These are mainly Dubai Tips
1. No car? Swear by Dubai's Nol card! Stop off at new places and take a look around. You could find the next amazing view.

2. Penny pincher? There are numerous monthly flea markets with second-hand or never-before used items at better prices. Also, online deals websites.

3. Friendless? Seriously, use ExpatBlog to find people just like you and you could find your next best friends. Plenty of lonely bloggers to spare.

4. Need to unwind? Parks, beaches, museums, markets/souks, libraries, spas, malls, restaurants, hotels, cinema movies, theater plays or musicals, swimming pools, ice-skating, theme parks, gyms, safaris, nearby Emirates, limo rides and so much more to do here.

5. Lost? Ask for directions from people around you. You'll be satisfied to know people are quite helpful here.
