Affected by the epidemic, outbound tourism has been completely suspended in the past three years. With the COVID-19 epidemic, at the beginning of the New Year, good news is finally coming. Starting from February 6, outbound team tours have been resumed across the country. The enthusiasm of tourists from all over the country has not diminished, and the first outbound tour groups have set off one after another. It feels like they need to be released after a long time.

Taking advantage of this craze, we also joined in the fun and signed up for a "Light Luxury. The "Thousand and One Nights 6 Days in United Arab Emirates" tour group visited Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates from February 26 to March 3. Having the opportunity to experience and appreciate Dubai, a place known as "I am the richest in the world with a piece of cloth on my head", it will not take long to go from an uninhabited desert to a modern international metropolis that has emerged in the sky, to a trade capital in the Middle East and North Africa., then to the world's tallest building that stands straight into the sky. Nowadays, Dubai has become a tourist destination, attracting tourists from all over the world.

The specific itinerary is as follows:

D1 February 26 (Sunday) Shantou-Guangzhou-Dubai

Today is the first day of departure, so the journey will be a little harder. I have to rush to Chaoshan Airport early in the morning and take the morning flight to Guangzhou, so that I can meet the team leader at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport at noon. After completing the relevant procedures, we took China Southern Airlines flight CZ383 from Guangzhou to Dubai at 15:15, which took more than 9 hours. Arrived in Dubai after 9 p.m. local time, and it was already past 10 p.m. when arriving at the hotel. After more than 20 hours of travel around the day, I feel a little tired and hurry to rest. Tomorrow, I will have the sightseeing activities that I started in spirit.

Stay late at Dubai International Hotel.

tips

1. The time difference between United Arab Emirates and my country is 4 hours, which means that local time is 4 hours slower than domestic time.

2. The United Arab Emirates has a tropical desert climate. The year is divided into two seasons: the hot season (summer) from May to October, the weather is hot and humid, and the temperature will exceed 40 degrees; the cool season (winter) from November to April of the following year, with a mild and sunny climate, with sometimes rainfall, and the temperature is 15 - 35 degrees.

3. During the period when we were traveling, the temperature was mostly between 22 and 32 degrees, which was a more suitable season for traveling in the local area. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so you can usually wear short-sleeved clothes and a thin coat.

D2 February 27 (Monday) Dubai-Abu Dhabi

After having a hearty breakfast at the hotel in the morning, we first arrived at Jume Irah Beach, overlooking Dubai's most famous Burj Hotel from the beach. Then we rushed to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, which took about two and a half hours. Today's main itinerary is to visit Sheikh Zaid Mosque. On the way, you can see the city's features such as the Abu Dhabi Presidential Palace, Coastal Avenue and many well-known buildings.

According to reports, Sheikh Zaid Mosque is the largest mosque in the Middle East, costing as much as US$5.5 billion. The interior is inlaid with tens of thousands of precious stones and shells. The unique appreciation value is the US$800,000 each Schlowesch crystal chandelier, as well as the world's largest handmade carpet. The entire building complex is wrapped in white marble from Greece. The elegant white appearance is particularly solemn against the blue sky.

Late stay at Abu Dhabi hotel.

tips

1. Although Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates, its prosperity is far less than that of Dubai, and there are not many places to visit.

2. Sheikh Zaid Mosque has strict requirements for tourists, especially female tourists, visiting the mosque. Appropriate clothing must be prepared in advance as required.

D3 February 28 (Tuesday) Abu Dhabi-Dubai

Returned to Dubai from Abu Dhabi today. I first came to the Louvre in Abu Dhabi, but unfortunately the itinerary was just to admire its appearance. After returning to Dubai, I first visited a place called the "Arab Culture and Art Center". This place, whose name sounds high-profile, is actually just a store selling carpets and crafts, and it is not much to watch. Then he made a special trip to take the Palm Island Sightseeing Train to view the world's largest artificial island-Palm Island. Lunch is specially arranged at the Anantara Hotel on Island Palms, allowing everyone to enjoy a dazzling and distinctive buffet. It is rare for a group meal to be arranged in such a high-level hotel and enjoy such a rich buffet. Like it!

In the afternoon, I participated in a self-funded sand flushing project in the Dubai Desert. A company related to desert sand flushing activities sent a car to the hotel where we stayed to take everyone to the Dubai Desert Camp, which is about 40 minutes 'drive away. After a short rest, take a 4WD off-road vehicle and set off into the depths of the desert to start the so-called adventurer game-sand washing. After that, we arrive at the summit of the sand dune and stop for a while, let everyone get off the bus to rest and take photos, and enjoy the desert scenery and sunset scenery. On the way back, you will also visit another desert camp, where you can enjoy a series of activities such as camel riding, watching folk performances and enjoying Arab dinners.

Stay late at the SLS Hotel in Dubai, a tall hotel that will only open in April 2021. The hotel is magnificent. What is different is that the lobby is located on the 71st floor, the restaurant is on the 74th floor, and there is an outdoor infinity swimming pool on the 75th floor; each room has a viewing balcony that overlooks the high-rise Dubai business district, and also overlooking the Burj Khalifa (Burj Khalifa). Stayed at this hotel for two consecutive nights and it was great!

tips

1. Dubai's Palm Island is a huge project that costs countless dollars. It is indeed beautiful and eye-catching, and is particularly famous. However, ordinary tourists, whether they are taking sightseeing trains or cars, cannot truly enjoy the beautiful scenery because they cannot stand at the commanding heights.

2. Sand flushing in the desert is exciting and fun. It is known as an adventurer game, but it is scary but not dangerous. It is actually quite interesting and safe. It is a self-funded project that everyone recognizes.

