Hello be-e-a-utiful people! So Happy New Year! Hope 2014 is a good one for All ☺ and we try and stick to our resolutions if we have some. This year I decided on none, as every year they somehow always fall through; so I have goals that I need to set dead lines for…
Today is my third day at work, i really would like to pull my hair out coz I'm that bored. The weather in Cape Town has been somewhat strange! Rain in the middle of summer and to make it worse is that it's cold which is so weird!
So I started my new year on a good note, I went on the best holiday ever! ♥ Visited Dubai and Abu Dhabi, UAE- amazing experiences. So activities varied from the Night Safari in Dubai's desert to Atlantis water park at The Palm. Both amazing experiences, the deserts beauty of endless dunes to a lovely lounge after a wild drive across the sand was so crazy! Atlantis's slides and almost water like coasters were also amazing along with the scary steep slide which was so much fun!
 |
| The Desert Safari- at sunset. So beautiful and a really Middle Eastern experience. |
 |
| The camp site, where you lounge until the tour is over. It's in the middle of nowhere but it is so cool, there is henna tattoos, food and drinks included as well as entertainment. |
 |
| Camel rides lol |
 |
| Belly Dancer doing her dancing to arabian music |
 |
| Buffet dinner, kebabs, potatoes, noodles. Options really varied but this was my meal |
 |
| Fun in the sun, water slides, coasters and pools... |
 |
| The drive to Atlantis |
 |
| "The leap of faith" Steepest water slide ever! So intense. |
Then in Abu Dhabi we visited Ferrari World and the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Going on the fastest roller coaster in the world did not agree with me unfortunately lol BUT I'm glad I got to do it and even more amazed that my Aunt went on it *Sjoe*- Acceleration: 0-240km/h in 4.9sec, 0 -100km/h in 2sec. Anyways the Grand Mosque was a breathtaking building, the opulence of the architecture and interior was something so different.

Highlights included seeing Theee taaaallest building in the world…The Burj Khalifa stunning! You cannot believe how tall it is lol and then the Burj Al Arab, the only 7 star hotel in the world. At Jumeirah The Palm.

Hope you all have some insight on dubai now, you feel safe because no one bothers you and it is such a clean place. Would definitely recommend it to the world! But remember one place one time, only until you've seen it all... Have a great Wednesday and deal with this weather a little bit longer…hopefully the sunshine pops up soon again ☺
