What are some of the general tips for travellers to Dubai Desert during the COVID-19 outbreak?

If it's your first time travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, you'll notice new rules and restrictions in place. Take note of these tips and make your trip to Dubai Desert go off without a hitch: Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll need to follow on arrival, such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test. When you go through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly for ID purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may be fined and denied boarding. Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it straight on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection. One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for screening. Place any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to minimize handling during screening. If you want to take food on board, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.

Everything about this hotel was just fabulous! From the staff treating us like royalty to the phenomenal spread of food, we couldn’t have asked for anything more! All members of staff were always at hand to help, nothing was ever too much for them! Both breakfast and dinner was superb! The variety of foods and the freshness of it was truly outstanding. It didn’t matter what time we went to dine, there was always fresh food available. Despite the alcoholic beverages being on the pricier side, there was still ample of options. The room was always cleaned to its best and they went above and beyond when we hung the wrong sign on the door, asking them to collect dirty laundry, when we wanted our room cleaned. Oops! When I had left my phone on a shuttle bus, the concierge resolved the issue immediately and it was retrieved within 20 minutes! Enough said! Overall, I would highly recommend C Central Resort to anyone, singles, couples, friends and families - it’s definitely an all rounder! You will not be disappointed!

This is a decent hotel. I would say maybe four stars. I think the hotel is beginning to show somewhere and tear as the carpet in my room for example had stains and some of the bathroom appliances had water damage. But overall, it still has a modern fill. Staff were always very friendly and helpful and kind. There is a few dining options nearby like a good sushi place. Maybe about a 35 to 40 minute ride to the Dubai airport w/ some traffic. In terms of location all the tours that I booked were able to pick me up from this hotel. Overall, a seven out of 10 would maybe stay again but nothing fancy.