D4 March 1 (Wednesday) Dubai

Today's schedule was very easy, and the team did not gather until 10 a.m. After getting up in the morning and washing up, I went to the cafeteria on the 74th floor of the hotel to leisurely enjoy the rich variety of breakfast; I went to the rooftop on the 75th floor to rest and stroll, enjoying the scenery and taking photos; I also swam and played in the outdoor infinity pool, which was so comfortable.

The first stop in the morning was to visit the Emirates Palace Square in Dubai. It only stopped for a moment for everyone to enjoy the scenery and take photos before leaving. Then he came to an Iranian town. The Old City of Bastakia here is one of the oldest sites in Dubai and the only remaining Wind Tower complex on the Arabian Coast of the Gulf. Although this area is very small, it is worth spending some time to experience its atmosphere in its winding narrow streets.

After visiting the Iranian town, we went to Dubai Bay in the historical center of Dubai, and took the Arabic-characteristic water Taisi on the Dubai River to enjoy the colorful customs of Dubai Bay from different perspectives on the boat and on the shore; then the tour guide took everyone to the city of Dubai. The landmark Dubai Golden Photo Frame was seen and photographed; then we visited the ancient city of Jumeirah (Ancient Canal Town) next to the Burj Hotel and enjoyed the majesty of the Arabian Castle and the tranquility of the ancient canal; Looking at the modern beauty of the Burj Hotel in the distance, it looks interesting.

In the evening, all the group members participated in a self-funded dinner buffet at the 7-Star Burj Hotel and had the honor to visit Dubai's most famous Burj Hotel. In the evening, we came to the hotel parking lot, then walked across the beachfront plank road leading to the hotel, and wandered around the hotel building for another week. While admiring the distinctive buildings and pleasant seaside scenery, taking photos, and finally arriving at the magnificent and resplendent hotel lobby. The luxury here is beyond your imagination; the scenery here is dazzling. Although participating in this self-funded project that came here for fame is expensive, it is a pleasing pleasure to the eye. Everyone praised it and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Today is a veritable one-day trip to Dubai. Starting from the hotel buffet breakfast in the morning to the end of the buffet dinner at the Burj Inn in the evening, there are a variety of tours and activities one after another, making everyone feel full and comfortable. Along the way, cheers and laughter were heard endlessly, and happy feelings were written on their faces. Everyone was very happy.

It would be great to continue staying at SLS Hotel Dubai at night!

It has a total of 56 floors and 321 meters high. It looks like a windy sail. Guests who need to stay at the hotel or have made an appointment can enter.

D5 March 2 (Thursday) Dubai-Guangzhou

Today is the last day of sightseeing in Dubai. The itinerary is very simple, mainly visiting Dudai Mall and the exterior of the Burj Khalifa. Then I ended my entire trip in United Arab Emirates and flew back to Guangzhou on a plane at about 11 p.m. Because I have to spend the night on the plane, I will be quite tired.

The schedule is relaxed. The team gathers at 11:30 noon. They sleep until they wake up naturally in the morning. Everyone can enjoy the hotel facilities freely and easily throughout the morning. Starting from the hotel, we first went to the yacht terminal to pick up a few group members who had gone to participate in the self-funded Dubai Yacht Tour in the morning. Everyone also visited the beautiful yacht terminal. Then go to Dudai Mall Shopping Center and Burj Khalifa Observation Deck and Fountain Square. Here, everyone can relax and enjoy several hours of free time for sightseeing and shopping.

The Burj Khalifa (Burj Khalifa) is the world's tallest tower and a landmark building in Dubai. It rises into the clouds of Dubai with an unparalleled height of 828 meters and 162 floors. It is an architectural masterpiece that combines art, engineering and traditional culture. From the observation deck and fountain square here, you can see its spectacular appearance up close. I only saw it in the news media before, but today I am there. Looking up at the shining and towering towers on the observation deck, this scene is quite shocking.

Dudai Mall Shopping Center is about the size of 50 football fields. It has more than 100 restaurants, more than 1200 shops and famous brands from around the world. The mall also contains the largest indoor aquarium in the Middle East and the largest man-made indoor waterfall in the Middle East. There are a dazzling array of goods here and tourists are bustling. Everyone had a great time shopping and lingered, and many group members also bought their favorite duty-free products.

It was soon time for the team to gather at 7 p.m., and with the entire itinerary in the United Arab Emirates successfully completed, it was time to go home. Arriving at the airport, with the help of a tour guide, check in and check in luggage, and fly back to Guangzhou from Dubai Airport at 10:45 p.m. Goodbye Dubai! Goodbye to United Arab Emirates!

1. The Burj Khalifa Observation Deck and Fountain Square are good places to view the Burj Khalifa up close. There will be musical fountain performances at 12:00 noon and 12:30 pm; at 6:30 pm, but each time will only last for 5 minutes.

2. Dudai Mall Shopping Center has several floors, which is large enough and popular enough. When shopping, you should pay special attention to your direction, otherwise you will easily lose your way.

conclusion

United Arab Emirates traveled with a group for 6 days, and the round trip took more than 2 days. At best, I only spent 4 days visiting there. I took a quick tour and hurried through so many scenic spots in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Attractions, etc., of course, many attractions are just a car tour or a short stop to see the appearance and take photos.

Although it has only been a few days, from the high-rise business districts, splendid shopping malls, and tourists from all over the world who are crowded with airports, hotels, attractions, and shopping malls, people can already understand and experience Dubai's heavy reliance on oil resources. The successful transformation into trade, finance, and tourism.

This is a country that is half desert, half sea water, half oil, and half paradise. Everything here also allows people to see what extreme luxury means and what materialistic desires are. Different experiences and different feelings, all of which left a deep impression on everyone.
