Don’t you agree with the fact that traveling is much more than visiting places and clicking pictures? A good traveler has no fixed plans. Just pack your bags, get the passport sealed and board a flight to feel the sportive and adventurous spirit. You may travel to other countries but there’s so much to discover in Dubai. Each destination has many stories to tell but Dubai has something more than stories and experience. Travelia Holidays welcomes you to the lavish and exotic world of Dubai and its mesmerizing locations where every travel enthusiast should visit.

1. BURJ KHALIFA

Think of Dubai and the first thing which strikes is the tallest structure in the world “BURJ KHALIFA”. Visitors are invited to ride the elevator to the 124th floor for breathtaking city vistas extending all the way out to the Persian Gulf. Special telescopes also show scenes of the city from different points in time, allowing you to experience every stage of Dubai’s history. You can also travel higher to the 148th floor, the world’s highest observation deck, but it costs extra. It is one of the crucial items to explore in Dubai.

2. JUMERIRAH BEACH

Ancient Dubai was deprived from water but modern Dubai has beaches and water bodies all around. So, if you are a water sport enthusiast, then it’s the right choice for you. Jumeirah Beach is also equipped with a children’s playground and plenty of barbecue spots and picnic areas. Just make sure you come early as the area grows steadily more crowded throughout the day.

TIP: Always carry a bottled water and sunscreen lotion as sun rays are strong which can cause dehydration.

3. JUMEIRAH MOSQUE

 The architectural style of Dubai lies in the Jumeirah Mosque of Islam’s Fatimid period. Like other mosques in Dubai, non-Muslims are also invited inside at Jumeirah mosque. The eye-relaxing decor featuring detailed painted panels against bright blue and yellow background make it much more mesmerizing. The mosque has a traditional dress code to be followed by every tourist. If any tourist has no traditional attire then the mosque authorities provides the same. Even if you’re not religious, travelers strongly recommend a visit to this attraction for its educational value and cultural significance.

What One should know About Boarding Processes:

Every traveler is required to have an OTB status for traveling to Dubai. OTB is an abbreviation of OK to Board. It is nothing but an airline requisite. So, providing your written valid PNR is necessary while you are submitting your application. This process requires a minimum of forty-eight hours after the valid visa is being issued. It becomes one of the prime responsibilities of the applicants to verify their OTB status with the airlines concerned approximately forty-eight hours before departure.

There are some special airlines that demand the passengers, particularly traveling from countries in the Asian subcontinent, to possess an Ok to Board approval in order to be approved for travel. This is especially obligatory for people visiting Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Dubai and also the ones whose visa is sponsored as well as issued in the UAE. Precisely, all Indian passport holders require this OTB when they are travelling to Dubai.
