We’re planning a trip to Dubai. Sounds impressive, doesn’t it? Luxury, skyscrapers and stories from 1001 nights ✨📖.
Fragrances, great food and no, apparently no wine. And it gets even better: I know someone there who in turn knows everyone and will see him again – let’s see if we recognize each other. This will also be a reunion with my 30-year-old career-oriented self, so to speak 😉
Walking barefoot through the warm sand of the #desert before the first coffee, marveling at the sunrise over the dunes 🌅, taking a deep breath and feeling like you’re in the ancient #Orient. Snack on fresh dates from the souk, relax in the shade… and then, all of a sudden: #skiing in the middle of the #heat ⛷️ – how crazy can a human life be? And this is what the program could look like: strolling through warm days, doing nothing – except simply living. In slow motion. And with lots of sunshine in our hearts. 💛
#Dubai – even the name sounds like an important trading center and modernity: luxury and skyscrapers, visiting the historic Al Fahidi district – for me, more history and roots than glitz and glamor, please. Stroll through winding alleyways in the Al Fahidi district, discover traditional wind towers and historic mud houses – feel how Dubai lived before the big boom 🤎🕌 Then visit the Dubai Museum with stories of yesterday or the Museum of the Future?
I have to remember that the markets here are called souks: into the colorful chaos of the souks in Deira! The spice souk literally explodes with colors and smells – saffron, cinnamon, rose petals… 🌶️🌸 Right next door, the gold souk sparkles “as if you were in a treasure from 1001 nights 💛” – says the travel guide. Breathtaking architecture in the Jumeirah Mosque, on the other hand, with a deeply moving atmosphere, or off to the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa (828 m) with the fastest elevators in the world and many other records.
For my professional self – here the 3 most luxury hotels in Dubai:
# Burj Al Arab Jumeirah (7 star icon) – incredibly expensive and luxurious
# Armani Hotel Dubai in the Burj Khalifa – incredibly chic and clean
# One&Only The Palm – incredibly exclusive and prominent
Beautiful, shiny and chic – I’m really excited to see what dreams can become reality there. As a small start i have put together what our house has to offer in terms of oriental flair 🙂
=> Any tipps of what to do – or maybe of what not to do?
