We've spent a week in Dubai ❤️
#coupletravel
I just spent an incredible week in Dubai, and it felt like a dream come true! 🌟 The city is a blend of futuristic skyscrapers, luxury, and rich culture. I started off with a visit to the iconic Burj Khalifa—tickets were around 150 AED, but the view from the 148th floor was out of this world!

The Dubai Mall is a must, not just for shopping, but for the Dubai Aquarium and the mesmerizing fountain show outside—both free to admire if you don’t want to spend too much!

Exciting Dune bashing & Camel experience in Dubai Desert
#desert #100waysoftravel
My recent visit to the Dubai Red Dunes Safari was a thrilling and unforgettable experience. The adventure began with an exhilarating dune ride that truly captured the essence of the desert.
The drive through the golden sands was both thrilling and breathtaking, as our skilled driver expertly maneuvered the 4x4 vehicle across the undulating dunes. The sheer thrill of the ride, combined with the stunning desert landscape, made for an adrenaline-pumping and visually spectacular experience.
After the dune bashing, we arrived at a picturesque spot for a camel ride. The experience of riding a camel across the tranquil dunes offered a serene contrast to the excitement of the dune ride.
As the camel gently swayed, we took in the expansive views of the desert and the sense of timelessness that it imparted.
It was a unique way to appreciate the beauty and vastness of the desert landscape.
It was our first unforgettable honeymoon trip!

Untold Festival Dubai 🗺️

I just got back from the Untold Music Festival in Dubai, and wow, what an experience! 🎶 Held at the Dubai Festival City, this event was a non-stop party that brought together music lovers from all over the world. The festival grounds were buzzing with energy, incredible light shows, and, of course, some of the best DJs and artists out there. The lineup was packed with big names, and each performance was more electrifying than the last. 💃🏻 The entry ticket was around 500 AED, which was totally worth it for the mind-blowing performances and the overall vibe of the event.

The food trucks and drink stalls offered a great selection, from local snacks to international cuisine, so you could refuel in between sets. 🍔🥤

Dubai: The World's Largest Shopping Mall
Dubai's weather is extremely hot, but it's quite different from Hong Kong's summer heat. The arid climate makes the sun feel like it's scorching your body. Spending just 30 minutes outside at noon can leave you dizzy, yet you won't break a sweat. To escape Dubai's sun, tourists typically spend their mornings and afternoons indoors, at the beach, or by the hotel pool. The Dubai Mall, the world's largest shopping mall, is a great option for leisure. We started our visit in the morning and couldn't cover the entire mall even by sunset—it's truly massive. If you enjoy large shopping malls in Shenzhen, this Dubai mall will definitely amaze you!
The Dubai Mall is the world's largest shopping center. It houses the world's largest aquarium, the world's largest musical fountain, and the tallest building in the world. This place truly combines four world records in one. The Dubai Mall features over 1,200 stores, offering everything from luxury brands to local handicrafts. Whether you're a shopping enthusiast or just want to take in the sights, this place is worth a visit. The Dubai Aquarium inside the mall is one of the largest indoor aquariums in the world. You can see over 33,000 different marine creatures, including sharks, turtles, and colorful corals. Outside the Dubai Mall, the Burj Khalifa Lake hosts the world's largest musical fountain. Every night, there's a spectacular music and light show that attracts thousands of visitors.

Aquaventure Waterpark Atalantis The Palm 🗺️
#waterparks
My day at Aquaventure Waterpark in Atlantis The Palm, Dubai, was nothing short of incredible! 🌴💦 This waterpark is a paradise for thrill-seekers, families, and anyone looking to cool off in the Dubai heat. The entrance fee was around 299 AED for adults, which might seem a bit pricey, but trust me, it’s worth every dirham. The park is massive, with over 105 slides and attractions, including some of the most exhilarating water slides I’ve ever experienced! 😱
The highlight for me was the Tower of Poseidon, especially the Leap of Faith slide that sends you hurtling down a near-vertical drop into a clear tube surrounded by sharks and rays. 🦈🌊 It was both terrifying and exhilarating! For a more relaxing experience, I floated down the Lazy River, which seemed endless and was a perfect way to take a break from all the adrenaline. There’s also a great section for kids with smaller slides and splash areas, making it a perfect spot for families. 🏄♂️
I also loved the beach area within the park, where I could unwind and enjoy the stunning views of the Palm Jumeirah. 🏖️ After working up an appetite, I grabbed lunch at one of the park’s many eateries, which offered a good variety of food. Don’t forget to visit The Lost Chambers Aquarium next door to explore the fascinating marine life. If you're in Dubai, Aquaventure is a must-visit! #trip #AquaventureDubai #WaterparkFun #AtlantisThePalm #DubaiAdventures #SummerSplash

Looking for an affordable hotel in Dubai? Here's a great recommendation for you!
Dubai's JW Marriott Marquis Hotel is located next to the Dubai Canal and consists of two iconic towers. From my perspective, the exterior walls of the two towers resemble palm trees with bark spreading outward, making them quite distinctive in appearance.
In a place like Dubai where the weather can get quite hot, the hotel's pool is definitely a highlight. The JW Marriott Marquis Hotel in Dubai features an outdoor pool. While it may not be as large as those in ultra-luxurious hotels like Dubai Marina or Palm Jumeirah, it is adorned with a few palm trees and offers a view of the distant Burj Khalifa, still exuding the unique charm of Dubai. Sitting under the palm trees, you can sunbathe after a swim and order a drink from the nearby bar. Isn't this the epitome of a relaxing Dubai vacation?
If you're looking for an affordable yet reliable hotel in Dubai, I highly recommend the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel.

