The Dubai Desert

Finding the Traditional Culture in the Lavish city of Dubai

February 8th 2015
My visit to the great city of Dubai started off as just a stepping stone on my way to India; a trip I was taking soon with my dear friend Natalia and her sister Tati. Dubai is one of seven city states that make up the United Arab Emirates, and it is an exceedingly lavish city.

Hola! My name is Jennifer and my husband/travel-partner-in-crime is Victor. We are young professionals who love traveling on our time off of work and find it to be the most rewarding experience to share together as a couple. Unlike many of the bloggers here that take year long trips, we represent those travelers that work, save, and take 1-3 week long trips around the world. Then work, save and do it all over again! We just added two little girls to our tribe, and are excited for this new life adventure!... full info

Great adventure!
How wonderful that you got into old Dubai and to the sand dunes as well as the amazing modern city. I love it that the mosque visit including teaching on Islam, since so few people are aware of it. And the Lebanese food sounded great! Happy adventures in India!

Thanks Tara!
Yes it was wonderful to learn about Islam, religions are so fascinating! I would definitely recommend the desert trip because it's not something you see everyday, and its a lovely place to take pictures of!

Yes I have to agree!
Dune bashing is not for everyone, so sorry you got car sick! Glad you found it interesting on your visit though. I loved the experience of the isolation and the sun rising was just so perfect. I imagine the sunset must also be just as stunning.
