Travel tips
Quick local advice for smoother arrivals and day-to-day travel.
1
The UAE VAT refund can be surprisingly worthwhile on big shopping: ask the retailer to register your purchase for tax refund, then validate/claim at the airport via kiosks/counters (keep your passport, receipts, and purchases accessible).
2
For Dubai transit, a nol card is the simplest way to pay across metro/tram/bus. Top up at ticket offices or vending machines (and note that online/app top-ups can require a short activation wait before the balance appears on the card).
