This is very important ‘know before you book’ information.
This Travel Fly Solo Holiday is tailored for seasoned travelers who can self-navigate travel situations confidently when alone.
This experience will require a minimum of two flights, each way, at international ports of call where English may not be the first, or second language.
The average temperature of our key cities (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Muscat, Nizwa) is 102°F high / 82°F low in the Fall season, with dry heat being the norm - similar to summer in Las Vegas. Our activities will take us outdoors for both short and long periods, with moderate walking and movement in covered and non-covered areas. Most during the cooler hours in the evening.
This, and all of our experiences are designed to encourage both communal and independent, solo/small group exploration. For the times that are free, we expect you to research the region, plan your own itinerary and add your own touch.
As we are going to a region that is largely grounded in the Islamic faith, alcohol will not always be available in some restaurants and lounges, or is sold at an extra cost to the traveler.
There is a very strict no-nonsense policy of the consumption and possession of illegal and controlled substances in the UAE and Oman. Individuals found to have illegal drugs, to include cannabis (to include gummies!) or non-prescribed medications on their person (tylenol, advil, etc do not count) at the airport or on the ground will be subject to fines and/or arrest. Possession in the UAE also includes what is in your bloodstream and suspected individuals will be subject to a drug test. Do not bring or ingest any illegal or un-prescribed controlled substances with you. Parlour is not responsible for you in the event this happens and you will not be refunded.
The UAE and Oman abides by its own set of social customs, laws, and cultural norms to include conservative dress in non-hotel public spaces, bartering, and a lower sense of personal space. Cursing in non-hotel public spaces, especially the ‘f-word’ is strictly prohibited, in addition to lewd/wild behavior and photographing people without their permission. PDA like touching and kissing is also not allowed in public. These are not modified for visitors, so you will be expected to gracefully go with the flow. A full guide on what to wear will be sent to confirmed travelers.
Public insults of authority figures or criticism of any conditions/politics connected to the UAE and Oman’s leadership, culture and members of authority can result in arrest and imprisonment. In the event this happens Parlour is not responsible for any associated fines or punishments.
Though we do not skimp on the luxe, our experiences are designed for those who travel with optimism, a positive attitude and an open mind. If experiencing new foods, new music, environments and cultures for the first time are your thing, you’ve got the right crew! If you’re more of a “mmmm…I like what I like/what I am used to x rolling eyes” type, we can pair you with a suitable alternative vendor.
Please keep this in mind when deciding to book. We want you to have the absolute best time. Thank you for your acknowledgment!
