Dubai, often dubbed the city of superlatives, welcomes visitors with its iconic skyline dominated by the world’s tallest building the Burj Khalifa. As you gaze upon this architectural marvel, prepared to be wowed by the city’s vibrant energy and ambition. I only had 3 days in the United Arab Emirates and was very excited to experience as much as I can. First stop was the thrilling escapade into the golden sands, complete with dune bashing , camel riding and traditional Arabic entertainment under the starlit sky.
A short drive from Dubai lies majestic capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque took my breath away. I was in awe of its architectural beauty and cultural heritage. It had the most gorgeous and intricate marble work, dazzling chandeliers and serene ambience.
My favourite stop in Abu Dhabi was the Louvre Abu Dhabi which is undeniably beautiful. The architecture is impressive and the view of the water built on it is something for everyone to enjoy.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi captivate the imagination with their blend of modernity, luxury and timeless charm. One thing for sure I am planning to return again as I felt my 3 days was too short.
