INTRODUCTION TO DUBAI

July 3, 2017

The Sabates Crew had a rough start to the trip. To sum it up, our flight to Dallas was cancelled therefore we missed our international flight to Dubai; that same day we got rejected from two of the following flights to Dallas and eventually had to spend the night in the airport hotel. Furthermore, we had a nutritious family dinner at In and Out Burger, exhausted and hungry. Consequently, we walked a couple miles to a ice cream store that was closed and decided then to grab some ice cream from a quick outlet and enjoyed finally being in our hotel room. The following day we hitched a ride on the Emirates Airlines, where I got acquainted with the kind flight attendants, sipped on some cold drinks, ate some great food, and watched some spectacular movies. So I guess it worked out.

The following day, we finally arrived in the country 9 hours ahead of what our usual time schedule would be. Jetlagged and already drained from the 110 degree weather, the fam decided to take a dip in the pool and beach, also the temperature of a sauna, at the Hilton in Marsa, Dubai. Nonetheless, we met some men vacationing in Dubai from Saudi Arabia. After a good chat we learned about how much freedom there really was in Dubai compared to its other muslim countries especially its neighbors. There are people dressed in sundresses to women in Hijabs to others in full Niqabs, covering every inch of her body, except on occasion, their eyes. The dress code is flexible, although it is always looked upon to dress appropriately for certain events. Which leads me to our next exhibition. The Sabates gang then went to an exquisite cruise ride with dinner down the Dubai creek, exposing how beautiful and bright the Architecture truly is. That concluded our adventurous night, and the true fun was just about to begin.

Be Brave Today
