TravelPlanning A Visit To Doha, Qatar. by Lasinoh(op): 12:49am On Feb 12, 2012
I am very familiar with the cultures of the Western countries. I have been intrigued by the countries of the Middle East. Except Saudi Arabia of course. Just as I have only visited Israel once, as a child. . .NEVER AGAIN. I don't plan to visit Saudi Arabia. kiss I have seen the UAE and I have seen China. Next? Destination Doha in Qatar. One of my co-workers took a travelling assignment over there and loved it. She compared it to Dubai. I am looking forward to it. cool

This is going to be for my birthday this year and just for 2. cool I  have started planning. I wanted to go to Austrailia via South Africa this year. . .but to avoid Nigeria entirely this year. . . I have changed my vacation getaway to Doha, Qatar. Yup! My plans keep changing. . . and loving it! Thank God for choices.

Let's talk Doha, Qatar. cool I don taya to go look London. . .or Europe with that their weather. I have been to Spain and loved it. Barcalona was a dream come true.

Time to change gears. Dohar. . .here I come. The planning has begun. kiss

Don't forget to budget another $2500 for feeding, sight-seeing, transportation and shopping AT LEAST! Just for 2.

Most conservative? $4000 dollars for 2. kiss
TravelRe: Dubai, Dubai Everyday! by Lasinoh: 12:24am On Feb 12, 2012
Private tour vs group tour? Your choice and budget. kiss

I prefer a private tour. You get to pick where YOU want to go, eat what you want to eat without suffering the inconveniences of a 'group discount'! kiss

How much would a trip to Dubai cost?

[b]depending on where you are from, you might be better off booking a package. If you are not too much into that kind of traveling like I am, just book for a few nights (3 - 4) and extend the flight by the remaining days. This way, you might be able to take advantage of the low wholesale prices that tour operators pay to hotels and will pass on to you, depending on the season. You'll also be able to book a desert safari (priced at around 70 - 100 USD per pax) right through them (although you can do so from many locations here in Dubai, I'd like to suggest Net Tours or Arabian Adventures as the companies to go with) and will have a transfer from the airport included.

If you book individually like asked above, you'll pay from around 100 USD for a three star hotel to around 300 USD for a five star hotel. The market below five stars is not really very developed, you might have a hard time finding a suitable accomodation below that as international budget hotels are only in the pipeline.
Dubai very much depends on seasonality and conferences - book ahead!

With the increased inflation in place, many places have augmented their prices just recently, expect to pay around 5 USD for a capuccino, around 20 USD for fast food for two, around 30 USD for dining out in a non-licensed place (means it does not serve alcohol) and from 50 USD and up for licensed places. You should definately venture out into Karama and Bur Dubai to sample the many 'cafeterias' that are serving ethnic food from all over the world at very reasonable prices - around 5USD per dish.

Enjoy your trip!

[/b]
What ever the situation, you can NEVER enjoy a place like Dubai on your own. It has to be planned with at least 2 people. It is safer too, for there is safety in numbers ALWAYS. You can look out for each other. kiss

The more the merrier for fun memories. I make such trips a family one for the priceless memories. Always at least 5 people. cool

Doing Dubai on a budget? Very doable. kiss

TravelRe: Dubai, Dubai Everyday! by Lasinoh: 11:56pm On Feb 11, 2012
Even if you spend a whole month in Dubai, YOU CANNOT SEE IT ALL. kiss
For a 1-week vacation, visit 3 places and rest for 4 days. . .or your hotel room will be under-utilized Unless you are on a business trip.
For a 2-week vacation, plan to visit 5 places plus one tour around Dubai.

Be realistic and avoid depriving yourself of the much-needed rest it was meant to be planned for in the first place. kiss

No matter if you are visiting Dubai for a vacation or as an expat for a long stay, we can guide you how to get the maximum out of your visit.

There is a big difference between visiting Dubai for a holiday verses visiting for a job and staying longer (we know this because we have done both). Especially, Dubai accommodation options can save you a lot of money if chosen carefully. For an example, have a look at cheap Dubai hotels at Hotels.com and see how much you can save if you know where to look for.
TravelRe: Dubai, Dubai Everyday! by Lasinoh: 11:34pm On Feb 11, 2012
Plan 6 months in advance. kiss

1. Getting your visa if you need one. See list of countries that require a visa before entering the UAE. The citizens of some countries are required to get their visa at the Dubai Airport(very easy). All African countries need a visa and a sponsor.

http://www.visiting-dubai.com/2008/10/dubai-visa-requirements.html

2. Return ticket required.

http://www.worldtravelguide.net/united-arab-emirates/passport-visa

3. Book your PREPAID hotel in advance for the best bargains. More expensive with continental breakfast. I always prefer a hotel with free limo service to and from the airport. No need to rent a taxi to and from the airport. kiss

4. Do not book sight seeing tours in advance. Reason? You might change your mind. Your best bet is make a private arrangement with your sponsor or anyone you may trust from your hotel room. Usually less expensive and more private than a group, bus tour. kiss
Dubia is a big place and because of traffic. . . you might just hate your life if you are stuck in one of those nightmarish traffic jams on a week day. Best option, try sightseeing on a SUNDAY! kiss

The hotels alone are sight-seeing attractions in themselves. . .so I spend MOST OF MY TIME IN THEM. . .to enjoy the room service, bar and clubs.

5. Pick 3 most facinating areas to visit and plan to spend at least 3 hours in each. Like Dubai Mall, Palm Atlantis Club and Gold Souk! Or if you have the patience for group bus tours to drive all over Dubai, go for it. I don't have that kind of patience especially with children. kiss

6. Get a credit card open with at least $10,000 for emergencies so you are not stressed out. Call your bank or credit card comparny to let them know you are in the UAE. You may be blocked from making those charges if you fail to inform them. kiss You don't have to spend it all. . . JUST FOR PEACE OF MIND. kiss

7. Get an ETISALAT phone from the Dubai International Airport as soon as possible. . .about $50 for the SIM card and another $200 for the re-charge cards that can be shared by all members of your family since you plan to ditch the SIM card after you leave Dubai. It will save you a lot of roaming charges on your phone.  IPhones and BlackBerries are AUTOMATICALLY ROAMED. . . be careful how you text messages and answer or make calls from them. kiss

Do like I do.
Anytime you are dealing with anything Nigerian. . .on or off the www, use a dummy e-mail addy.
Once you sign up for an ID on any Nigerian forum. . .never use the e-mail addy. kiss
Let the notices of replies and other junk matters be confined there.
I don't ever keep passwords of those yahoo-yahoo e-mail addies.
Strictly to open an account to obtain an ID.
