Discovering Dubai

After a 28-hour travel day with three layovers, we officially began the Asia leg of our tour with our first stop: Dubai. We stayed at the Dubai Marina and soaked in views of the city’s incredible skyscrapers. At night, they were especially dazzling as their lights reflected off the water. We took a dinner cruise and happened to be there the final week of their epic drone show!!

We also experienced breathtaking views from the top of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. The elevator was surprisingly fast, and before we knew it, we were gazing down at the city from a bird’s eye view 125 stories in the air.

Dubai felt unbelievably clean, safe, fancy, and enormous. The highlight of our time there was a day in the desert, complete with a camel ride, a dinner show, stargazing, and a delicious five-course meal! We absolutely loved Dubai and hope to return someday.Read more
