Dubai: Your Complete Travel Guide to this Land of Excess
If you’ve been dreaming of skiing and suntanning in the same day, drunk on $5k bottles of Cristal, Dubai is your opulent paradise.
Getting To Dubai
Dubai Airport
The trip from the US to Dubai is typically around fourteen hours if you aren’t stopping anywhere in between. To me, the best flight to take would definitely be Emirates Airlines. Their first class section offers dual and single cabins where you can enjoy relative privacy while you get your beauty sleep. And your sleep is something you wouldn’t want to compromise on before going to Dubai. Dubai is a night city and you will find yourself going to bed as late (or should I say as early?) as 4am.
There probably isn’t any better way to spend your fourteen hours flying than in Emirates — unless, of course, you take a private jet.
Inside Emirates Business Class
The Dubai Airport is one of the largest airports in the world with a beautiful interior, various shopping outlets, bars and restaurants, so your shopping spree can begin from the very moment you step into Dubai. But remember not to go overboard in Duty Free, as there are many more trinkets you’ll want to throw into your shopping cart after you see the Dubai Mall.

Dubai is the place where I enjoyed my best time with my friend last year. Their structural view and saw the sea-beach is just mindblowing. I am a great fan of Dubai.

Great guide! Wish it was published a month ago. Last month on a visit to Dubai, we went out to Babs Al Shams for cocktails, dinner and a beautiful sunset. It was a nice escape from the concrete jungle of Dubai and it was only 45 minutes away by private car. Next trip, we are staying out there for a few weeks. ?

Love the article! I too am a solo female traveler. I have a question not necessarily about safety or harassment but about regulations. I heard that you have to be a certain age to be able to stay in Dubai if you are alone. I’m 24 years old and would like to go to Dubai but am I allowed to enter and stay in Dubai if I don’t have anyone with me the whole time?

Yes of course you are. There’s really no truth in that. I think Dubai is a very safe place to travel, especially solo. Tourism is one of their main sources of revenue and they take tourist safety really seriously.
