Rich City

Weekly off in Dubai is on Friday and Saturday Dubai Pass covers more than 40 attractions and activities. They can be chosen based on the attractions you want to visit. Use local taxis or Careem for travelling anywhere within the city. They usually cost less than Uber. Dubai Metro is also available for getting through the city. Bicycles and motorised scooters are available and can be booked through multiple apps like Careem, Trek Bikes, Nextbike, etc. Book tickets for Museum of the Future a month in advance as the slots are usually full if booked at the last minute. Book tickets/packages for Burj Khalifa and Desert Safari at least 1-2 days in advance Visit Global Village and Miracle Garden on the same day to save on the extra taxi cost. They are located quite close to each other. To visit Bur Dubai and Deira, travel to Bur Dubai by taxi and then take an abra ride to Deira. The entry to Dubai Fountain and At the Top Burj Khalifa is through the Dubai Mall. All three attractions can be visited together on the same day. You receive a prepaid SIM from the local operator DU on arrival at the Dubai Airport. It is activated and can be used by plug and play. You get 1 GB of free data for 24 hours, post which you will have to top up. When paying anywhere with a credit card, pay in your local currency rather than AED to avoid the extra conversion cost
