NONNYG:Okay that’s better. But I think people living there are used to the hotness already. Dubai is small but too big to explore you keep seeing new things everyday |

Sapphire86: Just read your story, its an interesting one, apparently I saw it at a time I was planning a trip to dubai in June or July when I get a break from business. I had contacted wontra whom I usually book flights through and they sent me a list of three hotels, the cheapest being 232k for 7 days inclusive of visa and airport transfers. Then they got me a direct flight deal via Emirates for abt 245 or so. Also another travel agent gave me a 400k deal for claridge hotel and Rwanda air (stop over inclusive) I am considering taking the cheaper one (as Nigerian man wen I be), however a staff who was there in January advise I do everything myself without using agents, according to him I should secure the visa which he said cost him abt 45k, then go to booking.com where I will get deals for 10k per night around deira for 3 star hotels, that's about 70k, then I can book Rwanda air or Ethiopia air for abt 210k. making everything fall down to 325k. However I'm kind of skeptical about doing it myself as I don't want any hassles(unless it saves me some good amount then hassles can be my surname), I have never been there. I want your advise from your experience, which should I go for, also do you have better advises for me? I'm sure many people who you have watered their mouth with this trip will also want information relating to this. Lastly I plan on taking only 200k for spending there aside the above costs, hope it will be enough, because my budget isn't more than 600k total. PS: Any other person with good information can also reply, help a brother. Thank you

thefunclubenterprise:Do it yourself. It’s very easy, but coming here in June/July, hmmmm, the weather will be extremely hot for you. |
Re: 10 Nights in Dubai by Sapphire86(f): 8:18pm On May 24, 2018 |
thefunclubenterprise: Hmmm I'll advise you to go with the Emirates flight of 245k, its a good price. As for the hotel, 10k per night means its a shitty hotel or most likely a hostel where your goods are not too safe and you may have to use a shared bathroom. If you are on vacay, then live a little. From my experience, I have never benefited from airport transfer on arrival so i would rather pay for it by using airport cabs. So, if they can guarantee pickup, then use them if not, take out the airport transfer from the package and negotiate the amount. I think you should save yourself the hassle and let the travel agent to it. I'm a part time agent so i did mine myself but searching for hotel took time because I'm picky, I won't lie. You can do hotel yourself via booking but don't complain about the stress But since you are going with 200k which is just about $555 or 2k AED you may not be able to shop much or tour much. I will suggest you take out 550 AED for feeding; hold 100 AED for incidentals (which you can splurge on at the airport at the end of your stay) and then the balance can be your mad money to buy anything you want to in Dubai |

PS: Any other person with good information can also reply, help a brother. Thank you Since you are a first timer, why not use Emirates vacation? They will give you affordable package of your choice which includes ticket, visa, hotel, airport transfers and tours. I used them in the past and found them affordable and efficient. |
Re: 10 Nights in Dubai by thefunclubenterprise(m): 10:20pm On May 24, 2018 |
NONNYG: That's a factor to consider, but honestly that's when I have free time. I'm guessing August will be hot as well? Maybe i will give it a try doing everything myself, if that will save me about 50-100k from the look of things, I can add that to my grooving money when I arrive |
Re: 10 Nights in Dubai by thefunclubenterprise(m): 10:27pm On May 24, 2018 |
Sapphire86: Thanks dear, yea the Emirates is a good deal to be honest, I will reply them to take out the airport transfer and breakfast (unless it comes with my hotel rooms as complimentary). I'm Not much of a shopping person, what do I want to buy again, I just want to go somewhere I can relax and enjoy a few days away from work, go for sight seeing and stuff. However I will always have reserves in my mastercard if anything out of the budget comes up. 550 Aed is about 55k right? That will definitely cover feeding my dummy budget was ( 50k feeding, 50k transport, 100k miscellaneous) For the hotel I just did a test on booking, got some really nice places around 17k - 20k Now I'm really confused you are asking me to use agents the other gentleman who resides there is asking I do it myself |

Sapphire86: @MetaPhysical did you have to tell us you went to France before talking about Toblerone? Just banter. lol @Sapphire86 have you tried ATKINS' range of choc? sorry i wrote it in caps......that is the bomb for me - they got different genres i'll say fruit mix, pure dark choc...heavenly i swear.. way better than toblerone......Dubai must have it i hope. Atkins! Atkins!! Try it and become addicted |

You can you make your trip immediately after world cup? That very 15th of July Some people went to Russia you know Anyway your name sounds like a business name from my research, there are co-existing rooms you can get for 5k/6k dont do Rwanda- layover in Congo - plus i heard Ebola is in congo atm, Why not Kenya instead? I got a 24hour Layover in Kenya to/fro and i already booked a 24 hour tour plus nightlife before my next day flight you know 1 layover reduces ur cost too. Make it fun Really i need a Nigerian companion just to compare tourism research papers I did mine by myself visa is just about $100 could be less thats for the 2 weeks travel allowance one i got an app for my everyday in dubai to fix me up Unfortunately i'm not a good writer, so no one should ask me but @Sapphire86 i'm going have weirder fun than you babe, just name it - the app helps you book multiple events and gives up to 60%- 70% discounts mid-summer Going be lit and i'm not going spend more than $2000 thefunclubenterprise: |

@sapphire86 ure an agent is this story a lure or marketing strategy? both are right and its really good yeah ure right about shared facilities but some my foreign pals used a place and said it was really cool, safe and informal no airport shuttle stuff - said cab or red nol card was better, buffet breakfast etc its an adventure so i'm sharing my notes for criticisms Sapphire86: 1 Like |
Re: 10 Nights in Dubai by Sapphire86(f): 6:44am On May 25, 2018 |
thefunclubenterprise: First of all, always book a stay with complimentary breakfast.. Secondly, even if you are going to book yourself, do use 17-20k hotels, but whatever your preference is sha. If you aren't someone who likes a good hotel, then book yourself (good hotels are a must for me) You and your naira conversions lolz Since you aren't into shopping, your budget is aiight. You are good to go. But limit the number of people you tell you are travelling to because they won't understand that Dubai is expensive, they would just be demanding. I did that this time, and I enjoyed taking care of me (but still got things for a few people) 1 Like |
