ATM services in Dubai

International credit cards such as MasterCard and Visa are accepted almost everywhere and in Dubai are also plenty of ATM’s where you can withdraw money with Dutch cards. It’s possible to pin in the shops, also you can go in your own country to a bank retrieve for some Dirhams before you travel to Dubai. Please note that the local pins of money almost always cheaper than the rip off money in advance from the bank. This related to the unfavorable exchange rates and commission that the banks asks.

Safety in Dudai

There’s almost no crime in Dubai, only what little exists is mainly non-violent and generally happens far from the tourist areas. No one harasses you (except that a person aggravating man in the souk), there are no drunks, no serious anti-social behavior, and no riots or demos. Despite being in the middle of a geopolitical hotspot, no significant terrorist attack has ever been carried out here. It’s probably on same level of safety as Iceland, except there’s little chance of earthquakes and volcanoes here either.
