An Unforgettable Summer in Dubai
Last summer, I spent my holidays in the wonderful city of Dubai,
which is located in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), in Western Asia.
Arabic and English are the spoken languages there, and Dirham is the
national currency.
First, I went to the Burj Khalifa, which is one of the most famous and
tallest buildings in the world. From the observation deck, I enjoyed a breath-
taking view of the city. There, you can also find shops and buy souvenirs for
your friends and family.
Then, I visited the Dubai Mall, one of the largest shopping malls in the world. It includes hundreds of
shops, an aquarium, and even an ice-skating rink. What most attracts me there is the Dubai Fountain, which
features incredible water and light shows.
After that, I went to Jumeirah Beach, where I was amazed by the clear blue waters and the luxurious
hotels nearby, including the iconic Burj Al Arab. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy water sports.
Finally, I visited the Dubai Desert Safari, where I experienced thrilling dune bashing and enjoyed a
traditional Bedouin camp with delicious food and cultural performances.
I really loved my trip to Dubai. It is absolutely one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited, and I
am planning to go back there to explore more of its modern and traditional attractions.
