DUBAI YOU WERE AMAZING✨✨
My six day family adventure in Dubai was an unforgettable experience, filled with adventure, relaxation, beautiful views and quality family time.
We flew from Edinburgh on the overnight service with Emirates Airlines on the new A350 offering a great service and arriving Dubai early morning ready for our adventures to begin!
We stayed at the Hilton Palm Jumeriah Hotel which is located on the trunk of the man made palm island making it accessible for the Palm, only 10 mins by taxi and aprox 20 mins downtown by taxi to the fountains and Dubai Mall .There’s a beachfront promenade ideal for evening walks and a shopping mall across the road where you can shop til you drop!
One of the highlights of our holiday was our desert safari. We got to experience the beautiful Dubai desert with its endless golden sand dunes and watching the sunset over the desert was particularly special. We done the dune bashing, camel rides , self drive dune buggy’s and sand boarding. It was lovely to experience a different side of Dubai away from the busy city.
Another unforgettable experience was a beautiful sunset yacht cruise. We sailed around the palm surrounded by Dubai’s impressive skyline . The views were spectacular especially as the sun began to set and the city lights started to appear. And stunning photo opportunities of course!!
We also enjoyed a day at the Atlantis Aquaventure the worlds largest waterpark, experiencing the thrilling water slides and relaxing pools. There was so much to do, it was a fantastic fun day for the whole family.
We visited Zeta Seventy Seven sky pool which was a really memorable experience. The sky pool 77 floors high offered incredible views of Dubai and with luxurious surroundings. We had the floating breakfast which was full of delicious breakfast treats and Fizz! A lovely, relaxing way to spend a morning .
A visit to the famous fountain show is a must, it’s the worlds largest choregraphed dancing fountain show set on the artificial Burj Khalifa lake downtown Dubai.
Dubai is a fantastic holiday destination, offering a mixture of adventure, luxury, relaxation and unforgettable experiences. For any one who is worried about travelling out there currently don’t be , we felt very safe and very welcomed.
We’ll certainly be back ! Zoe x
