City Tour and Desert Safari   

Morning: We embarked on a Half-Day City Tour, discovering the blend of old and new in Dubai. Our guide took us to several places like Dubai Creek, Spice Souk, Al Seef, Jumeirah Mosque, and Burj Al Arab. It was fascinating to see how history and modernity coexist. We also took the thrill of riding an Abra boat which was the best part of the tour.  

Afternoon: Our next stop was the desert. We raced over sand dunes, rode camels, and savoured a delicious BBQ dinner under the twinkling desert stars. Desert Safari was an adventure we'd never forget.

Abu Dhabi Bound

Afternoon: Our excitement continued as we explored Ferrari World, an amusement park dedicated to all things Ferrari. We kicked off our adventure with a thrilling ride on the Formula Rossa, the world's fastest roller coaster. Later, I was surprised to see my parents being more excited about teh rides. Honestly, Ferrari World wasn't just about speed; it was a day of bonding, laughter, and creating memories with the two people I hold closest to my heart.  

Warner Bros. World  

Full Day: Taking my parents to Warner Bros. World was an absolute blast. The moment we stepped inside, their eyes lit up with excitement. Our adventure began with a wild ride on the Batwing Spaceshot. I'll never forget the look of sheer exhilaration on my dad's face as we soared into the sky and dropped back to Earth. Mom couldn't stop laughing, and her joy was infectious.  

Lunch was a delicious affair at the Starlight restaurant. In the afternoon, we ventured into Cartoon Junction, where we had a blast on whimsical rides and interacted with beloved Looney Tunes characters.  

The day ended with us watching a spectacular parade featuring our favourite cartoon characters.
