Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to your travel queries about the UAE and our services.

Visa requirements for entering the United Arab Emirates vary significantly based on your nationality, the purpose of your visit (tourism, business, transit), and the intended duration of your stay. Citizens of many countries are eligible for a visa on arrival, either for 30 or 90 days. Others may need to apply for a visa in advance through an airline, a hotel, or a registered travel agency like Gulf Horizons Tourism LLC. We strongly recommend checking the latest official regulations based on your specific passport and contacting us for personalized assistance if you require visa processing support to ensure compliance and a smooth entry.

Booking your tours, activities, accommodations, and transportation services in advance is highly recommended, especially if you are travelling during the peak tourist season (typically from October to April) or if you are interested in popular, high-demand experiences like specific desert safaris, theme park visits during holidays, or luxury yacht charters. To ensure availability and potentially secure better rates, we advise booking key components of your trip at least 2 to 4 weeks prior to your planned travel dates. For MICE services or highly customized packages, more advance notice is beneficial.

The UAE is a diverse and welcoming country that blends traditional Islamic culture with modern international influences. While generally liberal for tourists, it's advisable to show respect for local customs. Dressing modestly is appreciated, particularly in public places like malls and souks, and is required when visiting religious sites like mosques. Public displays of affection should be limited. During the holy month of Ramadan, there are specific considerations regarding eating and drinking in public during fasting hours. Our practical travel tips resource provides more detailed guidance on cultural etiquette to help you navigate respectfully and confidently.

The UAE boasts excellent transportation infrastructure. In Dubai and Abu Dhabi, you can utilize efficient metro systems (Dubai Metro), extensive bus networks, and readily available taxis. Ride-sharing apps like Uber and Careem are also widely used. For inter-city travel, buses are available, or private car hire offers more flexibility. Gulf Horizons Tourism LLC can also arrange private airport transfers, chauffeur services, and vehicle rentals to ensure comfortable and convenient movement throughout your trip, tailored to your group size and itinerary.
