Things to do in Dubai


  1. The popular landmarks of Dubai like Burj Al Arab, Madinat Jumeirah, Burj Khalifa, The dancing fountain at downtown Dubai and ofcourse The Atlantis. Each place has its own attraction. In Atlantis you will also enjoy the water park in which you can also swim with the dolphins
  2. Shopping - Now here I don't mean going to the malls (you have that every where). I'm talking about Dubai's  local bazaar like Souq Naif, Meena bazaar, Satwa and of course Dragon Mart where you will find all items made in China .  
  3. Arabic food - Even if you have never had it you will definitely fall in love with it. The hommus, kebabs, vine leaves, arayes and especially the mannish at Al Reef Bakery. They are all too good! 
  4. Shisha - You will find it in every corner of Dubai with many different flavors. You can also buy the shisha itself as a souvenir to take back home even if you don't want to use it.
  5. Desert Safari - This is a fun filled day in the deserts of dubai where you enjoy desert safari, dunning and yummy arabic food. You can do this through companies like Arabian Adventures that provide full day safari packages. 
  6. Dubai Museum
  7. Dubai Ice Rink at the Dubai Mall
  8. Bab Al Shams
And the list just simply goes on...
Enjoy your stay!

DUBAI

Dubai; the place I totally love; for the first time does not excite me as it once use to. This is my home country, the place where I was born and brought up, the place that holds a lot of memories for me. I come here nearly twice a year and every trip is exciting as if its my first time but this time I feel like I've left something behind. For the first time I am missing my real home; Dublin. My space, my routine and most importantly my husband. The second he left me at the airport and went to the transit section to catch his flight from dubai to dublin I just knew that this was the wrong decision.

Anyways.. its been quite a while since I last posted I don't know what keeps me so busy. Hopefully this time I will be regular.
