Dubai : My First Experience


Dubai is synonymous with an idea of a luxury lifestyle, images of luxury sports cars, extravagant architecture  like the Burj Khalifa  and the Burj Al Arab and that it’s a city in a desert.
As I left the airport the Dubai humidity hit me like the exhaust fumes of a racing car, it was so sudden that my glasses steamed up and I was sweating through my sweater. It’s funny that the holiday adverts conspicuously failed to mention just how hot it is in Dubai.
Throughout my stay in Dubai I lodged  at the Ibis Al Rigga hotel which is located in the old part of Dubai.
