One adjective for Dubai would be "LIT".
I am a person who is more attracted to cities than nature or culture oriented places. If you are one like me then Dubai should surely be on your list.
It is a lit up city/emirate where almost every building looks embellished with lights.
If it's your first trip abroad then Dubai is the best choice because
1. The majority population here is Indian expats so it feels very comfortable and non-foreign here.
2. Almost everyone speaks English or Hindi so language barrier is not there
3. City is connected very well so traveling from one place to another isn't an issue.
Yes due to Covid there are many procedures that are needed to be followed and online submissions of multiple forms from UAE govt .
But once you through that , trip would be really smooth and worth it.
And also don't forget to go to Abu Dhabi .You'll have a blast there at Ferrari world and Warner Bros.And don't miss the fastest Roller Coaster in the world.
