[Trip to UAE] The last day in Dubai

Изображение
Unfortunately, everything has an end, and my dream trip to Dubai finished as well. But it doesn’t mean that I gonna stay in the hotel or cafe and just count time till my flight. I have other plans for my last day in Dubai. First of all breakfast at the hotel, I already told you about awesome service there.  So, we are going to Jumeirah Mosque . Of course, it is not so fantastic as Sheikh Zayed Mosque which is located in Abu Dhabi. But Jumeirah Mosque is an only mosque which opens its doors to everyone regardless to religion.  I took a bus from my hotel, it goes directly to the mosque, and also, you can enjoy beautiful landscapes, like a city tour bus. By the way, I find regular public buses more touristic than city tour buses. Some local buses have a perfect route to see the main sights. Every day at 10AM mosque proceeds a small tour around the mosque and tell visitors about the mosque and religion. After the tour visitors can talk to Imam, and take pictures. ...

T oday I will continue my story about trip to Dubai. As I already told you in last post the United Arab Emirates are famous not only by Burj Khalifa, but also by the Empty Quarter, or as it also well-known Rub al Khali. It is the world’s largest sand desert . And as one of the most touristic country UAE couldn’t ignore that nature gift. Every second tourist, who is coming to UAE, reserve a safari tour to the desert. It is a very unusual tour. And actually, I am not what is more impressive the desert itself or big cars — jeeps, which tourist ride during that safari tour. So, as every second tourist I also booked that tour. It costed me 40 USD . The duration of tour is approximately 6 hours . No, it doesn’t mean that you will ride the jeep for 6 hours and explore deserts. But, actually, you will be tranfered by jeep from your hotel to Abu Dhabi, where the desert is located. This tour is usually an evening tour, because at that time you can also enjoy a sunset and performance. ...
