48h in Dubai and Kuwait City


Today I bring you a post about my brief visit to the Middle East. I went to Dubai  a couple of days for work and took the opportunity to make an express visit to Kuwait on the way to Saudi Arabia. But I will talk about Saudi Arabia on a next post, not to over saturate you guys. The truth is that I did not have the opportunity to visit much, but I could take some impressions that may be useful if you plan to visit this region.

Hoy os traigo un post sobre mi breve visita a Oriente Medio. Tuve que ir a Dubai por trabajo un par de días y aproveché para hacer un visita relámpago a Kuwait de camino a Arabia Saudí. Pero el post sobre Arabia Saudí lo dejo para un poco más adelante, para no saturar en exceso esta entrada en el blog.  La verdad es que no tuve ocasión de visitar mucho, pero si pude llevarme algunas impresiones que os pueden ser útiles si planeáis visitar esta región.



It was the first time I was traveling to the Middle East, and I really excited to visit this part of the world. I think that Dubai is a good first contact with the Arab world, because it is a very cosmopolitan city and the most similar, saving distances, to a European city. While the tag code is strictly governed by Islam, the use of Muslim clothing is not mandatory and you will see many foreigners in shorts or tops both in the street and in shopping centers.

Era la primera vez que viajaba a Oriente Medio, y tenía muchísimas ganas de conocer esta parte del mundo.  Creo que Dubai es una buena primera toma de contacto con el mundo árabe, porque es una ciudad muy cosmopolita y lo más similar, salvando las distancias, a una ciudad europea. Aquí, Si bien el código de etiqueta está estrictamente regido por el islam, el uso de vestimenta musulmana no es obligatoria y verás a muchísimos extranjeros en shorts o tops tanto en la calle como en centros comerciales.




Although alcohol or pork products cannot be offered to any Muslim, in Dubai, unlike in other Arab countries, you can buy alcohol in restaurants. It is also not well seen to hug or kiss in public. On the other hand, everything can be paid by card, so we didn't need to change money. Uber works very well and we used it for everything. You have to keep in mind that those are not cheap countries, because people here have a very high standard of living.

Aunque no se puede ofrecerle alcohol o productos derivados del cerdo a ningún musulmán, en Dubai,  al contrario que en el resto de países árabes, puedes adquirir alcohol en los restaurantes. Tampoco está bien visto abrazar o besar en público. Por otro lado, se puede pagar todo con tarjeta, por lo que no necesitamos cambiar dinero. Uber funciona super bien y es el medio de transporte que utilizamos. Sí que tienes que tener en cuenta que no son países baratos, porque la gente aquí tiene un nivel de vida muy alto.




We stayed at the Vida Downtown hotel, very well located for visiting the city. We went to the Dubai Mall, the largest mall in the world (it even has a huge aquarium and an ice rink). In these countries, they spend a lot of time in shopping centers. On the one hand, because temperatures reach 50 degrees and you can not be on the street and, on the other, because buying is one of its main entertainment. Especially in Kuwait, where they are more strict with religion and there are not many more forms of fun. From this mall you can admire the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khlaifa, and also enjoy the fountain of Dubai and its show that they say surpasses that of the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas.

Nos alojamos en el hotel Vida Downtown, super bien situado para visitar la ciudad. Fuimos al Dubai Mall, el centro comercial más grande del mundo (cuenta incluso con un enorme acuario y una pista de hielo). En estos países, pasan mucho tiempo en los centros comerciales. Por un lado, porque las temperaturas alcanzan los 50 grados y no se puede estar en la calle y, por otro, porque comprar es uno de sus principales entretenimientos. Sobre todo en Kuwait, donde son más estrictos con la religión y no hay muchas más formas de diversión. Desde este centro comercial podéis admirar el edificio más alto del mundo, el Burj Khlaifa. Aquí también podéis disfrutar de la fuente de Dubai y su show que dicen supera al de las Fuentes del Bellagio de Las Vegas.




In the evening we went to a Lebanese restaurant in Madinat Jumeirah, a miniature Arab city within Dubai, which also more than 50 restaurants and nightclubs. From the souk inside this city, we traveled its five-kilometer river in one of its traditional or open boats to the restaurant. If you say that you are staying at the city hotel, the journey is free.

Por la noche fuimos a cenar a un libanés en Madinat Jumeirah, es una ciudad árabe en miniatura dentro de Dubái, que además cuenta con más de 50 restaurantes y locales nocturnos. Desde el zoco recorrimos su rio de cinco kilómetros en una de sus embarcaciones tradicionales o abras hasta el restaurante. Si dices que estás alojado en el hotel de la ciudad el trayecto es gratuito.




From here we went to Kuwait where we spent a few hours before going to Riyadh. We saw its financial center with where its famous liberation tower and its largest (and second largest in the Middle East) The Avenues shopping center. A shopping center with more than 800 stores and parking spaces for 10,000 cars. Here you can find all kinds of brands, from low cost to luxury brands.

De aquí nos fuimos a Kuwait donde pasámos escasa horas antes de ir a Riad. Vimos su centro financiero con donde está su fámosa torre de la liberación y su centro comercial más grande (y segundo más grande de todo Oriente Medio) The Avenues. Un centro comercial con más de 800 tiendas y plazas de parking para 10.000 coches. Aquí podrás encontrar todo tipo de marcas, desde low cost hasta marcas de gran lujo.




I hope you found it interesting and soon I will bring you a post about my brief stay in Saudi Arabia. Happy week!

Espero que os haya parecido interesante y en breve os traeré un post sobre mi breve estancia en Arabia Saudí. Feliz semana!
