The Skyline of Dubai from the Four Seasons Resort

Dubai is a brand new city, seriously, almost everything you see has been built in last 25 years or less! A very interesting and unique city to visit, Dubai has over the top resorts, beautiful beaches,  astounding, jaw dropping architecture and it is surrounded by the beyond beautiful Arabian desert.  


It has always been on my list and just a few weeks ago ( October 2021) I was able to combine work and pleasure with a visit to the United Arab Emirates – specifically Dubai and Abu Dhabi.


Part of my time was spent learning from some of the best in the travel industry and networking with the best hotels and partners from all over the world.   A big thank you to T-Fest.   I had an amazing time!

I also visited what I think are the BEST resorts in the area.   The Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach has a gorgeous pool, tranquil beachfront, a plethora of unique restaurants and THE most amazing view of Dubai skyline.  

And, the Al Maha in – yes THE Arabian Desert.  Each luxury tent has its own small pool with tranquil garden surrounding – where gazelles roam through the brush. All activities included with your stay to include “dune bashing”, falconry and wildlife viewing. This was my absolute favorite stop of the trip!  

I finished the trip  with a stay at The Palace Downtown at the base of the Burj Khalifa and with a view of its amazing fountains.  

Visiting Abu Dhabi for the day or a night or two is a must if in Dubai.  The Mosque and Presidential Palace are breathtakingly beautiful.
