Avisit to the Burj Khalifa, skydiving at Palm Jumeirah, lake ride at Dubai fountain, desert safari with BBQ dinner, rides at Wild Wadi water park, and hot air ballooning, Dubai is indeed a tourist’s paradise. Located in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula on the coast of the Persian Gulf, Dubai dazzles you at every turn. And with the tag of a ‘vaccine vacay destination’, its charm has increased. Since March, Dubai has been offering vaccine registration to those with resident visas.
The city is known for its energetic, untiring and enthusiastic buoyancy, ambition and vision to dream up and realise unique ideas, such as the vaccination project. Many Indians have visited the city in the last few months, owing to safety measures adopted by the city and a diverse mix of tourist attractions to explore.
Several travellers share with us their experiences of travelling to the capital of the Emirate of Dubai.
“I travelled to Dubai for my pre-wedding shoot during the pandemic. First, I had to get the Covid -19 test done which honestly, created a slight nervousness inside me. But I was also more excited than ever to finally get to travel after so long and to take in some fresh air outside my home while exploring some extraordinary places,” says Sejal Pagariya Agarwal, fashion stylist and makeup artist, who had travelled to Dubai in October last year.
Gaurav Dhingra, entrepreneur and fashion stylist, says, “In Dubai, various measures are taken to safeguard its citizens and immigrants. Social distancing and wearing a mask is mandatory, which itself reduces the risk of spreading or getting Covid-19. Moreover, immigrants are required to get their Covid-19 test done which further reduces the chance of spreading a disease.”
A culturally rich and diverse landscape of fashion, food, music and performances, it is bustling with travellers all the year around. Be it eating like a Bedouin, dancing on the beach, shopping for local art or riding a camel in the desert. “Dubai is undoubtedly an epicurean paradise. From luxurious restaurants like Armani/ Amal that has great views to quick service restaurant global brands like Shake Shack, Dubai has it all. Whether you want to have sushi or dimsums or Indian food, you’ll find a restaurant serving the best of cuisine,” says Vishakha Talreja, travel influencer.
Debina Bonerjee, actor and travel influencer who visited Dubai in November last year, says it’s one of the nearest vacation destinations that you can reach in just two hours. “With such great places to eat around Burj Khalifa, community theatre, live-music venues and the world-class Dubai Opera, Dubai is heaven on earth,” she says.
