Plan Your Dubai Holiday

The reasons to travel to Dubai are myriad and focus on primarily commerce and relaxation. People come for the desert, the extravagant collection of shopping malls, the souks, the golden beaches, the museums, the contemporary attractions and for Dubai’s reputation as “place to do business” in the Arabian Gulf. In 2010 Dubai was the 7th most visited city in the world.

The climate in Dubai is a subtropical desert with scattered humidity throughout the year. During the off-peak season, especially in July and August, temperatures swell and at times can exceed 45 degrees. Travellers seeking cheap hotels in Dubai should attempt to arrive during the off-peak season, but should be prepared for very warm temperatures. If you wish to experience the full range of diverse activities that are available, we recommend that you book your tickets to Dubai as soon as you can and travel in the peak season. We additionally advise that you consult our Deals section to find the best flight deals to Dubai all year-round.

Each year an average of six million passengers pass through its facilities and an expansion is underway that will increase its capacity.

Airport Transportation in Kota Kinabalu

There are also minibuses: No.16 goes to Terminal 1 and No.17 goes to Terminal 2. Both routes depart from the Wawasan station, but have irregular hours and end in the early afternoon. For this reason, the best alternative is to take a taxi to Kota Kinabalu International Airport. It is worth noting that at the moment there is no train to Kota Kinabalu International Airport.
