Russia Travel Information

UAE nationals wishing to travel to Russia will have to apply for a visa first before making the trip. Russia is the largest country in the world covering a huge landmass, so the climate will vary considerably depending on where you are visiting. If you are going to Moscow the weather over the summer can get surprisingly hot, but be prepared for extremely cold temperatures and heavy snowfall if you visit over the winter. Remember that the currency used in Russia is the Russian ruble, although it is generally difficult to obtain this currency outside of Russia so you may need to change up your money after you have landed.
