Magnificent views of the creek, cheap boat trips but make sure you negotiate with the drivers, and enjoy the scenic experience!

Most beautiful place to stay in Dubai, such a serene experience! I visited the Al seef Heritage area which has the most scenic architecture, capturing exactly what a dreamy Middle East looks like. Including many eating places and A London Diary

20230222 Morning: 1 Dubai River is a place to feel the pulse of Dubai. The Dubai River extends about 10 kilometers inland, dividing the city in two halves. To the east is Deira and to the west is Bur Dubai, the best way to feel the local culture is to take a water taxi or abra like the locals. These open-pit boats shuttle all day long, and the boat fee is only 1 dirham, about 2 yuan, which is the best way to visit the Dubai River. Attachment: UAE travel tips ① Currency: In exchange rate, USD/UAE dirham/RMB =100/370/700 (just about the value, there will be changes every day), it is recommended to exchange US dollars or dirhams in China, because the exchange loss of the profitable exchange point of Dubai Airport is too large. Going to the local area to get RMB for Dirham will be a huge loss. ② Shopping: Regular shopping malls can directly swipe domestic UnionPay cards, and the central bank will directly calculate the exchange rate and deduct the amount corresponding to RMB. But small shops may not be able to swipe UnionPay cards. ③ Price: Very expensive, relatively speaking, supermarkets and fast food are only twice as expensive as domestic ones, which is relatively acceptable. ④ Transportation: Renting is expensive, the bus is relatively cheap, and the bus will be divided into male and female areas; parking should be careful when driving, and the fine for illegal violations is very painful. ⑤ Accommodation: The price is about 5 times that of similar hotels in China. ⑥ Ramadan: Try to avoid traveling in Ramadan, or you have to sneak when you eat. The date of Ramadan changes every year. ⑦ Language: Basically speaking English. ⑧ Cost: If you travel poor, you can only travel with a group. If you have shopping points, you can drop to an average of 1,000 yuan per day. ⑨ Entry and exit: UAE landing visa, no nucleic acid is required; nucleic acid is required for returning home, and the cost of different testing institutions is between 30-170 dirham. Different nucleic acid policies will change. ⑩ Communications: When landing, 1 5G phone card will be given at the customs, and 1G traffic will be given free of charge; International roaming can also be opened on domestic mobile phone numbers, but the internet speed is a bit slow. ⑪ History: The UAE is composed of seven emirates, of which the capitals Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah are the largest. In 1971, the country was founded with a local population of 10 million and an alien population of 90%.

This is the newest area and it such an amazing place. Try to go during the sunset!
