Absolutely a manmade wonder, an international city with expats. more than locals, its uniqueness can’t be put in words. While in Dubai, you may never feel home sick. Actually they have better Indian things than v find here in India. Starting from southern supermarket chain ‘Lulus’ to Iskon’s pure veg restaurant, ‘Govinda’ to umpteen saree shops in Meena Bazaar, you will never miss the ‘indianness’ of this international city.
The occasion was our first anniversary; the gift was a beautiful stay in the sea inspired Atlantis on a manmade palm leaf and the surprise was an early morning hot air balloon flight in the desert, yes the trip was planned amazing. And as was expected, it turned out better than my words can describe. The lush green parks or the amazing water parks, nothing makes you feel u are in a desert. You can actually spend a whole day in water parks and come out scratch free.
As for the food... olives, dates and sesame take a place of pride in Arabic food. And their bread is so soft in the middle and crispy on top. But the problem with Dubai is that everything else is so overwhelming, that you actually forget about food and immerse yourself in shopping, sightseeing and packing.
