Our short stay in Dubai was filled with excitement. We only allocated 2 days for this beautiful city, far too short of time. Dubai is an extremely modern city, infact most of the city was built within the last 30 years. The city is very clean – a stark contrast to our time in India.
While in Dubai we went to their wonderful shopping areas, saw it’s beautiful skyline and went on a fantastic tour – a dessert safari.
The dessert safari was an extremely well run tour it began with dune bashing-which was a nail biting experience where we rode Toyota 4X4s up, down, and through the sand dunes.
After a half an hour we gave our
hands a break from their death grips and went to our camp. At camp we watched a falcon hunter, smoked a traditional shesha, got a henna tattoo, went sand boarding, and had a traditional dinner and entertainment. It was a wonderful day.
After our short stay we are taking a cruise through the Suez Canel stopping in Jordan, Israel, and the island of Crete ending in Spain. More on these fantastic destinations later.
Too funny, my cousin is visiting Dubai right now as well! Glad you’re having such a great trip!
