Wide
deserted landscapes are kind of my thing, so besides exploring the
glitter and glamour of Dubai I really wanted to get out of the city and enjoy the desert. I did organize this trip with with Arabian Desert Safari Dubai and it was really awesome! It was fun experiencing the desert with my colleagues for the first time. 
First up on our desert safari itinerary was dune bashing. I didn’t know
it until we experienced it. Nakakaloka! It was such a thrill to
drive through the desert, drifting over the tall sand dunes and feeling
your stomach lurch after a steep drop over the top of a dune. Anyway, after the adrenaline high of dune bashing we drove to the desert
camp where it was time for the next activity: camel riding! 
We walked back to the camp and sat down on a slightly elevated platform
with a table and benches dressed with beautiful table cloths. From our
seat we had a nice view of the stage.
That was a good thing as there where several cultural performances:
belly dancing, the traditional tanoura dance and a fire show!
When the performances were finished and our tummies were full it was
time to leave. Altogether
it was a wonderful day: it was my first time in the desert, my first time to experience dune bashing, and the first time I rode
on camel. Thanks for viewing. 
I will sharing today one of the best highlights of my stay in Dubai, The
Burj Khalifa. Every famous city has that iconic structure to remember it by.
The Burj Khalifa is Dubai’s and deservingly so. Standing over 828 meters and
with more than 160 stories, Burj Khalifa holds countless records like tallest
building in the world, tallest free-standing structure in the world, highest
number of stories in the world, highest occupied floor in the world, highest
outdoor observation deck in the world, elevator with the longest travel
distance in the world and tallest service elevator in the world. Wow!
