Telephone number of Consulates in Dubai!!
by 37SingleMaleInDubai1
When travelling to another country its much better to have the contact detail of the embassy/consulate of your native country with you, even have it handy in case. Hopefully you wouldn't need it and will leave U.A.E with good memories :-)

You Gotta Bring Shades in Gold Souk
by rachelleiris
I am sooo not a gold addict. But when I set foot in Gold Souk, I was mesmerized like anything! Everything is just shining, shimmering, splendid – as if it’s a totally whole new world altogether! They come in different shapes and sizes (Even a shirt is made of pure gold… that any girl who wears it would need proper back support!).
So even if you’re not planning on buying any gold when you visit Dubai, I still think it’s worth a visit. Just make sure you bring your shades because certainly, everything that glimmers in Gold Souk is gold (..and white gold.. and silver.. and emerald.. and ruby.. and what-not!) This is one place where you can practice your bargaining skills.
Aussie Fun Pub
by chizz about Bidi Bondi
Bidi Bondi is a fun place to hang out to have a drink and a meal with friends. Located on the Palm Jumeirah, the place has an Aussie sports bar vibe. It has an outdoor terrace and swimming pool area too. Open 10am-12 midnight daily. Here's the link for the menu:

Noticed that prices are reasonable. Casual
The Aquatic Taxis of Dubai... (ABRA)
by JessH
Dubai's waterfront epitomizes the city's personality, and a cruise along the 10km-long Creek is the best way to witness the clashing of the historically old & the new modernity.
It costs 1 Dhs (Dirham) to cross the creek, or you can hire the boat for only yourself/your group & pay Dhs 10.-
Many people use Abras to go to work, as they are cheaper than taxis or buses & avoid the ever-increasing traffic on the 2 bridges & 1 tunnel that enable you to cross the creek (Shindagha Tunnel, Maktoum Bridge & Garhoud Bridge).
The boats seat up to 30 people and fill up quickly. Be careful as you really do NOT want to fall into the creek... it is not the cleanest of waters! Crossing from to the other side takes about 5-10 minutes.
TIP: Most Abra drivers are now also cashing-in on the massive flow of tourists that want a more "private" experience during a creek cruise. They will take you up and down the creek for about 1 hour, a great opportunity for some gorgeous photographs of the city. The price for this should not exceed Dhs 80.- Anything more & you are being ripped-off.
(1 US Dollar = 3.67 Dirhams.)
There are several Abra stations along the creek,
but the main points are located near the Gold Souk (Deira), near the Rivoli Building (Deira) and near the Textile Souk/HSBC Building (Bur Dubai). There are very useful tourist maps (see picture) at the Abra stations, and the main stations have been rennovated for passenger safety. There is also a Tourist Information Counter near Bur Dubai Abra station.
MEN: Please try to not sit exactly next to a woman on a full Abra. Respect this gender-seperated society & let women sit next to women. You'll notice that even if the Abra is very full, men will try to leave a gap between themselves and a woman.
News Article: http://www.gulfnews.com/nation/Traffic_and_Transport/10098380.html
--> There are also Water 'Buses' that are airconditioned & seat approx. 25 people. One crossing with the bus costs Dhs 4 (one-way).