Next time you choose Emirates, remember to stay in Dubai for a few days.
Dubai is a city that many Hong Kong people are familiar with. As a transit hub for Emirates, many Hong Kong travelers pass through this city on their way to Europe. But how many have actually stayed in this city? This time, my friend and I decided to stay for three days and two nights to uncover the mysteries of this Middle Eastern emirate.
Why choose to stay in Dubai? There are several reasons. First, a short stay in Dubai between Europe and Asia can help adjust to the seven to eight-hour time difference. Second, although Dubai is a wealthy emirate, it is still a Middle Eastern country, allowing me to explore Middle Eastern culture safely. Lastly, I was drawn by Dubai's natural scenery, magnificent architecture, and relaxing vacation atmosphere.

Dubai's Most Luxurious Beach - A Magnet for Europeans
Facing Dubai's scorching weather, the beach is undoubtedly our best companion. Just a half-hour drive from downtown Dubai, you'll reach Dubai Marina. This area faces the Persian Gulf and boasts expansive beaches. Naturally, the shore is lined with various high-end hotels and luxurious resorts. Sometimes we swim in the hotel pools, sometimes we enjoy cocktails and sunbathe on the hotel's private beach, and other times we head to the public Marina Beach to take in the scenery and play in the sea. Gazing at the blend of city and beach, I just want to slow down and enjoy the most chill vacation.

DUBAI day tour ❤️
#citydaytours
During my summer vacation, I took a city day tour in Dubai, and it was an unforgettable experience that truly captured the essence of this incredible city! Dubai is a place where tradition meets futuristic innovation, and seeing it all in one day was both exciting and eye-opening.
Our tour started at the iconic **Burj Khalifa**, the world’s tallest building. The entrance fee for the observation deck on the 124th floor was around 149 AED (roughly $40), and it was worth every dirham. The views of the city skyline and the Arabian Gulf are absolutely breathtaking. After soaking in the panoramic views, we made our way to the **Dubai Mall**, which is not just a shopping destination but an attraction in itself with its massive aquarium, indoor ice rink, and countless luxury stores.
Next, we visited the historic **Al Fahidi District** to get a taste of old Dubai. Walking through the narrow lanes of this heritage area, with its traditional wind towers and quaint courtyards, was like stepping back in time. We also took a short abra (water taxi) ride across Dubai Creek, which only cost 1 AED, and explored the vibrant spice and gold souks. The colors, scents, and the lively hustle of the market were so different from the modern side of Dubai—an experience not to be missed!
In the afternoon, we drove along **Sheikh Zayed Road**, marveling at the futuristic architecture, before heading to **Jumeirah Beach**. The white sandy beach with the stunning backdrop of the **Burj Al Arab** was the perfect place to relax for a bit.
The day wrapped up with a visit to **Dubai Marina** and the **Palm Jumeirah**, where we enjoyed a leisurely stroll and admired the incredible man-made island. Nearby, the Atlantis Hotel is also worth a visit, especially if you’re into luxury hotels or aquariums.
Dubai is a city of contrasts—modern yet steeped in tradition, and exploring it in one day gave me a deep appreciation for its unique character. Whether you’re into skyscrapers, shopping, or history, Dubai has something for everyone.

Traditional vs. Modern: This is the charm of Dubai.
The Shaikh Rashid Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Mosque is named after Rashid Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the eldest son of the current ruler of Dubai, Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. This mosque was built to honor his legacy and contributions to the community. It stands as a testament to the family's commitment to fostering religious and cultural values in Dubai.
This mosque is a significant place of worship for the local Muslim community, providing a serene environment for daily prayers, Friday congregational prayers, and special religious events. It also plays a vital role in community activities, offering educational programs, Quranic studies, and social services. The mosque serves as a center for spiritual growth and community connection, reflecting Dubai's spirit of inclusiveness and hospitality.
Architecturally, the mosque blends traditional Islamic and modern design elements. It features a large central dome flanked by smaller domes and two elegant minarets that gracefully rise towards the sky. The exterior is adorned with intricate geometric patterns and Arabic calligraphy, showcasing the artistry of Islamic architecture. Inside, the prayer hall is spacious and beautifully decorated with chandeliers, luxurious carpets, and a mihrab indicating the direction of Mecca. The design emphasizes aesthetics and functionality, creating a peaceful and inspiring space for worshippers.
As a visitor, the most striking aspect is undoubtedly the contrast between the mosque and the skyscrapers in the background, especially with the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, visible in the distance. The juxtaposition of modern architecture and traditional religious sites offers a diverse travel experience, making me love Dubai even more.

I want to be at the Top!
So I decided to visit this magnificent tallest building in the world! Soaring high at 555 meters, At the Top Burj Khalifa SKY is fittingly one of Dubai’s most iconic destination.
Inside, watch in amazement specially-designed projections as you ascend to Level 125.
The view was spectacular and we can oversea the desert landscape and just break taking!
Burj Khalifa At the Top Tickets: Level 124 & 125
from AED 179.
