I decided to wake up early. What was easy because of the jet lag haha. I made a plan for the whole day and I was very excited. I took a taxi to historical Dubai and walked around the old streets while the sun was rising. It was so peaceful! I loved the big canal with all the vintage little boats. I booked a boat trip and had the privilege I was the only passenger on board. Wauw what a view and experience. Flowing over the water, a soft breeze in my hair and the sun rising and glowing over the water. For me it was pure magic! A morning I would like to have every day. I was on board with just the captain. He was a funny local guy. He controlled the boat with his feet and took pictures of me in the meantime. What a great boat trip it was.
After that I walked around the market and took the taxi to Burj al Arab, the famous hotel at Jumeirah beach. Lots of people took photos. It was fun for me to see it but it wasn’t that spectacular as I thought it would be. There was also construction work going on in that space. That took the magic a bit away. So I took another taxi quite quickly to JBR beach to score my brunch. JBR beach is such a relaxed area! Lots of restaurants, little shops and a lovely beach. The vibe is just perfect. Everything is very clean! I had a chill time here having great food and had some rest on the beach.
That night I took myself out for a fancy rooftop dinner at the uptown bar in the Jumeirah beach hotel. Wow what a view, what a great food and delicious wine! Wonderful to see the sunset kissing the city goodbye with her warm light covering the whole place and the moon shining bright above it. Slowly It is changing to complete darkness, and then it’s time for the city to stand out in her sparkling lights! What a day it was!
