🥘 Indian Food and Local Cuisine
Dubai is a haven for Indian food lovers. From affordable eateries in Bur Dubai and Karama to fine-dining restaurants in 5-star hotels, Indian cuisine is widely available. Vegetarian, Jain, and halal-friendly meals are easy to find. Popular restaurants like Ravi’s, Gazebo, Bikanervala, Rangoli, Bombay Chowpatty, and Maharaja Bhog serve a variety of North and South Indian dishes. International dining is also top-notch, with cuisines from across the globe. Mauzee Holiday can include meal plans tailored to dietary preferences, ensuring comfort throughout your trip.
💰 Currency & Budget Tips
The currency used in Dubai is the UAE Dirham (AED). 1 INR equals approximately 0.045–0.050 AED. Credit cards are widely accepted, but cash is useful for taxis, small shops, and souks. Dubai offers both luxury and budget travel options—meals can cost INR 500–1,000 at decent restaurants, while metro and bus travel is inexpensive. Currency exchange can be done at the airport or malls, and Mauzee Holiday also advises where to find the best rates locally.
📲 Connectivity & SIM Cards
Stay connected with ease—tourist SIM cards from Du or Etisalat are available at Dubai Airport and malls. They offer great value with local calls and internet data. Free Wi-Fi is available in most public areas, malls, and hotels. Mauzee Holiday provides SIM card assistance with select packages for seamless communication.
🧳 What to Pack for Dubai
Pack lightweight, modest clothing as per local customs—shorts and sleeveless tops are fine at resorts and malls but not recommended for mosques or government places. Carry sunglasses, sunscreen, comfortable shoes, and a hat for daytime outings. A light jacket may be useful indoors due to strong air conditioning. For the desert, consider wearing breathable cotton clothing and closed shoes. Don’t forget a universal adapter for plug types G (UK-style).
🚖 Getting Around
Dubai has an excellent public transport system including the Dubai Metro, which connects most major areas. Taxis are clean, safe, and metered. Apps like Careem and Uber are widely used. Hop-on-hop-off buses are great for tourists wanting to explore at their own pace. For comfort and convenience, Mauzee Holiday includes private transfers in most of our tour packages.
🎁 Shopping & Souvenirs
Dubai is a shopper’s paradise. Popular shopping spots include The Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Ibn Battuta Mall, and Global Village. For budget shopping and souvenirs, head to Meena Bazaar, Dragon Mart, or the Karama Market. Best buys include gold jewelry, Arabic perfumes, dates, dry fruits, spices, abayas, and electronics. Bargaining is common in souks and local markets.
📸 Instagram Spots in Dubai
Snap iconic photos at the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Frame, Miracle Garden, Atlantis the Palm, Desert Dunes at Sunset, Dubai Marina Skyline, Al Seef Heritage Area, and Ain Dubai (the world’s largest observation wheel). These are perfect for your travel reels and memories.
📅 Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Dubai is between October and March, when the weather is cool and perfect for outdoor sightseeing, desert safaris, and beach visits. Avoid peak summer months (June to August) unless you’re focusing on indoor attractions. The Dubai Shopping Festival (December–January) is a big draw, offering mega sales, cultural shows, and fireworks across the city.
⚠️ Travel Tips & Etiquette
Dubai is clean, safe, and tourist-friendly. Dress modestly in public areas and always respect local customs. Avoid public displays of affection and never take photos of government buildings or locals without permission. Carry your passport or a copy while sightseeing. Alcohol is served only in licensed venues. Tipping (around 5–10%) is appreciated but not mandatory.
