Dubai

I was lucky enough to travel to Dubai on an educational visit for 3 nights.

Whilst there I experienced some of the most enchanting and bizarre times I think I’ll ever have.

On arriving at your hotel, you kind of wonder where everything is, as if staying on Jumeirah Beach you are presented with amazing hotels on a huge coastline and stunning views out to sea with soft white sand.

Dubai, however, as many people now know, holds so much more. It is very important whilst here to take full advantage of your tour rep or speak to your hotel about booking your excursions to get the most out of your holiday. There are shopping tours, where you go to the most popular parts of the city for handbags, rings, electricals, jewellery/watches. Then you have the shopping malls also if you so wish!

We went on a Jeep Desert Safari which ended with watching the sun set whilst sipping champagne...... truly amazing.

There really is a vast array of things to do whilst there, and I would highly recommend a visit as it is totally different from anywhere else you will go!
