My pursuit of my Achan’s dream – the 14th trip –UAE Trip -Jan 2019
It was Amma’s first overseas trip to UAE wherein we visited three Emirates- Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. We stayed at my cousin’s place in Abu Dhabi & the experience of exploring UAE with family was fabulous.
Dubai is known for bold architecture, luxury shopping & audacious style. It was fun to explore buzzy Dubai, Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, stunning beaches, Al Ain Zoo etc. During Dubai Shopping Festival the vibe of the city is so different. It was amazing to watch laser shows at Burj Khalifa – the tallest tower in Dubai
I had been earlier to Dubai few years ago and now was thrilled to see the changes this beautiful city had undergone. The view from Dubai Frame of both old and new Dubai is mesmerizing.
I spent an exciting evening exploring Sharjah with my college mate & her family. whom I was meeting after 20 years. I was delighted to enjoy a delicious Arabic cuisine.
The highlight of our trip was Desert Safari which is an exciting sand dune drive and I had never imagined Amma would ever be interested in it. I was surprised to see the expression on our face after the Safari like an innocent child who is thrilled after the joy ride. It was a great achievement at her age. I could see the efforts she put to convince herself to go for it. Sunset view just made the experience more memorable for us.
