New York Travel

What are the places that should be visited certainly in New York?

After arriving in New York, we must prepare a plan so that we can know where to go and how to go. If we travel with a tour agency, it is ok but if you don’t, this is very important. Certainly,  we could suggest you to  visit Twin Towers before it wasn’t destroyed but now it is gone for ever.

Therefore, one of the most important places that should be seen is the Empire State Building. This is an important building;it is a 442 high, 102-storied building consisting of 1576 stairs. Its construction was finished in 1931, it is one of the places where you can see all New York City and it is one of the most beautiful places… There are some places you should see after all of these ones because there is the Statue of Liberty. This France’s present to America for 100. hundred reminder. After you go to New York, see the Empire State Building, you can arrive The Statue of Liberty by the most beautiful boats and vessels.

The Statue of Liberty is not only New York’s but also The World’s symbol. It is 93- meter high but we give you bad news. Because of terorism events, you cant arrive the stone point up the stairs but you can go up till bedplate. It is not compulsory but I suggest you to go there…

Why don’t we visit museums when we come to New York? We will visit Metropolitan Museum. Although it is stil a borrowing museum from The World History, it is a unique  museum.

Don’t return from New York without passing through the Central Park because only this park can jolly a place up.

When you come here, you should watch a musical. Then you can arrange a New York travel in a short time.

How is the transportation in New York?

One of the capital towns in the World is New York. New York is really a beautiful city despite its blasted towers… Then, what must we do when we want to come here? Directly, you can enjoy arriving in New York in 9-10 hours by buying a ticket from Turkish Airlines. Beside flying directly, there is a visa problem about entry permit. What kind of American visa problem is this? Until the 11 September Twin Towers scandal, Turkish people could get visa easily. Before this situation, America used to give lifelong visa permit. After this terorism events, there happened to be some problems with the frame of the rules. America started to give 10-year visa and it wasn’t easy to take visa because America gives visa if it accepts the person suitable according to the interview where they scan fingerprint and retina.

After getting the visa,there is only thing left to do!! – to go and get around America, New York. When you  go to  New York, it is useless to stay for 3-5 days because New York is a seperate world. 7 or 8 days can be  enough to get around New York.  If you want to be here  and get around more, 15 days can be suitable.

How is the climate in New York?

The world has 4 seasons; Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter but New York has 2 seasons. Whatever happens, never go to New York in Winter. Skyscrapers are seperated as a blok. When you work between two bloks, you can find yourself not to walk as you are frozen. Therefore don’t go to New York in Winter…

In summer, in other words; in early spring you can feel the temperature  after April. In summer, unfortunately you can hardly walk because of the smoke of the cars, skyscrapers, taxis and their exhaust fumes and the high temperature of the air..

September, October and November are the best months to go to New York.

How is the food culture in New York?

The only city where you can eat 4 times big your meals  and there are a lot of different restaurants is New York. It is  impossible to forget the sausage sellers on the streets. Do you know know all these sausage sellers are Arabian Muslums? You can relax because they never use pork. They prepare shish kebabs by using veal, mutton and beef plus they sell chicken shish. You can eat these sausages tastefully. Isn’t it sensible to eat a sandwich for 2 dollars instead of going to restaurats? The biggest feature is that you can find all the world’s food culture in New York. Briefly, Turkish don’t suffer from food.

Do you miss Turkish meals? Dervish Restaurant waits for you on the 45. avenue, 7. street. Including  its delicious stuffed vegetables and borlotti beans in olive oil, wonderful Turkish food waits for you. Of course, you will eat some things in America but there is not a special food of America. The important one is to eat according to your palatal delight. Then you can go to New York to eat the most beautiful food of the World.

Dubai Travel

Does having a holiday require high budget as it is thought?

You planned a vacation to Dubai and wanted its budget to be very high, then Dubai travels for 299$ including aeroplane expenses is not impossible… But if you like, it is possible to lodge in Dubai where the  world’s limited in number 5 stars and architecturally incomparable hotels are existed for 2500, 3000 and even as far as 5000$ if you can afford.

