We were planning a trip to Dubai for quite a long time. The plan did not realize for a while for one reason or another. Finally, we were able to visit the city of dreams last Christmas and spent a few memorable days there. Below is my Dubai Travelogue providing a detailed account of our trip. Hopefully, the details below can be of help in planning your own vacation.<\/p>\n

Dubai is one of the most frequently visited overseas destinations by Indian tourists. The primary reason for the same is the glamour of Dubai, I guess. There are many man-made wonders that have made Dubai one of the sought after tourist destinations especially to Indians. The short travel time and availability of Indian Diaspora and food also act as catalysts.<\/p>\n

But we were not only interested to see and experience the man-made marvels at Dubai. We were also keen to go beyond those glitzy sky-scrapers to get a feel of the old world, to get the smell of the desert and the barren land. So, in addition to spending time in modern Dubai, we spent considerable time on the streets of Bur Dubai and Deira.<\/p>\n

We strolled along Dubai creek and crossed it by Abra multiple times. We did day trips to Al Ain and Fujairah. To be honest, we found these excursions to be more rewarding (and less expensive) than aimlessly and endlessly walking and shopping in the gigantic malls in Dubai.<\/p>\n
