3 week vacation to Saudia Arabia and Dubai, please help.?

Question

What should I pack?

-this is a big one for me. I've got clothes, and I know it's blazing hot over there, so it's all lightweight. Umm, I got all my basic toiletries, but what else do I need?

What should I expect?

Anything important I may be forgetting?

Thanks for any help, please no ignorant answers.

Answer 1

Dubai is the only Arabic place I ever been in. So I only can advise about that.

As you know: It's so d**n hot -only in the middle of winter, you can expect a relatively nice weather like its spring! It's also so humid -hardest part for me. So you'll be needing only cool light cloths, and shoes.

Expect too much walking specially if you're going for shopping, so bring comfortable shoes -there are many ugly expensive shoes in famous shopping centers you would want to avoid. My advice is to bring only things you're comfortable on, and only by luxury stuff since prices are stupidly the same. (If you are coming from north America or North-West Europe prices wouldn't be problem thou!)

Don't forget your sunglasses, and probably swim suite.

And by the way, Dubai is one of the rare places in Middle east u can were almost whatever, but the rest are more restrict, be careful.

About things u would expect, all I can say is there are many people and workers from different countries at Dubai, so its not that safe (any kind of thieves), of course I don't mean to insult them -just personal experience.

They usually speak English too, so there'll be no problem about that either.
