Dubai World

It's been almost 6 months since our 2 day trip to Dubai, however it was a trip definitely worth a mention on our Travel Blog!

After our 2 week trip through South Africa, we arrived in hot Dubai around midnight. Because accommodation is so expensive, we'd booked into a 3-star hotel (which was really a 1 or 2 star!) which was located directly above a night club where, as one of our taxi drivers explained, the "call girls hang out". Not really what I expected to come across in Dubai!

We only had 1 full day in Dubai so decided to do a 4x4 Safari in the afternoon which would give us time to do some exploring in the morning.

Our explorations were uneventful, but the Safari was pretty awesome. We were collected from the hotel by the 4x4 Safari man who drove us out to the dessert. The sand dunes in Dubai are "entertainment central". Hundreds of people turned up with their 4x4's and quad bikes and drove around the dunes. It's like being on a free rollercoaster! After the sand dune entertainment, we were driven out into the middle of the dessert to a camp site for a traditional Arabian dinner.

Was a great experience and one I'd recommend to anyone travelling via Dubai!

So this was the end of our 1 month travel adventure. Our next stop was London which would be our final destination for a while.
