Breakfast was a delight with lots of cooked options and also cereals. The outside dining area is a stunning place to eat or order drinks from the rugby sports themed bar on premises. The outdoor luxurious swimming pool has to be experienced to soak up the sun and unwind. There is also a gym and concierge service. This was a beautiful relaxing hotel situated perfectly close to the Mall and Burj Park. A few steps away is the iconic Wings of Mexico statue for more Instagram worthy pictures! The hotel is also a good base if you are wishing to head to another area of Dubai to explore where you can find Dubai Frame and Zabeel Park. Dubai Frame is yet another of the city’s

famous attractions. The building (shaped like a giant picture frame!) is 150m tall and you walk across the indoor glass bridge that connects the two towers. Are you brave enough to look down? The Frame was built to show off the city’s historic district to one side and the modern landscape to the other side. In the Frame you get to learn about the history of the City and yet again take in those amazing views. The NInja got to the Frame for opening time and there was no waiting time. Get up early folks! The traffic in Dubai can get quite busy so make sure and plan your journeys accordingly and getting to all your places early in the morning for opening time really is the way to do it. Dubai has lots of Uber drivers, taxis and public transport

but just plan that little bit extra so as not to be late. Once you have finished taking all your pictures in and around Dubai Frame you can spend some more relaxing time with a dander around Zabeel Park. A short distance (but not walkable, sorry!) from the Frame is The Museum of the Future “where the future lives”. This is a very popular destination in Dubai so make sure to pre-book your ticket and arrive at your allocated time. Imagine a Museum set in 2071, this is the setting for this amazing attraction – in one of the most unique building shapes you will ever set foot in. There are many different floors to this museum that need to be seen to be believed. My highlight? Seeing the DNA Library of (literally!) thousands of species. It was simply fascinating as was the “Senses” area of the Museum. The gift shop was one of the best ones around so there are plenty of unique mementos to bring back of your adventures in the future. And after
all that, the NInja was (understandably!)
exhausted! Getting back from Dubai to Abu Dhabi was through a private car transfer from Etihad (available complimentary for all business class customers) and was a nice relaxing way to end our journey of this amazing city and country. The transfer can be booked through Etihad and is just another great service that they provide to their customers. Picked up from your hotel you are dropped off at the airport in Abu Dhabi in plenty of time before the return journey back to Dublin (approx. 8 hours on the way back). Dubai is quite simply amazing. It has something for everyone. Do you want a city break with plenty of shopping? Dubai has it. Do you want a relaxing beach holiday? Dubai has it. Do you want to visit lots of attractions? Dubai has it. Do you want world class hotels and experience amazing cuisine? Dubai has it. Do you want a mix of all of these? You guessed it, Dubai has it! There is nothing this place doesn’t have and really HAS to be seen to be believed.
