Visitors Information

Before visiting any attractions in the UAE, it’s important to prepare accordingly to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Dress codes may apply at religious or cultural sites such as Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, where modest attire is required. Tickets for popular attractions like the Burj Khalifa often sell out quickly, so booking in advance is highly recommended. Many attractions also offer skip-the-line options for a faster entry.

Transportation options are plentiful, with taxis, metro systems, and private car rentals widely available. For outdoor experiences like desert safaris, confirm meeting points and timings with your tour provider in advance. Always carry water and sun protection, especially during the warmer months, to stay comfortable during your explorations.
