Fly by Dubai? Here's some tips for the best lay over!

Habibi come to Dubai! Where a layover makes you want to stay longer. Whether you have just a few hours or a whole day to spare, this vibrant city has something for everyone.  Start your day right with a delicious breakfast spread at one of Dubai's many cafes or restaurants. You can savor Arabian dishes to international delights, the options is endless. I like to go to the mall since Dubai's temperature can be el fuego! 

Dubai main attraction is the iconic skyline, and what better way to do so than from the observation deck of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world? Marvel at the breathtaking views of the city sprawling below as you ascend to the clouds. ​ Next, lose yourself in the labyrinthine lanes of the Dubai Spice Souk, where fragrant spices and exotic herbs beckon from every corner. Then, make your way to the nearby Gold Souk, where glittering treasures await. Whether you're in the market for dazzling jewelry or just browsing, the Gold Souk is a feast for the eyes.

Afterward, it's time to refuel with a leisurely lunch at Dubai Marina. You can choose from an array of waterfront restaurants offering everything from fresh seafood to international cuisine. Relax and  enjoy a scrumptious meal while taking in those breathtaking views of the marina and its impressive skyline.

No trip to Dubai would be complete without experiencing the thrill of a desert safari. Strap in for an adrenaline-fueled ride over the dunes as expert drivers navigate the sandy terrain with ease. You can unwind at a traditional Bedouin camp, where you can indulge in camel rides, henna painting, and a sumptuous barbecue dinner under the stars. 

As the sun sets over the city, make your way to the Dubai Fountain for a mesmerizing display of water, music, and light. Set against the backdrop of the Burj Khalifa, the fountain's choreographed performances are a sight to behold. Find a spot along the waterfront or grab a seat at one of the nearby cafes for the best views of the show.

Before you bid farewell to Dubai, be sure to pick up some souvenirs to remember your Dubai adventure. Whether it's traditional Arabic handicrafts, aromatic spices, or designer goods, Dubai has no shortage of shopping opportunities to satisfy your retail cravings. Until next time, Dubai, shukran!
