Since I was a kid, I wanted to see the world’s tallest building. So when the opportunity of going to Dubai came, I had to jump on it. There’s no way I could reject a chance to go here. Who knew, if I would ever get the chance again.
After a 12 hour flight, I went straight to the tallest building in the world. No time to waste. When seeing it in person, I was shocked as to how tall this man-made structure is. It’s like double the size of the freedom tower in NYC. This was an awesome moment for me. It’s hard to explain in words. Just imagine your childhood dream coming true. I was completely losted in the moment. Deep inside my mind, my inner child was happy.
Got to my air bnb, I was surprised to see how clean it was. This was the first time I used this service. I’m starting to prefer it over hotels. I had a whole apartment to myself. I can cook and know what’s going into my food.
It’s cheaper than a hotel per night and I don’t have to waste money on eating out. The apartment had a little balcony. Too bad I wouldn’t use it as much, the heat was unbearable. Opening up the door, felt like steam from a boiler being thrown into your face.
The Middle Eastern heat is no joke. It’s hard to believe it was the end of summer/the being of fall, when I was there. It was around early to mid September during my stay in this desert city. I was told in the months of July and June, sand storms are common. Even with this heat, I won’t let it stop me. Couldn’t wait to see what this city had to offer.
Thank you for reading! Much love and safe travels.
That air bnb apartment looks very nice but sounds like it needed some air con 🔆
It had some! Just opening the window made the AC feel like it wasn’t working lol
Wow – that’s crazy, I’ve never experienced that kind of heat – maybe I’ll get to Dubai one of these days!
I grew up where tarmac melts in summer. It ain’t fun, yet it was cooler than Dubai. A good average of 45°C but a few times up to 54. Which is why I prefer Cape Town, much more moderate.
Omg I can’t even comprehend 45c never mind 54c 🔥🔥🔥though I guess over long periods of time you probably learn to climatise to it – a bit!!! 🔆
Yeah they got used to it. Winter time is alot better time to go there. From october to February. The weird thing about dubai that it’s also humid. So it’s not like a dry heat that i thought a city in a desert would have.
I thought it would be a dry heat too, it’s an unusual place! I wonder if the humidity is artificially induced!!!
Lmao 😂😂 like the snow at the malls. So i googled this and it’s because the city is on the Persian Gulf side. It make sense, must be the water.
Yeah been wanting to go there. South africa looks so beautiful
Cape Town is best, even the Big 5 are very close and NOT in a zoo. Free ranging.
Im sure you will one day! 🙂 just save up, it can be expensive
Yes, it does look expensive, and them the temptation of all those shopping malls as well lol.
Happy travels 🛬☀️
The shopping can be a little cheaper than most places. However, with so many stores you can alot of unnecessary stuff
Yes – this could be dangerous with the credit card lol 😜
😂😂 yes! Luckily i have a strong will to travel to more countries
Can’t wait to see hear all about them – and see all the photos on your blog 😉✈️
Thank you!! Dubai is lovely and so photogenic.
This is fantastic. Exactly how tall is the building? How did it feel to be inside of it? Thanks for sharing!
I think it’s a mile and a half tall. Lol im american, so please dont judge me 😂 i was so scared when i went up there. I was reminded of my fear of heights
Lol! No judgement here. I had no idea how tall it was. Not sure I would go all the way to the top 😑😑. So happy for you though 🌻🦋❤
Yes it’s huge! It’s almost two times as big as the freedom tower in nyc. Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome! 🌻🦋💕
My childhood dream was to board The Blue Train, one of the world’s best and reigning luxury train in Africa. I so enjoyed it that I became a booking agent!
Wow that’s amazing! Very happy for you. I would love to do some trips in africa. Do you have a booking site?
Not yet, just do my contact form and list your requirements.
So jealous! Dubai is at the top of my list of places to go some day. Looks like you enjoyed your time!
I had a great time! Dubai is truly an awesome city. Definitely go when you get the chance
Where are you off to next?
I was just in ireland! Keep on the look out 🙂
I’m glad you got to make your dream a reality! Good for you!
Thank you! Anybody can do it! 🙂

Born and working here and summer here in UAE is very very hot lol hoep you had a good time tho
Lol yes i noticed! I had a great time over there!
I really like Dubai!
Yes dubai is amazing!
I wanted to “like” your post. but i don’t seem to see the button. i can like individual comments but not the post.
Weird thank you for letting me know. It happens to me sometimes as well. It’s annoying
You get to some great places. Cheers Following
Thank you! I have worked very hard to be able to do this. Stay tune for more awesome posts!
SO cool! So happy you were able to take your dream vacation! My husband and I are enjoying Airbnb’s more lately too for the same reasons! Following so I can read about more of your adventures!
Thank you! Yes airbnb is awesome! Was just in Ireland and the host had a dog with my same name. Cant wait to show you! 🙂
Gosh, this is so cool. I hope I make it there someday too.
Thank you! Im sure you will do one day!
So odd how people’s dreams differ – I grew up in Kuwait/Bahrain, and the last place on earth I want to visit is Dubai… interesting to see the world from someone else’s eyes 🙂
Thank you it’s crazy. Just read your bio. You had an interesting life! I didnt think there were many Catholic Lebanese. I can understand why you might not want to visit over there. Ps my grandma is Lebanese Catholic. Didnt know until i was an adult. explains why i was blading hard at age 23 😆
Cool! Approx 30% of the Arab world was Christian at one point, with a certain number of Arab Jews as well as Muslims. South Lebanon in particular was (and in some cases still is) home to Christians, Jews, Muslims and Druze. The whole of the Middle East is a melting pot of those 3 main religions – and I’m unsure if it’s a good thing. People’s emotions tend to get the better of them, especially if those with whom they are speaking don’t agree with them. Ah well, can only lead by example in our own small corners of the world! Peace 🙂
Definitely! I didnt know that the percentage was so high. I knew Egypt had a decent number of Christians. All this is so very interesting. I gotta go to Lebanon even more now. Thank you for reading! Hope to see some of your future posts!
Lebanon is stunning, and sad… at the same time! Have a read: https://nofilternoedit.com/2018/02/25/lebanon-calling/ 🙂 if you don’t mind me sharing this post. I think a lot of places in the world would be beautiful except that they have men fighting over them… ah, hoomans! Source of inspiration and distress! LOL Peace 🙂
Looks like you really had a great time there! I need to go to Lebanon. Thank you for sharing!
🙏🏼🙏🏼
😊
This is Super!!!
Thank you so much!
That apartment is gorgeous!
Thank you! It was very beautiful! The apartment was in the middle of everything
Looks amazing! The feeling of travelling to a new place is incredible..how many nights did you stay there? Did you go anywhere else?
I stay for about 4 nights and 5 days. I went to Abu Dhabi as well.
Loved reading this!! Your trip looks very amazing!
Thank you! Dubai is amazing! A little too fancy for me but the hype is real!!
