DUBAI

So I normally shoot and plan blog posts way in advance, normally around 10 days prior to posting .

But I suddenly remembered I did not post about my recent holidays.

A couple of days after the football season finished Paul and I jetted to Dubai.

As I was on holiday and suppose to be relaxing and enjoying quality time with Paul I didn't take my camera on holiday, so only had my iPhone to take pictures.

I absolutely love Dubai, I have visited 11 times to date and it has to be one of my favourite places in the world.

More recently I have been visiting Dubai with just the children during the school holidays when Paul has work commitments and is not able to travel, so it was nice to enjoy it with Paul for 5 nights before returning back a few weeks later with the children for a week.

We went with the view that we would chill out and not do much ..... how very wrong were we!!! especially when half of the football league tend to holiday there at the same time.. So lots of drinking and partying was the reality! 

We stayed at the Westin this time along with a few other couples.

My favourite places to visit are;

Pai Thai Restaurant at the Dar Masyaf Hotel , Madinat Jumeirah  

Zero Gravity Beach Club

Dubai Fountains 

Nasimi Beach at the Atlantis Hotel

Burj Khalifa

Burj al Arab

Brunch -
fantastic everywhere.

We also visited a few clubs but like many clubs outside of the UK smoking is still allowed, so this was a blast from the past the next morning when I remembered the disgusting stale smoke smell lingering in my hair.
