Comment on Best Time to Visit the Burj Khalifa: Ultimate Planning Guide 2026 by Al Nahda Centre

Visiting the Burj Khalifa at sunset is usually the most memorable because you can see the city during daylight and then watch it light up at night. But if you want a quieter experience with fewer crowds, going early in the morning can be a better choice. Planning the timing really makes the visit more enjoyable.

Comment on Experience the Beautiful Quranic Park Dubai by Royal Matrixs

I recently learned about the Glass House in Quranic Park Dubai, and I must say it’s such a unique and inspiring place. The way it showcases Quranic plants like olives, figs, and pomegranates while promoting sustainability and education is truly remarkable. It’s not just a tourist spot but also a space for reflection, learning, and family outings. Definitely a must-visit for anyone who wants to experience a blend of spirituality, culture, and nature in Dubai.

In reply to Olivia. I'm afraid the only 'Whisper' we can think of is a mattress company here in Dubai!

Comment on Emirates Dubai Connect For DXB Long Layover Passengers by Dubai Travel Planner

In reply to Rah.

Emirates runs a service for business class passengers over to Le Meridien so it depends if you need to wait for a few other passengers in a van, or if they’ll take you in their own chauffer car. Its only 5-10 minute drive over the other side of the freeway from the airport.
If you stay in the airport, business class passengers and Gold Skywards can use the Emirates own-branded lounge would be best. From memory, there are only a few ‘nap pod’ recliner chairs, but its vast, so several quieter corners and working pods that are pretty cosy can be found too.

Great article. Two questions. How long does it take from terminal 3 to meridian. If I decide to access the business class lounge inside terminal 3 which one is the best? And do they have recliners to rest?

In reply to Karen. Our understanding is you need this when you start your last journey, so you do not exceed the maximum fare for that trip.

If you need to keep 7.50 on your NOL card does that mean you have to have 7.50 unused on it at the end of your Dubai trip or can you use the 7.50 on your last public transport trip?

In reply to Peter. Hi Peter, each passenger over 5 years old needs their own Nol card to go through the gates at Metro stations, unfortunately there's no card sharing.

In reply to Ali. We do not known the exact consequences, but given traveling on public transport without a valid ticket is against the law anywhere in the world, why would you do it? Even a tourist can be fined for breaking the law. If you have an outstanding fine on leaving the UAE you will be held by border police until payment is made - we understand cash and credit card payment are accepted. If you cannot pay, a travel ban can be applied. Simply put, don't break any laws in Dubai as consequences can be severe.
