October 2016, I went on a family holiday to Dubai/Abu Dhabi. It is a beautiful place and I would recommend it to anyone that they should go there! It was extremely warm with temperatures rising to 40 degrees, which was great for me as I love to sunbathe. For the first 4 days of my holiday I was in Dubai before going to Abu Dhabi for 3 days.

During my time in Dubai, I visited many places in the city such as The Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, The Palm, the desert and the Dubai Mall. Despite being scared of heights, I managed to put my fears behind me and go up the tallest building in the world, The Burj Khalifa. It was a scary but great experience that I will never forget. The Dubai Mall was the biggest shock to me, I have never seen a mall like it. It has over 1,200 shops in it and even has its own aquarium! The Mall attracts lots of people from around the world, it is visited by millions of people next year but this could be due to the Burj Khalifa being right beside the mall. If anyone goes to Dubai, they should definitely take time out to visit this mall.

During my time in Abu Dhabi, I was staying on Yas Island. The island has its own water park called Yas Waterworld, its own mall and has the track in which the Grand Prix takes place on. This part of my holiday was a chilled out few days in comparison to Dubai, we stayed in the hotel most of the days and visited the mall at night, this was also a great mall but nothing compared to the Dubai Mall! One of the days we visited the water park which was good fun.

Below here are some pictures that I had taken during my holiday. For more pictures of my holiday keep up to date with my Instagram page!
