郭润龙浪迹天涯20230222 morning: 1. The "Abra wooden boat" is a means of crossing the "Dubai River". The Grand Transportation can take 20 people, 1 dirham per person, equivalent to RMB 1.9 yuan. The Dubai River divides Dubai city into two parts: Deira in the east and Bur Dubai in the west. ① Address: Both sides of the Dubai River, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. ② Transportation: Direct bus access, driving is not very good. ③ Popular season: No. ④ Time: If only 6 minutes across the river, you can also charter a boat to swim and charge according to time. ⑤ Note: When getting off the boat, avoid more people on one side and less people on the other side, and it will be easy to overturn the boat. 2. The boatman controls the engine in the middle of the boat. There are about 10 people sitting on each side of the boat. Two rows of passengers are back to back. It feels very warm. 6 minutes is very short, to hurry to enjoy the Arab architecture on both sides of the Straits, the fishing boats, shops, docks on the shore, people vaguely feel the medieval Middle East along the river prosperity of the commodity market, if there is a camel, it will be more perfect. 3, in order to take pictures, it is recommended to sit in the bow, selfie can take a variety of skin color, clothing passengers together into the frame, but also more convenient to take unobstructed photos of the future boats and shore scenery. Attachment: UAE travel tips ① Currency: In exchange rate, USD/UAE dirham/RMB =100/370/700 (just about the value, there will be changes every day), it is recommended to exchange US dollars or dirhams in China, because the exchange loss of the profitable exchange point of Dubai Airport is too large. Going to the local area to get RMB for Dirham will be a huge loss. ② Shopping: Regular shopping malls can directly swipe domestic UnionPay cards, and the central bank will directly calculate the exchange rate and deduct the amount corresponding to RMB. But small shops may not be able to swipe UnionPay cards. ③ Price: Very expensive, relatively speaking, supermarkets and fast food are only twice as expensive as domestic ones, which is relatively acceptable. ④ Transportation: Renting is expensive, the bus is relatively cheap, and the bus will be divided into male and female areas; parking should be careful when driving, and the fine for violations is very painful. ⑤ Accommodation: The price is about 5 times that of similar hotels in China. ⑥ Ramadan: Try to avoid traveling in Ramadan, or you have to sneak when you eat. The date of Ramadan changes every year. ⑦ Language: Basically speaking English. ⑧ Fee: If you are poor, you can only travel with a group tour. If you have shopping points, you can drop to an average of 1,000 yuan per day. ⑨ Entry and exit: UAE landing visa, no nucleic acid is required; nucleic acid is required to return to China, and the cost of different testing institutions is between 30-170 dirham. Different nucleic acid policies will change. ⑩ Communications: When landing, you will get a 5G phone card at the customs, and a free 1G traffic; you can also open international roaming on your domestic mobile phone number, but the network speed is a bit slow. ⑪ History: The UAE is composed of seven emirates, of which the capitals Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah are the largest, with a local population of 10 million and 90% of the foreign population.
