Destination & City Travel Guide
About Dubai
Dubai is easiest to understand by crossing its creek. Al Fahidi preserves lanes and courtyard houses on the Bur Dubai side, while Deira has the Gold and Spice Souks. Farther south, beaches and newer districts change the scale of a day out. For travellers from India, the city also has extensive family and business links. Dubai International Airport sits close to the older centre, and the Red Line connects two of its terminals to the urban rail network.

Tips for travellers from India
Bur Dubai makes a practical base for Al Fahidi and creek crossings, with Karama nearby for South Asian restaurants. A Dubai Marina hotel instead favours the waterfront and beach districts, which are a substantial distance from the older souks. The Red Line serves airport Terminals 1 and 3, so accommodation near that line can simplify arrival. Terminal 2 needs a road connection; do not choose a hotel transfer on the assumption that every terminal has its own metro platform.
Use the RTA’s Nol system for metro and bus travel, and check the fare zones for longer trips between the creek and Marina. An abra between Bur Dubai and Deira is part of the old-city route, rather than a substitute for a longer sightseeing cruise. Pair Al Fahidi with the Bur Dubai waterfront, then cross to the Gold and Spice Souks. Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa area deserve another block of time instead of a rushed detour between markets. A flight marketed by Emirates may involve a partner carrier, so the operating airline and terminal on the booking determine where to check in. Dubai World Central is a separate airport southwest of the city, not another terminal at Dubai International.
Best time to visit Dubai
November to March, usually about 18–30°C, for creek walks and beaches.

How to reach Dubai
By Air: Dubai International Airport (DXB) is about 5 km from the older city centre; allow roughly 15–30 minutes by road. The Metro Red Line serves Terminals 1 and 3, with buses and taxis at the airport.

By Road: RTA buses serve the city; intercity buses connect Dubai with Sharjah and Abu Dhabi.

Cross Dubai Creek by abra between Bur Dubai and Deira.

About Addis Ababa
Addis Ababa spreads across a high plateau, so even a short walk can feel different from one at sea level. The National Museum introduces Ethiopia’s archaeological record, while the Ethnological Museum sits within the former imperial palace grounds. Mercato and Shiro Meda offer contrasting market visits, and Entoto gives wider views over the capital. Travellers from India often arrive on flights that connect onward across Africa, but the city deserves a planned stop rather than only an airport transfer.

What's new in Addis Ababa
- December 2025: Ethiopian Airlines opened a new premium lounge at Bole Airport, adding facilities for passengers eligible for lounge access.
- May 2026: Adwa Business and Transport Terminal opened in Piazza, creating a new transport and commercial facility in the historic centre.
Tips for travellers from India
Bole is convenient for an airport-focused overnight stay, while Piazza places the older central streets closer. The National Museum and the Ethnological Museum need separate visits, with the latter situated within former palace grounds. Mercato is a large trading district, not a compact museum forecourt, so it deserves a planned route rather than a quick stop with airport luggage.
Entoto is above the city and makes a distinct uphill excursion. A first day after arrival can instead stay with the museum district before adding higher viewpoints. Shiro Meda is a useful focus for textiles and fits a different shopping purpose from Mercato’s broader trading activity. If an Ethiopian Airlines connection includes hotel accommodation, use the carrier’s actual transfer arrangement rather than booking an unrelated city ride. Bole’s international and domestic operations can require different departure formalities, making the onward flight type important for the return. The city’s altitude also makes a museum-led first day a gentler introduction than immediately combining long market walks with an Entoto excursion.
Best time to visit Addis Ababa
October to February, roughly 9–24°C, for generally drier walks.
