UAE is a splendid destination for holidaying and honeymooning, but this place is a tad different from what you are used to in other parts of the world. It chiefly differs in two aspects. Firstly, its climate is not quite what you are used to back home. When you travel to Dubai, you will have to be prepared for some harsh scorching sun. At the same time, winter can be pretty frigid too as the country has that tendency to go extreme! Secondly, the culture is different in this part of the world and you must respect it fully. It wears its customs and traditions on its sleeve, and itsy bitsy attire is a strict no no!

Here are a few things you should pack during Dubai and Abu Dhabi trips:

i.The right kind of dress: You can carry a few swimming costumes for slipping into at the beaches. But when you are roaming the cities and doing sightseeing, you are expected to be decently attired. You do not have to be covered from top to toe. But you must not saunter about in micro mini-skirts or backless tops or those off-shoulders! Pack dresses which will cover your thighs, shoulders and backs! You can wear skirts but they must be adequately long! At your Dubai accommodation and inside your private rooms, you are free to slip into whatever you want! But at public places, you will often come across signs requesting foreign tourists to be properly covered.

ii.Sunscreen and hat: As said earlier, the sun can be pretty strong in these parts. It will be advisable to carry a protective hat or head gear and some sunscreen lotions. You are likely to spend a lot of time outdoors under the sun on the beaches and even in deserts. So, it is recommended that you carry these to avoid tanning.

iii.Sports shoes: If you plan to dig into some adventure sport or go for desert safari, then you better carry a pair of sports shoes!

iv.GSM mobile phone: When you travel to Dubai or make Abu Dhabi trips, a GSM cell phone will be indispensable. You can buy a local number from any place (preferably from the airport) and use it to make calls to hotels, cab companies and food joints.

v.Medicines: No matter where you go, it is always recommended to carry some basic medicines with you. The country, of course, is very well equipped to provide you with any kind of medical facility, should the need arise! But some travelers are finicky about a particular brand and it is always great to be self-dependent on these matters. Nevertheless, you can always request the manager at your Dubai accommodation for any sort of emergency help you may need.

vi.This tour will take you to the very distinguished sites of Dubai. During your tour, you will feel the invigorating atmosphere of the ancient Arabic charms emanating from these century-old trading centres thriving in juxtaposition with the worlds most exciting cosmopolitan city.
