My Country #1


The United Arab Emirates was the first country I have ever visited making it officially my country "numero uno". Although my first visit was in 1997, it wasn't until my succeeding visits in 2011 and 2012 that I was able to make a tour of Dubai, one of its Emirates.


Dubai

Burj Khalifa: This is the tallest man made structure in the world. Don´t miss the observation deck "At The Top" for fantastic views of the city 😉

Burj Al Arab or "Tower of the Arabs": It is the 4th tallest hotel in the world, with a design of a sail. Also known as the world's only 7 star hotel. For more pictures of this hotel, you can check out my post here.

Palm Jumeirah: Considered as the eighth wonder of the world. Here, you can also find the Atlantis Hotel.

Dune Safari with BBQ buffet Dinner: This is definitely a must experience when visiting the UAE. The package also includes camel rides and Belly dance show.

Dubai Aquarium & Under Water Zoo: Located inside the Dubai Mall, it has one of the world's largest acrylic viewing panel.

Ski Dubai: So how would you like to ski in the desert? Located inside the Mall of the Emirates, this is an indoor ski resort worth visiting.

Dhow Cruise Dinner: This is another must experience when visiting Dubai.

Wild Wadi Theme Park: They really have a lot of interesting rides here. Plus you get a fantastic view of the Burj Al Arab.

Dubai Mall: This is the world's largest shopping mall. For me, the best part was the fountain show being held outside the mall.

Abra Boat Tour: Just take a boat and enjoy the sights.

The Jumeirah Public Beach: Oh, I love the water. Although the sand gets really hot.

Abu Dhabi
