DUBAI: EVER SURPRISING EMIRATE
Last May, I spend few days in Dubai. Why Dubai? At first for a simple question of logistics. I was living in Hong Kong and I wanted to spend time with one of my relatives who lived in Paris. Dubai happens to be quite halfway between Hong Kong and Paris.
However once I booked the trip, I realized the diverse aspects of Dubai and how different it was compared to destination I previously travelled to. I wanted to chill but also to discover those facets. Therefore, we booked a safari in the desert, a delicious restaurant to celebrate and a comfy hotel nearby the Marina.
It was this simple. But so efficient! Discover my favorite spots of Dubai below!

Respect the customs: This is going to be obvious for most of you guys. But I believe it is important to reming it to you. Please adapt your wardrobe to the traditions and the customs of the countries you are visiting. It is a matter of respect.
Be eco-friendly: If you plan to do a safari in the desert like I did, I would like to encourage you to pick an organization that is in favor of the protection environment and preservation of the biodiversity. Try to avoid as much as you can quad tours. Find below the link of the organization with which I did my safari in the desert during my stay in Dubai.
