Best Apps to Download Before your Visit to Dubai
Careem
Want a cab from the Dubai airport to your hotel or vice versa? Want to roam around the city in a car but don’t know where to book it? Well, there’s no need to worry when you have the Middle East’s Uber – Careem. Careem is a ride-sharing company just like Uber and happens to be one of the best apps to download before your visit to Dubai. So fire up the app, request a ride, check for the fare and get going. The prices are good, especially for short rides, and you can pay via both cash and card on your Dubai honeymoon package.
Wojhati
Are you someone who doesn’t want to splurge on transportation? If yes, then you must try Dubai’s public transportation. Dubai’s public transport is a five system network inclusive of Buses, Metro, Trams, Water Buses and Monorails. Wondering how to navigate through these systems? Easy, that’s where Wojhati comes into the picture. Wojhati is an official service provided by Dubai’s Roads & Transports Authority, where you can find timetables and suggestions on which transport to take to reach your destination in no time. It surely comes in handy when you’re planning to take public transport. This app is definitely a must before your visit to Dubai.
Talabat
I’m sure when you’re on your vacation, you’ll be exhausted after an entire day of sightseeing that you won’t have the energy to go out to eat. And on those days, ordering-in and eating while staying in your room sounds more exciting, doesn’t it? Although you could order-in room service, there’s still a much better idea. For this, you should have the Talabat app downloaded on your phone. Yes, this app lets order some mouth-watering food from your favourite restaurant while relaxing in your room. So, before anyone gets hangry, you better have this app ready on your phone. It is definitely one of the best apps to download before your visit to Dubai
TenguGo app in Dubai
Have you ever been worried that you might get lost somewhere and not understand the local’s language? Or maybe you just wanted to learn their language. Whatever the reason, maybe, if you want to be familiar with the Arabic language and learn the basics before you set foot in there, then you must download the TenguGo app. Now, don’t get me wrong, Emiratis speak English, and you’ll have no problem getting by in English. But, if you want to pick up some basic local words to bond with the locals or understand their culture, then make sure to download the app. Trust me, it’s one of the best apps to download before your visit to Dubai.
VisitDubai app
They say, “Information is power”. I totally agree, especially, when you’re in an unknown country, you must have all the necessary information to get by during your vacation. And when in Dubai, the best way to source all this information is through the Visit Dubai app. The Visit Dubai app is the official app from Dubai’s tourism department. This app should be your first stop before you even visit the city. It contains a wealth of information from details on sights and attractions to what’s happening around the city through things tourists shouldn’t do when visiting Dubai to currency exchange. You’ll find everything in the app and I guess that’s why it’s one of the best apps to download before your visit to Dubai.
Dubai Calendar app
Yet another app to download before your visit to Dubai is the Dubai Calendar. Dubai is home to not just architectural wonders, shopping malls, and restaurants but also to festivals, concerts, and temporary exhibitions. And especially if something as famous as the Dubai Summer Surprise festival takes place at the time of your visit, then you must be aware of it. So, there’s no better way to find out than the Dubai Calendar. The Dubai Calendar is also an official app launched by the Department of Tourism to give you a one-stop resource on all the activities happening in Dubai.
