William asks…

Why would any player, team doctor, journalist or fan even consider traveling to Dubai for the Club World Cup?

Why isn't there a boycott yet? A fan would have to be an idiot to consider going to the UAE, never mind the clubs, which have medical staffs who have to dispense pain-killing and therapeutic drugs to players all the time.

admin answers:

I see. I have personally boycotted dubai.

i am pregnant and travelling to uk on visitor's visa. How can i get a medical certificate from a doctor in uk to travel back from London to Dubai. The airlines requires a Medical fitness certificate issued by a Doctor not before 7 days of travel.

admin answers:

There are lots of 'walk in clinics' in London. Check out:

Nancy asks…

what is an Attested Doctors letter to carry medications while travelling?

I know Ill need a letter from my doctor to carry with my prescriptions while travelling through Dubai and Brunei but whats it mean when they ask for an Attestted certified letter? If the letter is an original I dont understand what it means to have it attested as well?

admin answers:

You should carry a letter (preferably on official letterhead from the hospital/clinic/doctor) that states what medical condition you have, what medicines you are on to treat it. The doctor should sign it and include his/her name, contact information and licensing information.

You can then take that letter to have it notarised (attested) at the UAE Embassy where you are from (I believe this is the last step). It's basically a stamp of authenticity.

Remember there are some banned drug items and you may also not bring in more than 3 months supply. Check with the Embassy to be sure before you travel.

Daniel asks…

Traveling to Dubai, what to bring?

I'm going to Dubai in January, what will the temperature/humidity be like?
What should I bring with me (type of clothing, converter for electronics, etc)?
Do I need notes from my doctor for my medications?

admin answers:

The weather is so nice here in dubai during Jan, not too cold and not hot at all, just perfect! Over here, we use the same plug as in UK with the same voltage.

If you are coming in Jan, you will be in the Dubai Shopping Festival. So maybe you dont need to bring much clothes, just bring lots of money! :)

Susan asks…

How many days are needed to see dubai?

hey...my sister is coming home for a short 2 week break and we have one weekend to go somewhere. one of my cousins is living there. my parents are doctors so we could manage a 3 day trip (including travel days) max. All the good travel people help please...

admin answers:

Dubai is a modern place, dont bother going to museum or zoo and stuff.

Spend a whole day in Desert Safari. It is amazing, a Land Cruiser will take to the desert up the hills on a thrilling ride then u can ride a camel or go motorbiking on desert (4wheel bikes) then u will sit on a camp, watch a belly dancer perform, u can also join her :D, and get henna on ur hands and etc and at the end enjoy a fancy dinner buffet.

Next day, go to Atlantis, recently opened, has water park, diving with dophins, aquarium... This is a bit expensive and it depens on ur budget.
So I recommend, for saving money, go to Wild Wadi water park, and u will love it. Next to wild wadi is Jumeirah Beach where U can see Burj-al-Arab, tallest hotel in the world, dont bother going inside(waste of money and time), cause there isnt anything fancy, just take some shots from outside. The hotel is 7 stared and good for staying but has nothing amazing on the lobby to see!! It is just a Lobby!!!

Last day, just go for shopping, I recommend, Mall of the Emirates (u can spend a whole day and also see the ski dubai) or Festival Center. If u shop from Top brands like Cartier, YSL and Saks Fifth so go to Burjman Center. If u dont want shopping, go to Madinat Jumeirah, it is a shopping center but has all the old antique stuff, nice cool place to chill. Many high-classed ppl hang out there and the cafes are a bit more expensive (but worth it ) u can then go for a nice dinner and do Shisha (must do in dubai hehe) and then go to a night club, cause dubai's nightlife is also famous.

But remember, u will be exhausted doing all this, so plan ur trip nicely. Good Luck
