      Practical Information

      British nationals get a free 30 day Visa upon arrival in Dubai. If you want to stay a bit longer you can extend it by 30 days by visiting a UAE immigration office. You will have to pay an extension fee for this service, however. You also need a valid passport to visit the UAE. Your passport must be valid for six months after your arrival date, even if you're only planning on staying in the country for a few days. Although you can visit Dubai with an Israeli stamp on your passport, you may not be allowed to work there. If you have dual nationality and are British-Israeli you might be refused entry. If in doubt, speak to your local Emirati embassy. Some prescription drugs are restricted, and you need permission from the UAE Ministry of Health to bring them into the country.

      What to expect in Dubai

      Dubai is a lot less expensive than London, with a three course meal for two costing less than £30 on average. It's also a lot hotter than London, with summer temperatures regularly soaring above 36°C. Although Dubai is a glamorous city, it's still very religious. It's important to act respectful, especially during the month of Ramadan. This means no public displays of affection, no flashing your skin, and no public drunkenness. Electronic cigarettes are illegal, as is alcohol (although it is served in hotels and restaurants).
