Dubai is a city that always mesmerizes every single traveller around the globe. A city that gives hopes to many, a true desert turned to one of the best tourism potential cities around the world. Its rich culture, tradition, and food styles admire us each and every single time when we visit this beautiful city.
This city always creates some magic with their standout skyscrapers, Beaches, and much more. I took this trip to Dubai with my family 3 Years back and Dubai as a city has evolved in the last few years offering a varied source of tourist potential. Every year this city witnesses millions of tourist arrivals from all over the world.
We started our day with a trip to the Miracle Garden situated at Dubailand, UAE. This truly can be explained as a miracle as we can witness more than 50 million flowers which makes this world's largest natural flower garden.
The Garden spreads across 72000 sq meters thus taking us to a different world of flowers, the season starts from mid - November and runs till mid - May during the course one can witness more varieties of flowers which is a very rare and magical view that melts every traveler's heart.
This garden is one of the best picturesque destinations in Dubai as we can see travelers taking selfies with the flowers and the miracles they have built with those beautiful flowers.
The tour guides were explaining to us about the different types of fish species and thus it was totally a knowledgable trip to witness those beautiful creatures.
The sad part for me was we couldn't manage to get the tickets for the water theme park inside the Atlantis but thus we got to witness the complete spot as we took a tram ride which runs around the Atlantis showcasing the island for the tourists. The tickets are way expensive as it's one of the major tourist driving centers in Dubai.
This day we decided to head somewhat to the outskirts of the city to spend a day away from the city rush. Jabel Hafeet was our destination which is the mountain ranges situated in the outskirts of the city and thus bordering Oman.
The drive towards the mountains is something to watch for as its only the mountain ranges stretching towards the border, but the climate as we all know it's real humid so make sure to carry some sun screams as it burns. After reaching the top the view is just awesome, the vast areas spread across acres with huge mountains connecting each other.
It gives a distant view of the city from the top which is one of the best sequences that cant be expressed in words.
The cruise comes with a splendid dinner with various other entertainments such as the Arabian folklore. There would be highly talented artists on the floor with their skills showcasing their talents thus entertaining the tourists on the cruise. It was an amazing cruise through the Dubai creek totally enjoyed with my family.
One can't leave the city without at least paying a visit to the world's tallest building the majestic "Burj Khalifa". It was a dream come true for me to witness this humungous building just in front of me and I couldn't resist me in clicking a pic. Going inside the building is way expensive so couldn't do it this time but would definitely try next time when I arrive in this city.
This was our last day in the city and by far the most exciting day as we were heading towards the desert for some fun and adventurous ride. Desert Safari is famous in Dubai as it's especially for all those tourists who love to have some adventure time. It's a complete desert and the only thing we can witness are those sporty vehicles turning upside-down driving through the desert.
It felt scary as it was a complete rollercoaster ride and worth the price and after the adventurous ride, we are provided with some exquisite Arabian food and accompanied by various folklores.
The best part of the folklore that I loved the most is their "Tanoura Dance" which was so magical with those costumes, lightings over their body, the belly dance was so wonderful to watch with the whole crowd cheering for the dancers, overall a good sweet night time at one of the richest cities around the world.
One cant even imagines that these architectural marvels are even built with the flowers in the garden, it's so natural and so good to see. As we spent some quality time inside the garden but still had a feeling that the time could have frozen for a few hours.
The second day we had set our course for the beautiful Dubai Aquarium, as it was one of the sweet spots there was a huge crowd to witness the different varieties of fishes that swim all around us as we pass by which was one of the best experiences that I got to enjoy.
I got to witness those which I could never imagine existed underneath the sea, it still amuses me, was a very rare experience that jolted my mind.
The next day I was so excited about the place that we were going to visit as it was one of the richest tourist hotspots in Dubai. Atlantis The Palm is a totally fun ride place especially for kids and can enjoy good and entertaining family time.
As Dubai is known for its outstanding beaches it was mandatory to have some quality beach time with my family, Jumeirah beach is one of the best spots to enjoy a sunny day or to spend cozy breezy evening time.
Wherever I roamed I was completely focusing on trying to taste the true Arabian cuisine as it's the best known for Shawarmas and mouthwatering Arabian sweets. The city is famous for its nightlife thus for every sports car lovers it could be a magical time as the Arabs would turn out with their branded cars on the streets.
It was good as we could spend some time away from the city noises, but if you are looking for a cozy spot this is not the place for you as we go up the mountains it becomes dry and totally humid so remember to carry bottled water when planning a trip to "Jebel Hafeet".
This morning we took off and spend a day inside our hotel room and thus we had a Dhow Cruise organized for us by the Hotel. Dhow Cruise which takes us through the Dubai marina lakes which showcase the rich night city lights while we enjoy a soothing dinner cruise.
The best part of the city is the love and respect the residents providing to the tourists, their love, affection can be seen through their humble gestures. This city is flooded with Indians as we can meet our people from every nook and corner of the city, and we Indians have played a major role in helping them built this beautiful city that we witness today as once it was a total dry desert.
We said goodbye to the Hotel and this beautiful city as we ended our a week trip to Dubai as we boarded our flight back to Kerala. One of the best weeks spend with my family and the city never lets you leave as it calls you back.
