabian gulf. Especially when the oud hits your head like a memory from a past life lol. 22. A historic first. Its kind of exciting to be a part of the ascent of one of the top global financial and business hubs out side of the Western world. Click to Post

A Short Guide On Tradition And Culture Of Dubai
Dubai is an exceptionally beautiful place with an alluring and unique culture. In case, this facts tempts you to get a small glimpse of its shine as a traveler, here is a write-up that will take you a little closer. First and foremost thing, if you need to understand the impulse of this place a day or a week wouldn’t be enough.

So, it will be a good idea to find a cheap monthly car rental service in Dubai before starting the tour and use 6 simple steps to rent a car in Dubai. You will be surprised to know that there are sample numbers of Dubai based car rental service providers that allow tourists and explorers to rent a car in Dubai at the most pocket friendly prices.
Tumblr media
Now, moving on back to our story, there are a few things that you should know about the culture and traditions of a place before you visit it. It takes several generations to build unique culture and tradition, so make sure you respect the integrity when show no disrespect to it in any manner. Dubai gets its name from a swarm of locusts and it came into existence somewhere around 1095. However, it was finally established in year 1833 by a royal man named Sheikh Maktoum Bin Buti al Maktoum. DUbai has been functional under the Al Maktoum dynasty since then  and still stands as a constitutional monarchy till date. It was but under the British rule for a small period of time but took back its independence in 1971. It is one of the biggest UAE cities and 80 percent of its residents are from other places like Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Philippines, India, and so forth. The main religion of this place is Islam and the most common language here is Arabic. The local dialects, however, include Hindi, English, Urdu, as well as Persian. The currency used here is UAE Dirham.
Like any other place, Dubai has its own dressing code where men adorn long, white ankle length robes known as konduras and women wear long black ankle length robes called abayas. Women are supposed to abide by strict dress codes that include burkas. The tradition is now taking a relaxation as more and more people are getting educated and understanding the language of liberalization. Dubai also has strict laws against alcohol consumption in public and you also need permit for its consumption in your own premises. Dubai is basically a dry state.
