Flights To New Zealand Via Singapore
can we spend one night in Dubai on the cheap?
trying to sort flights to New Zealand from the UK, and by far the cheapest is Emirates flying via Dubai. We’ve been there before but only for a few hours at the airport, this time we would really like to split the journey with one night in a hotel, which comes in around 50 pounds for two. I do want to break the journey but not end up spending 200 pounds doing it!
I’m having trouble finding answers to the following, can anyone help?
- how much is transport into Dubai city?
- can we eat for a reasonable amount; we’re used to Singapore prices of about 5 pounds per person for a good curry or similar. Can we do this in Dubai?
- we know Dubai is Moslem so we need to be respectably dressed and miss out on the alcohol. Anything else we need to know?
many thanks!
Congratulations on choosing Emirates. I fly to Australia with them three times a year on average and find them to be very good. If you get the A380 you will love it.
Dubai is marketing itself as an upmarket destination so the price you have been quoted for the hotel is pretty good.
Food is wide ranging in the type, quality and prices on offer, from McDonald’s to Marco Pierre White with everything in between. Prices are relatively cheap with £5 for a fair meal and £10 for a pretty good one.
Transport in Taxis is very cheap, don’t know about the buses
Anywhere in the Emirates including Dubai you should wear modest clothes except on the beach. By modest I mean that shorts and shirts are OK so long as ladies do not show too much thigh or cleavage. On beaches there is no topless or nude bathing. It is not acceptable for men and women to show open affection in public even kissing and hand holding is frowned upon.
Alcohol is only available in some restaurants and in hotel bars. You cannot buy alcohol in the shops in Dubai as a visitor. You can take a moderate amount into the country for your own consumption
