Well last Wednesday my company has sent me to Dubai to do a business meeting . Dubai I may say is really nice place to stay. I arrived in airport without any VISA but since I am an Engineer and a GCC Resident, They were able to give me a VISA. You just have to pay 100 DHS. I stayed at Crown Plaza Hotel ( A very good place to Stay ) The following items are some tips when traveling Dubai

• If you are traveling from a GCC countries you should bring your country ID. ( i.e. Iqama for those working in Saudi Arabia ) so that you can easily be issued a Visa upon arrival.
• Visa will cost you 100 DHS
• Bring an adopter for your convenience ( I had some problem in getting this one for my laptop and PDA )
• Dubai Airport is equipped with Internet Kiosk where you can check your email there is only one thing that needs to be highlighted here , Internet connection does not have capability of browsing Java enabled site.
• The city has a heavy traffic and it needs time to reach airport specially in the afternoon
• There are lots of people coming and going to DUBAI it take time to pass the immigration so you better adjust your time preparation for your flight.
• Dubai has an area called Media City or Internet City
• As of now there is a heavy Construction of High Rise Buildings.
• The cost of living in Dubai is high.
• If you are a resident of GCC countries you will be able to use your roaming phones. When I was there , I have seen on my mobile the signal is coming form ETISALAT and Du

I do hope that this information will help some of the Internet readers researching and thinking of going to Dubai.
