BEFORE YOU LEAVE

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS AND DEPOSITS

The best time to visit Dubai is in the winter months, from November to April. Different nationalities have different criteria that need to be fulfilled to obtain a valid visa. American citizens

who have regular passports do not need to have a visa. Visas are available upon arrival at the UAE airport. Travellers can get a Tourist Visa which is valid for 30 days, a Service Visa which is valid for 14 days, or a Visit Visa from a hotel or a travel company, based on reservation. Entry into the UAE is subject to immigration approval. Your ticket is non-refundable if your visa has been issued and is used. Visas take approximately three to four working days to process. Visa fees are non-refundable, once paid.

TRAVEL
ETIQUETTE

Whether you are visiting Dubai for the first time or not, it's always good to learn about the region and the culture you are going into before travelling. Here are some pointers to keep in mind: Both

women and men must dress modestly. Swimwear is to be worn on the beach and by poolside only. While in public, you are free to hold hands, but long kisses and hugs are discouraged. Please do not indulge in excessive public drinking. Do not drink and drive. It is considered polite to use your right hand when greeting someone or taking or receiving a gift. Wait for the courtesy of the handshake to be extended to you, and not before. Pointing the soles of your shoes at anyone or crossing your legs is considered rude. Always ask for permission before taking a photo of locals. Please avoid bringing up controversial topics, such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
