During our visit to Dubai, one of the highlights of our trip was a visit to Ski Dubai, located in the Mall of Emirates. We decided to take public transportation to reach the mall and boarded a tram followed by a metro, which took us around 45 minutes from our Airbnb apartment in Dubai Marina. We found traveling via the metro very convenient as the stations are well-connected to all the major malls in the city.

As we reached the mall, we were amazed to see an entire winter wonderland built inside. It was fascinating to see an Iceland built in the mall, especially considering that Dubai's temperatures are usually high. We had booked Snow Premium tickets, which included skiing classes and a penguin show. The experience was truly amazing as we got the opportunity to click photographs and touch some of the rarest breeds of penguins.

The Snow Park was huge and offered several exciting activities, including skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing, and bobsledding. We visited the penguins, and it was a unique experience to be up close and personal with these fascinating creatures. We got to learn about the different breeds of penguins and their behavior in their natural habitat. The penguin show was also a delight to watch, as these adorable creatures waddled around and interacted with the audience.

After a thrilling experience at Ski Dubai, we headed to our next destination, Global Village. We decided to take a taxi from the Mall of Emirates to reach Global Village. As we reached there, we were mesmerized to see the reflection of the culture of every country from around the world. But what made it stand out was the way it was presented - with light shows, events, and food stalls that added to its uniqueness. We highly recommend this place to everyone who visits Dubai, as it is a must-watch attraction.

We had booked a full-day private car to take us to Abu Dhabi. Our driver arrived at our apartment at 9:00 a.m., and we promptly set off on our journey. It took us approximately an hour and a half to reach our first destination, the Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque. The mosque was an architectural marvel, with its intricate marble work, towering arches, and stunning chandeliers. The carpets were also exquisitely crafted, leaving us in awe. After our visit to the Grand Mosque, we headed to the Warner Bros theme park, the world's largest indoor theme park. The park features legendary characters from the DC universe and is divided into four sections, each portraying different DC stories. We had the chance to interact with several DC superheroes and found the rides to be thrilling. The food was delectable, and the shawarma and pizza at the cafes added to the overall experience.

We decided to keep the first half of the day free to relax in our apartment. Later in the afternoon, at around 2:00 p.m., our transfer arrived to take us to the Desert Safari. It took us approximately an hour and a half to reach the destination, and we had already pre-booked a quad biking session. The half-hour quad biking experience was nothing short of exhilarating, as we felt the adrenaline rush through our bodies while zooming down the sand dunes.

After quad biking, we proceeded to embark on the safari, which lasted for about an hour. The ride was thrilling and adventurous, with smooth ups and downs that made us scream with joy. We even made a quick stop to capture some unforgettable memories. Our evening ended with a stunning dinner at a breathtaking location, where the food was absolutely delicious and the show was outstanding.

We visited the Museum of the Future by taking a tram connected to the Metro at the Emirates tower station. Having a Nol card for traveling around Dubai is extremely convenient as it can be used for public buses, taxis, and metro rides. The Metro is linked to the entrance of the Museum of the Future. It was a remarkable piece of architecture, and we were in awe of the site of the museum. As we explored the different levels of the Museum, we were left speechless. It was an unforgettable experience.

After the Museum, we headed to the Dubai Mall aquarium, which was equally mesmerizing. The aquatic creatures were fascinating to watch, and we enjoyed exploring both the aquatic tunnel and underwater zoo sections. We saw various species of animals and birds in their different environments but in the same place.

Next, we watched the spectacular water fountain show, known as the dancing fountain, located at the same mall as the aquarium. The fountain's unique features and ability to display water emotions thoroughly was impressive. We saw the show on a floating water bridge, close enough to feel the water's mist.

After the water fountain show, we headed to the Burj Khalifa. The entrance to the massive building was impressive. As we made our way to the main elevator, we learned about the history behind the creation of the Burj Khalifa. The view from the top was breathtaking, especially as the night sky shone through the windows.

We left our hotel around 9 in the morning, carrying our luggage with us. We finally arrived at the dolphin show at around 10:30 am. The show started at 11 am sharp, and the dolphins were a delight to watch as they played around in the water. After enjoying the show, we headed towards Meena Bazar, where we spent a good 4 hours shopping for various items such as perfumes, bags, watches, and more. We explored the market, taking in the vibrant atmosphere and the hustle-bustle of the shoppers around us. Finally, at around 6 pm, we made our way to the airport, which was an hour's drive away.
