Dubai: the city to enjoy life

Amazing, energizing and super-modern – that is Dubai. There is only one reason to come here – to enjoy life to its fullest. From super luxurious hotels to posh night clubs – this city will impress you. As it impressed me.

It’s almost impossible to take a picture of the whole building. Its top swings back and forth up to 6 meters.

Looking at the city it’s difficult to imagine that just 50 years ago it was just a pearl producing village that now has turned in to all these super modern skyscrapers and shopping centers.

Dubai Mall big shopping center

No one can accuse Dubai of thinking small. Dubai Mall is one of the biggest shopping centers in the world. Its size is equal to 50 football fields. It is equipped with a huge aquarium, 1200 shops and an ice-ring. The fountain show in front of it is impressive too.

The seaside area Jumeirah is for those who are up to a beach holiday in Dubai. Here you can find all the Arab dolce vita components – luxurious villas and hotels, art galleries, boutiques and beautiful parks. This is where the famous 7 star hotel Burj al Arab is located. But my choice was the Atlantis hotel located on the artificial island The Palm nearby Jumeirah. Underwater villas with glass walls facing 33 000 aquarium inhabitants are just amazing here! Unfortunately I haven’t met one of the frequent hotel guest George Clooney, but the swim with dolphins made up for it. This is definitely a thing to do while in Dubai even if you are not staying at Atlantis you should come here to do it!

Dubai Nightlife Buddha Bar Grosvenor House hotel

Night life is amazing in Dubai. I would suggest to start your night with sushi at the Buddha Bar in the Grosvenor House hotel (the best of the Buddha bars in my opinion)...

Dubai Armani bar Burj Khalifa Cavalli club

... then have a drink at the Armani bar in Burj Khalifa, and then to party in style at Cavalli club at the Fairmont hotel, where you can easily meet Roberto Cavalli himself and many other celebrities. Just be sure you dress properly as the dress code is very strict there.

  • Abu Dhabi is a very popular stopover connection for many travellers, and so it was for us on our way to Mauritius. This time, instead of just taking a short 3-hour break like we always do, we went further and took a full 20-hour long stopover. So the main question was - what can you really manage to do in Abu Dhabi in just 20 hours?

  • The tallest building in the world, the highest location of a restaurant, the biggest shopping mall, the largest golden diamond ring – it is all now my home. Welcome to Dubai, the city that according to Sheikh Mohammed’s vision will become the most visited city of the world by the year 2030.

  • Recently, we had the chance to visit one of the best restaurants in Dubai, Social by Heinz Beck. The restaurant is part of the luxurious Waldorf Astoria Hotel and has been awarded three Michelin stars, the highest standard there is.

  • Here we are, enjoying another great afternoon tea but this time we’re not in London, not even close. The TripTemptation team has landed in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and we've headed straight for Etihad Towers - the tallest and newest towers in Abu Dhabi. Our visit started with a very special tea ceremony.

  • Dealing with picky eaters at home can be challenging. Getting them to eat while you are on holiday can even be more troublesome and doubly stressful.

  • As you approach the hotel, the first thing you notice is the impressive arch, Ibn Battuta Gate, which, at 60 metres high, is larger than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The iconic entrance and themed décor are inspired by the travels of intrepid 14th century explorer, Ibn Battuta, who travelled the world from Africa and Europe to Arabia and the Far East. He first set off to do a “Haji” (pilgrimage to Mecca) when he was just 21 years old and ended up travelling for the next 24 years.

I fell in love with traveling much earlier than I fell in love with my first man. And I'm still faithful to that love (But I have exchanged some men since my first one). I have never had a reason to regret my passion. I constantly dream of going further, it gives me indescribable emotions and meaning to my life.
