Me and My Dream Dubai

I don’t think there would be anyone who hasn’t heard the name, Dubai at least once in their lifetime. It was my lifetime dream to visit the most mesmerizing city in the world. I heard the city’s name not from any history book or from any newspaper. It was through my father and uncle that I came to know about this city and its beauty. My father and uncle were working in a construction company as a supervisor in Dubai. Not like today, my dad used to get only 45 days of holiday once a year. Whenever he used to visit us he used to bring lots of chocolates, toys, and dresses. It was for chocolates which I used to wait eagerly. I used to always ask my dad what is there in Dubai that makes it so special and different from other countries. With an innocent smile, he used to reply that the residents over there believe in the principle ‘nothing is impossible if one has strong will power and immense dedication’. He also added it is one of the few cities in the world who knows to preserve their traditional and cultural values while running behind the modernity. Because of my dad, the place became an inevitable part of my life. From my childhood, I used to tell my friends one day I will certainly visit this fascinating city.

Before completing graduation my dad got retired and returned back from his job to our home town. Soon after my studies, I got placed in a reputed multinational company through campus placement. Many of my cousins were relocated to Dubai as part of their job and marriage. They used to upload many photographs of beautiful places in Dubai. It was my biggest dream to visit the world’s eighth wonders and the tallest skyscraper known as Burj Khalifa and many other wondrous monuments. I used to feel very sad by seeing the pic. Looking at my sadness it was my dearest friend who recommended about Dubai Tour Trawel and their excellent packages. She also mentioned that this time they were grabbing the customers by providing a special offer for the people of Hyderabad to tour Dubai. I was really thrilled. Words are insufficient to describe my excitement. I shared this happy news with my family. At first, they were hesitant to avail of the package as it might be very expensive. But I explained to them their features and their hospitality of the tour partner. Also, I showed them the feedback and reviews of the people who availed their packages. After going through the testimonials they were pleased and agreed to travel to Dubai.

Finally, that day arrived. It was very really difficult for me to believe that am going to visit my dream destination. We, a group of nearly 100 travelers together boarded a flight from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad to Dubai International Airport in Dubai. We reached Dubai in the morning. The tour representatives were there to receive us at the airport. They guided us to one of the best hotels in Dubai. After refreshment, we started our sightseeing. They first took us to the world’s tallest building Burj Khalifa. We remain startled by seeing its height. The tour guide, as well as our dad, shared many stories behind its constructions which were not revealed to any public media. After waiting for a while we got the entry pass to the observatory deck located on the 124th floor of the building. We remain dumbstruck by seeing the stupendous beauty of the entire city. The observation deck provides a panoramic view of the whole Dubai city. Just for a moment, I thought whether am watching any dream. I asked my younger sister (whom we call ‘chotu’) to pinch me to make me realize that this is not a dream. She giggled and pinched me. We also had a marvelous lunch in the sky on the 126th floor. Followed to Burj Khalifa we visited the most famous Dubai Mall. Dubai Fountain which is located adjacent to the mall is worth to see. In the evenings the fountain is illuminated with various colors. Dubai Mall is a haven for shopaholics. The mall comprises of more than 100 shops.  It not only consists of textiles and cosmetics shops but also many recreational centers such as gym, fitness club. It also offers a plethora of opportunities to indulge in various games. We availed the tour package in the month of January so we were blessed to participate in the world’s famous Dubai Shopping Festival. From there we purchased several antique items and garments. Also, we did a little bit of gold shopping too. From there we visited the man-made archipelago known as Palm Islands. The islands are constructed in the shape of the palm. Only the Palm Jumeirah Island can be visited. Followed to it we went to Dubai Miracle Garden. Our tour guide told us that the garden was inaugurated on 14th February i.e. on Valentine’s Day. The garden is home to thousands of varieties of flowers. Some flowers are decorated in the shape of various patterns like animals, national symbols, and many more. How could we forget to visit the Dubai Aquarium and underwater zoo? The aquarium is sheltered to plenty of fishes. My sister who was pursuing a degree in Zoological was really thrilled by seeing all the fishes together which she had only learned in her textbooks. It would have been a great loss if we omit this place from our package. One can view various species of fishes and other marine creatures by traveling on a glass-bottomed boat in the aquarium. We also had a marvelous dinner with aquatic creatures in the underwater zoo. We Indians are always a fan of Bollywood actors and their movies. While learning about Dubai I heard about Bollywood Park. I asked our tour guide whether there is any possibility to visit Bollywood Park. He nodded his head with a smile and promised us to take to the park on the pre-final day. We all especially youngsters participated in various adventure games and enjoyed a lot.

On the final day, we returned back to Hyderabad with bags full of gifts and minds full of good memories. We didn’t feel Dubai trip as expensive. The package was very cheap and the expenses didn’t go beyond our expectations. We all were pleased with the hospitality offered by the Dubai team. Many people who availed tour packages from other agencies were not able to visit many important places. But we were fortunate enough to visit all the prominent spots. Thanks to the Dubai Tour Trawell team for organizing such a wonderful trip for us.
