Travel to Dubai :: My Story

Have you ever wanted to travel to Dubai and wondered if it’s more than just a layover? What is there to see? What’s the city really like? Well, you’re in the right place! This is the start of a series of blog posts sharing my travel to Dubai, filled with personal stories and firsthand anecdotes.

Before You Travel to Dubai

I spent a month in Dubai during the summer, not knowing what to expect beyond a world of luxury and glamour. So many things took me by surprise that I ended up writing my own Dubai travel book. This “Travel to Dubai” series is exactly that—a collection of experiences, reflections, and lessons about what mesmerized and astonished me in this unique city.

Join me as I share fun stories, helpful tips, and useful info. Everything you need to know before you travel to Dubai is right here.

All the posts are linked below, and you can follow along with each one (you’ll find the link to the next post at the end of the current one). I hope you enjoy discovering the city through my eyes as much as I enjoyed exploring it.

If you prefer to have everything in one place, with bonus content and more stunning photos, head over to the Shop page of the blog and grab your copy of the Dubai travel eBook.

Not only will you get the true essence of the city, but you’ll also be guided by two captivating characters who will make it impossible to put the book down!