But if your aim is to buy electronic appliance, you do not need to spend so much money for this. The reasons for Dubai’s to be chosen when it comes to the technology are its being close to the Far East and being sold the goods imported from Far East here in a duty-free and tax-free way. That’s why Dubai is the most ideal place to buy mobile phone…

Of course you can buy various electronic appliances apart from mobile phone; cameras, laptops… But if you happen to go to Dubai and need mobile phone we advise you to steer for them firstly. Then you can steer for another electronic appliance …

On account of living in Dubai is not that expensive, you have the chance of tasting any countries’ cuisine with very affordable prices…

Dubai has barely public transportation even there is no such a chance. I have two advices: either you can rent a car with reasonable conditions and access anywhere in Dubai  very easily or you can engage a taxi with very ridiculous prices…  For example, you can wonder around Dubai from one end to another end with just 10-12$ maximum cost…

It means travelling to Dubai is not so expensive as it is thought to be…

What should we watch for when we are in Dubai as a tourist?

The United Arab Emirates are consisted of total of 8 emirates. Of course these have a certain number of way of life, cultivations and traditions according to the each emirate. Dubai is the modernist one among them…  For example, Şaja- another emirate- has more though rules and more secluded…  Even, it is such a secluded emirate that it is forbidden to drink alcohol in the hotels in this emirate. Abudabi is an emirate located between Şaja and Dubai but the people in Dubai preserve their modern, far-sighted traditions and customs having high living standards  apart from their traditions and customs…

That’s why, as Turkish people when we arrive there, we can have the chance of wearing whatever we like  without having no difficulty. We are not having any difficulty just because we are Turkish because we go to a country whose people are Muslim. As in the case of other Muslim countries, people are very hospitable against Turkish people, because religious fraternity is in the foreground. As you know Dubai is a shopping paradise, it is one of your aims already to go there.  Bargaining is possible but it should be in reasonable limits. I mean it is not possible to buy a good with a tenth of its price as you do in the Far East. That’s why it is advisable to keep bargaining at reasonable limits.

How to go to Dubai?

You decided to go to Dubai, you are very lucky because there is already 3 airlines directly going to Dubai.  Airway communication; you have the chance of flying  Dubai at the various hours of the day via Dubai’s domestic airline Emirate in the first instance,  and also Turkish Airlines and Singapur Airlines. Flight time is approximately 4,5 hours; it is not a long time.

When it comes to the question of  “Do we need a visa to go to Dubai?” Yes, we do. But it is not required detailed visa transactions like Europe, Australia and America.  You  just  xeros specific pages of your passport and give them to your travel agent and airline; and these are sent to Dubai.   These are translated into English in Dubai and then your visa is sent to you as a photocopy.  All you need to do to enter this country is to put this photocopy into your passport. This will make wondering around the country easier for you.

If you planned a Dubai travel, you must know that you should just lead to Dubai. Of course not for the sun and for the sea. Because on account of the life there is planned to be cheap, 4-days as minimum or 5-days as maximum vacation will be an ideal duration for you.

Which months are the most ideal ones to go to Dubai?

If you want to go to Dubai firstly you should bear in mind these;  Do not ever  think of going to Dubai when Europe is experiencing summer. If you want to go there in such hot days that even it is possible to cook egg on the walkways in 50 degree and you feel strong enough to bear such a hot weather, it is not the case of course. The most ideal time to go to Dubai is when it is winter in Europe.  Because it is the time when the desert climate and the hot weather in Dubai is at minimum levels and equivalent with 20-25 degrees. And it is very available for shopping. December, January, February, and march are the most ideal months to go to Dubai. Then the most ideal months to go to Dubai are winter months.

Dubai is always crowded in 12 months of a year if you like or not. Because people infest in Dubai to buy themselves the closest and cheapest electronic appliances. And for this the weather is not the case. On account of  gigantic shopping malls having air-conditioner, it is not the case to be effected by the weather in Dubai. That’s why Dubai is crowded in 12 months of a year.

How is the cuisine of Dubai?

You have not a problem like famishing in Dubai. We can say this easily. Because Dubai  has not its own cuisine. Although Dubai is integrated with arab culture, on account of being one of the United Arab Emirates is very touristic, it will be very easy for you to find world cuisine there. If you like a cuisine which is very similar to Turkish cuisine, then I advise you to prefer the restaurants in which you can find typical arab foods and also hummus, kebab, durum…

Be sure with this that you will not have starvation problem.
