:: Single traveller in Dubai
 
Traveling alone to a new place has a charm all its own! You can take your time or move quickly, wander according to your whims or stay put, and always do what you like doing most. Certain cities have a way of putting solo travelers at ease, and Dubai certainly fits that description. In this great modern metropolis by the Persian Gulf, you’ll always have more than enough to do! The attractions and entertainments are so numerous and easy to reach that you’ll always be able to relax and enjoy yourself. Lonliness is not a problem in an exotic, busy and bustling metropolis such as this. More importantly, anyone on their own will not have to worry about security or safety in this environment. Dubai is a city that lets you feel safe and enjoy a good holiday alone.

Here are a few suggestions for a great holiday in Dubai alone –

Accommodations: Select a hotel near the beach so that you can get a tan and just relax whenever you feel like it. Some options for luxury beach hotels are the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, the Le Meridien Mina Seyahi, the Le Royal Meridien and Shangri-la. The Madinat Mina A’ Salam is another hotel popular with single travelers because of its location near Dubai’s busiest bars and entertaining night life. If you like relaxing in the pool, select a hotel with a fresh water swimming pool to beat the heat of the city. You don’t have to worry about staying alone in Dubai since it’s absolutely safe, especially in the main tourist areas of the city where you will be pampered.


What To Do In Dubai —

1.Red Bus Tour — Take a Red Bus tour of Dubai to meet other travelers and see the important tourist attractions of the city. This tour will take you to The Dubai Museum, the Al Fahidi Fort, the Spice Souk, Sheikh Sayeed Al Maktoum`s House and out onto a Dhow River Cruise.

2.Desert Trip — Join a desert safari trip and enjoy a thrilling four-wheel vehicle as it crashes over the dunes. A gripping drive over the tough sand dunes is sure to bring your co-travelers closer to you. This is a great way to meet new people and make friends. After the dive, you can rest for the night in an encampment of tents, just like the Bedouins of yore! When you reach the campground, you can enjoy a camel ride with your new friends and have a dinner with barbecue. Join the belly dancers in their performances, and dance away the night in the desert.

3.Shopping — With its huge malls complete with lots of eateries and entertainment centers, Dubai is one of the best places in the world for shopping. A visit to a mall can easily last a day, especially places like the Mall of Emirates. You wouldn’t be doing justice to your visit to Dubai if you don’t see the Gold Souk or the Spice Souk! All that glitters in Dubai is probably gold; there are so many gold and diamond shops in the Gold Souk that it is said that only kings and queens can walk the street without getting strained necks! If you are keen on buying gold or diamonds, visit the Gold and Diamond Park. Other notable malls to visit are the Bur Jaman, Mercato and Diera City Center Mall. If you want to do some bargain shopping head to Karama Shopping Street and haggle till you’re satisfied. This is a great place to buy souvenirs.

4.Wild Wadi — Whether you’re alone or a part of a group, head to Wild Wadi Water Park for a day full of fun! Enjoy the thrilling rides of the water park, relax in the lazy pool with its gentle currents propelling you down the “river,” and come back to your room feeling refreshed!

5.Dhow Cruise — Book a cruise on the ancient dhows of the Arabian world. many dhow cruises at varying rates are available on Dubai Creek, offering an evening full of wonderful sights and a great dinner on board an air-conditioned boat. Some cruises provide a live music show on board to keep you entertained.

6.Your time alone will provide you with many opportunities to try out local snacks at roadside eateries, taste the Arab shwarma sandwiches and various beverages, and hop on local buses to see different places. When you have soe quiet time available, visit the Dubai Museum to learn about the history of the area. Stroll through Bastakiya to get a taste of the old city and the venerable culture of the original Dubai. Go to The Mall of Emirates for a cool skiing experience at ski Dubai where you actually get to ski on real snow in a desert country!

There’s nothing to worry about while traveling alone in Dubai, yet as in any other country, it’s best to respect the customs and laws of the land. Though there is no dress code for tourists in Dubai, it’s apt to dress modestly so as to not draw attention to yourself.
Have a happy solo holiday!
