Stay Safe in the Sandy Paradise of the Scintillating Emirates

Travelling in the Arabian Peninsula nation of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is an experience, which combines the old and the new. While Dubai offers modern living, Sharjah is a glimpse in the artsy heritage. Quaint Ajman stands in stark contrast to the capital of Abu Dhabi.

As you explore the divine lands of the UAE, don’t forget to opt for travel insurance. A good travel insurance plan covers you for medical and non-medical emergencies of any kind on trip. ICICI Lombard offers comprehensive travel insurance plans, which are available online, are easy to purchase, and even offer coverage with no medical tests up to 85 years of age.

Since the UAE has its own set of customs, traditions, and laws in place, it is advisable to opt for international travel insurance when visiting the country. ICICI Lombard’s Travel Insurance Policies are available in different specifications, depending on the purpose. For example, the Senior Citizen Travel Insurance Plan is designed to suit the needs of senior citizens. The Gold Multi Trip Travel Insurance can be availed by frequent travellers for stress-free travel of a specified duration.

Things to Do in UAE

  • Be Atop The World The entire city of Dubai can be viewed from the observation deck on Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. Called ‘At the Top’, the observation deck on the skyscraper’s 124th floor gives a panoramic view of the city. Multi-media presentations about the history and construction of the structure play as you go up and down the building.
Burj Khalifa
  • Visit The Fort: Standing tall above the rocky mound of Fujairah’s old village, the Fujairah Fort is a splendid sight, especially when it is floodlit at night. A compact arrangement of circular and square towers, it was built for defence from mud, gravel, wood, and gypsum in the 16th century. Every morning, the caretaker can let you in through the heavy teak door, so you can enjoy the view from the inside.
Dubai Mall
  • Discover the Desert : An Abu Dhabi Desert Safari in a vintage Land Rover can be booked as a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. The safari ends with al fresco dining in Bedouin-inspired tents, complete with Emirati hospitality and entertainment. The night is enlivened with traditional music and dance, cooking demonstrations, and henna tattooing. This safari can even be booked as a private tour, to be enjoyed with your family.
Atlantis Hotel
  • Relax at the Waterfront Stretching along the north-west shore of the city, the Abu Dhabi Corniche is a gorgeous expanse of sandy beaches. With walking and cycling spaces, gardens, and eateries, this is the best recreation space in Abu Dhabi. The waterfront also comes alive at night, with sheesha bars to relax and unwind.
Desert Safari
  • Marvel at the Mosque The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is the resting place of the first president of the UAE, Sheikh Zayed. Open to non-Muslims visitors too, this mosque can accommodate 41000 worshippers. This impressive architectural masterpiece boasts of 80 marble domes, over 1000 pillars, and four 107m-high minarets.
Desert Safari
  • Explore the Emirati Heritage The five galleries of the Sharjah Heritage museum display aspects of Arabic traditions, holidays, customs, rituals, local life, ceremonies, and medicine. The museum has been curated in a way to demystify Emirati cultures and traditions for tourists. With original artefacts and English panelling, this museum is a tourist delight.
Desert Safari
  • Shop all day You can shop till you drop in the UAE. Dubai Mall, with 1200 stores, 150 food outlets, indoor theme parks, and an ice rink, is the world's largest shopping mall. You can find an extensive collection of jewels in the gold souq (market) in Abu Dhabi’s Madinat Zayed Shopping & Gold Centre. Mega Mall in Sharjah is much smaller, with only 150 shops, but is open all hours, and comes with a theme park and a multiplex cinema

Saroj Sanghvi

I booked my travel insurance to the UAE online with ICICI Lombard. The rates were competitive and the comprehensive coverage offered allowed me to travel to the UAE stress-free. Although I didn’t claim anything, being in a culturally different country can be daunting, and having ICICI Lombard’s travel insurance brought peace of mind

I travel to the UAE often for business trips. The travel insurance package offered by ICICI and the guidance in selecting the one suited to me was not only helpful, but also prudent. I have lost my luggage once, and was hospitalised once, and ICICI Lombard’s travel insurance came to my rescue both times. I recommend it to anyone travelling to the UAE
