Trip to Dubai - Days 2, 3 and 4 - The Atlantis, The Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Mall , Yas Water World and Ski Dubai- Mall of Emirates

March 2013

Day 2 : 

Palm Jumeirah and the Atlantis Dubai 

So after an exciting first day where we visited the Burj Khalifa an architectural marvel we started of day 2 by visiting another marvel, the man made islands of the Palm Jumeirah and the famous Atlantis Hotel. We did not want to take any chances like the previous day ( where we did not get a taxi) and booked one at our hotel . It was a good 30 minute drive from our hotel to the Palm Jumeirah , but a real picturesque one as we passed most of Dubai`s famous attractions enroute. 

Trip to The Middle East Hub - Dubai - Day 1, Landing in Dubai , Dubai Kartdome & visiting the Burj Khalifa

Gone are the times when I used to keep watching Haifa Wehbe inspired Arabian makeup tutorials on YouTube, am gonna see some beautiful Arabic Women in reality...!!!! This was my state of mind when it was suddenly decided that we would be going to Dubai for a small 4 day trip in March 2013.

Dubai, a hub that connects the West & the East has a mix of different ethnic groups.The idea for a trip came up suddenly in the month of Feb  & we had only a month to book our flights, hotels & the attractions.

We traveled as a family of 6 members & wanted to try the low-fare airlines Indigo which had introduced International flights only then. We had booked JW Marriott for our stay which had  just been inaugurated & we got great deals. 

The journey was a comfortable four and a half hour flight from Chennai. The views that greeted us when the flight was entering into the middle eastern airspace was enthralling- Arid deserts with the deep blue sea alongside.
