AT#932 - Travel to Dubai and the United Arab Emirates

Hear about travel to Dubai and the United Arab Emirates as the Amateur Traveler talks about an unexpected trip to the region. Why should you visit the UAE? The United Arab Emirates is an odd combination of new and old. It is a multi-cultural country where 90% of the people who live there are guest workers from around the world. It is very modern, but if you look closely, you can find historic sites. Travel on this trip was sponsored by United Airlines. They wanted me to review their Polaris Business class as a solo international traveler. Here's the itinerary that Chris recommends based on his trip to Dubai and the UAE: Day 1: Arrival & Exploring Old Dubai Stay near Dubai Creek (Chris stayed at the Arabian Courtyard Hotel and Spa). Explore Dubai Creek: Walk through the old market near the creek. Visit the Al Seef district, a modern area designed to look traditional. See wind towers, a historic cooling system in traditional Emirati architecture. Visit Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding: Learn about Emirati culture, clothing, and traditions. Take an Abra (boat) across Dubai Creek (cost: ~1 dirham). Explore Deira’s Gold Souk and Spice Souk: Browse the gold shops and traditional spice markets. https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-dubai-and-the-united-arab-emirates/ Learn more about your ad choices.
