Chapter One
Notes from us, on Dubai & Abu Dhabi
Things we’d tell a friend before they booked. Specific, opinionated, occasionally inconvenient.
i.
Palm or Downtown — pick one, don’t split.
Traffic between the two is 40–60 minutes in the evening. Families with kids want the Palm or JBR (beach, water parks, no commuting). Couples and business travellers want Downtown. Splitting a 4-night trip across both wastes a day in taxis.
Honeymoon: Palm. Kids under 10: JBR. Meetings: Downtown or Business Bay.
ii.
Book the Burj Khalifa and Atlantis Aquaventure before you fly.
Hotel concierges mark these up and weekend slots sell out. We add them to your booking at park rates. Desert safari: don’t book the cheapest one. The decent operators cost a few times more and the difference is enormous.
Ask us for the safari operator we actually use.
iii.
Indian food is everywhere. Jain and pure-veg needs a note.
Every major hotel here has an Indian chef or an Indian restaurant nearby. Jain, no-onion-garlic and pure-veg are routine requests — but they need to be in the booking, not mentioned at check-in. We put it in writing with the hotel.
Breakfast buffets at the big resorts have full Indian counters.

Chapter Two
Where to stay in Dubai & Abu Dhabi
The area decides the holiday. Pick one, then we pick the hotel.
Yes. We process the e-visa through our partner (2–4 working days for a standard tourist visa) and bundle it into the same invoice as the hotel.
Is Dubai expensive for a family of four?
It can be, but off-peak (May–September) rates at Palm and JBR resorts drop 40–60%, and breakfast-inclusive rates make a real difference with kids. Tell us your dates and budget; we will say honestly whether it fits.
Can we get a GST invoice for an international hotel?
Yes — Samyati invoices you in India in INR with GST, for the hotel and any add-ons we book. This is the main reason corporate travellers book Dubai through us rather than a foreign OTA.
Which is better for first-timers — Dubai or Abu Dhabi?
Dubai, with one or two nights in Abu Dhabi if you have five or more nights. Abu Dhabi alone is quieter and better for a second visit.
