Solo travel experience
Dubai is super safe for a woman. I walked at night and felt very safe, there were even taxis (Pink Taxis) which are exclusively for women only. There’s so much to see and do, an epic experience, and highly recommend it. My highlights were the Burj Khalifa, Dancing Fountain, Wild Wadi Waterpark, and skydiving at Skydive Dubai.

I went to Dubai by myself. I really loved the place, it’s safe and doable for a solo traveler. Did a desert safari, went up to the Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, and ate a lot of food. I had an amazing time.

I went to Dubai alone and had a wonderful time. It is very modern with lots of travelers. I signed up for several fun tours that I did with others. I did a boat tour of the city and also did a desert safari which was epic. I felt very safe the whole time.

Interesting Dubai, mix of culture and modern - went to see the Burj Kahlifa, Abu Dhabi, the desert and the local souk. Enjoyed some great food in beautiful places. I went with my partner, visiting friends, and we had a great time

I was in Dubai last year alone and it’s the safest I’ve ever felt, even at night I had no problem walking around the marina at 11 pm - I used Kareem which is their version of Uber and everyone was super polite and helpful.

It’s important to plan everything in advance to don’t miss out anything in the calendar, it’s fundamental to have a car to move around otherwise just taxi around might be a bit pricier

I went solo for a week. There are a lot of good hotels and the main form of transportation is subway or taxi. Must do’s: Top of Burj Khalifa, Desert Safari, Global village, Dubai old town (you must dress accordingly), La Mer and Jumeirah beach.

We have a metro system that runs along the main road that dissects the city (Sheikh Zayed Road). The suburb where the Museum of the Future is located is predominantly a business district. We’re not a massive walking city, but are seeing improvements on this with walking tracks starting to pop up. I’d recommend accommodation in either Downtown, Marina or the Palm (although downtown is literally two stops on the metro from the museum). Taxis are ridiculously cheap also.

When I was in Dubai, I stayed in Dubai downtown, and the Burj Khalifa was very close from where I stayed. I did the top of the Burj Khalifa and saw the Dubai fountain show. For the museum of future I booked my ticket in advance. I used uber to commute and it was easy.

Dubai is incredibly safe. I went in July and it was very hot (52C!). Stayed in a hotel in the city. I went to the atlantis water park, green planet, brunch, the mall and the museum of the future. I would have liked to have gone into the desert, but didn't have time.

About me
Hi, I’m Ivy and I like traveling, may it be, solo, with friends or family but I think, I enjoy solo traveling more as it allows me to discover more about myself and it really is, a unique experience. I don’t know about you, but it feels more empowering and liberating to me and the possibilities are endless. I’m planning a trip to Italy and Croatia in June and I would love to find a travel buddy for a change. Hope to meet you on one of my trips :) Cheers!
