UAE
Arabic Weekend
A dear childhood friend came to Dubai for the weekend. A 3-day stopover before heading back to England. After a month travelling in Asia, Cheryl decided to take the last stop for a brief Arabic adventure. It was her first time in Middle East. She has been traveling the world since we were teenagers and has lived in countless number of countries. I was so thrilled to see her! It has been more than five years since.
I've selected a few pictures of during her stay. Here's her Dubai Itinerary:
Thursday
1. Visit to Atlantis in Palm Jumeirah,
A five star hotel on the palm shaped man made island.

A dear Emirati friend of mine got married last Thursday night. After having lived here for 8 years,
It was my first time to attend one. It was interesting for us to see all the beautiful local women
and how a traditional wedding is like.
