Dubai is one of the favourites and most visited holiday destinations for Indians. It takes only 3 hours and 25 minutes to reach there. This city is known for its glamour, luxury shopping, and skyscrapers. The modern architecture and nightlife are another charm of Dubai. Not to miss Burj Khalifa and the artificial islands are amongst the popular tourists’ attractions. 

List of things to carry when you travel to Dubai 

Here are things you should carry for your holiday to Dubai:

  • Documents: Do not forget to carry your passport, air tickets, and visa. 
  • Medicines: Some drugs used in India are prohibited for use in Dubai. Check them and carry your medicines along with the prescription.
  • Gadgets and power banks: Carry your camera, glares, mobiles and of course the power bank for the time when your mobile runs out of battery.
  • Daily Essentials: If you are travelling with a baby or if food is your concern when outside, pack some light ready to eat food.
  • Travel Insurance Policy: The cost of medical treatment is very high in Dubai. Hence, for any urgent medical assistance, you will be spending more than usual. Buying a Travel Insurance policy is wise under conditions of:
  1. Medical Evacuation and Illness.
  2. Loss of belongings like money, passport, luggage, etc.
  3. Delay in flights.
  4. Cancellation costs for flight and hotel bookings. (t&c apply)
