DUBAI DELIGHTS
|
As i was on my flight to UAE to join my husband after r weddin various thoughts were goin thru my mind regardin a new life, regardin a new place .Hmm… a new place .sounds excitin.
DUBAI is one of the 7 emirates that make THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES . as i entered the dubai airport i already was gettin the feel of the city which looked very classy n lavish . i was waitin to catch a glimpse of my hubby n wow he is in frnt of me equally elated . now we are on the way to our home zoomin in r land rover i m thoroughly enjoyin the sight of the city with an array of the date palms trees . vast well maintained roads with sky raise buildings burj-dubai being the tallest tower in the world n what is more appreciable is the greenery maintained even under humid conditions.
dubai is a shopppers city with numerous malls caterin to ur needs . one of the famous malls is the mall of emirates with over 70 restuarents n the biggest skiing dome in the world known as the ski dubai .real cool fun to beat the heat .also famous is the Ibn batoota mall which gets its name frm a persian traveller . there r various themes made in the mall includin indian apart frm the eygptian , the chinese n various others .the mall is also a kind of mueseum with splendid roofs n chandliers
also famous 4 its gold theres an exotic gold souk comprisin more than 300 jewellers. as u go around u can see all that glitters is gold gold n only gold.
frm the bustle of the city to the desert of golden sand dunes .the arabian adventure - the desert safari is a roller coaster ride in the sand dunes makin u shreik n laugh as the car goes up n down the dunes .there r also camel rides. after the ride u can relax in the traditional bedouin tents ,try the traditinal dress n apply henna while enjoyin the arabian food beside a blazin bonfire with traditional cups of tea n dates .
n ofcorse the beaches a good way to njoy the weekend
everythin abt dubai was fantastic . a home away frm home . though we have shifted to ireland now but the 6 mnths i lived there will always have a special place in my heart. | |

last sunday i woke up at 5.30am…oh no it wasnt 4 my joggin or the mornin prayers.dressed in my fav pair of jeans with a deep pink polo necked tee , complimenting my ownself ,im excitetedly packin a few chicken rolls n fruit juices. after all we were goin on a long drive…
the weather also seemed as lively with the early mornin sun tryin to reach out the flowers thru the mist.it was a 4 hr drive frm dublin to clare . clare being famous 4 the cliffs of moher
breathtakingly beautiful,amazingly awesome, surprisingly spectacular.ah….defenitely im short of words descibin the scenic views of ireland.the 4 hrs seemed so short.zoomin in r red puegot, gazin at the exotic green mountains.with autumn at its bst the leaves with shades of reddish brown n yellow ,with all colors of a rainbow leavin a magical spell.mid way mum called up n even she cud feel my enthu listenin to the chirpy tone.
at last we reach the cliffs of moher stretchin upto 8kms , 700 feet high along the atlantic coast.the winds were quite intense makin the waves rise upto the cliffs .many a time i felt the winds wud even take me along.it was more beautiful than i had imagined . better than the pics.
by the time we returned it was already 8pm.in the chillin cold havin a bite of kebabs at an arabian joint. wat cud be a better day than this.
tried visitin other places too, abt an hr drive frm dublin like the wicklow mountains havin ireland’s highest waterfalls called the powerscout wfalls n glendalough meanin a glen of two lakes.
oh nature! i can never get enough of u.

writin abt my travels has always been very interstin, makes me feel i m on a tour again.
my trip to london defenitely a memorable experience .it was double happiness as i cud also meet my brother who studies there.as we board the plane n settle down we almost reach as its just an hr journey frm ireland.fortunately the weather was also quite pleasent .
we started off by visiting the madam tussads muesuem . n i must say wat a wonder .evrybody was so enthu as if they have met real stars.to add to the fun , a girl was takin the picture of the wax model of penelope cruz . i didnt notice n stood in between . my hubby dragged me aside to giv her a way. i said sorry n moved . my brother went ,hold the girl n started laughing coz even she was a wax model. we all started laughin then . got a bit confused coz the model was dressed fully n face covered with the camera.
then we took the open top city bus tour .things seen only on the television were in frnt of me.the zeal was only increasin with every destination .coverin many of the famous places like the big ben,the london bridge,the westminster abbey, st pauls cathedral, the buckingham palace ….. the beauty of london is its arhitecture conserved over the yrs.the tour also included the thames river cruise.in the open sky, njoyin the waves in the company of my luved ones .wat more cud i ask 4……
over the thames river is a structure like a giant wheel consisting of glass cubicles called the london eye .as it slowly rotates it provides an amazin view of the city .
it was r last day in london .there wasnt much time to catch the flight back home ,so just went around a nearby palace called the kensington with vast gardens n a luvly lake .kids feedin the ducks added to the beauty of the the place.
back to ireland but still carrying the hangover .would always luv to b in this trance…
