After knowing wat travel exactly is described as. I had started giving in much tym

Many people might not know it, but traveling is the school of life. For me Traveling is more than a leisure or a pleasure you can give to yourself. It is more than an activity or a sweet escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

There are so many things that you can learn from the road, life lessons that nobody can teach you unless you experience them yourself. Traveling is actually an open invitation that urges you to be the best version of yourself you can be. It plays an important role not only in your personal development but can make a great impact on your career journey too.

Traveling is full of uncertainties, just like life. You never know what will happen once you step into a destination with new surroundings and new people. Do not be afraid of the unknown; rather, anticipate it with excitement because that makes your journey worthwhile.

Traveling will open you to new challenges, things you probably have not yet discovered and experienced. Do not let those opportunities pass without trying them at least once. Broaden your horizons and go beyond the confines of your comfort zone. That's the only way you get to see things clearly and differently.

Every trip you take is an opportunity to gain more new skills, know more about yourself, and see the world from a different perspective. Never get tired of learning something new every time you set foot outside of your comfort zone.

My First Visit........to Dubai

When thinking of Dubai, things like "City in the desert", "Burj Khalifa - the highest man-made structure in the world", "Burj Al Arab - the only 7 star hotel" or "Lamborghini Police car" come to mind. I admit, I though no different. But my first visit to Dubai showed me a different side too, thanks so my staying at the XVA Art Hotel.

Al FAHIDI DISTRICT...

Let me begin with describing the neighbourhood I enjoyed the most: Al Fahidi District. It's the oldest neighbourhood of the city located right at the Dubai Creek. What you'll come across here is peace & quite in an otherwise busy and bustling city. No street noise and no skyscrapers at all. A true oasis in Dubai.

DUBAI DOWNTOWN..

But of course Dubai is all about high buildings and extravagance architecture. A visit to the top of the highest man-made structure in the world, the Burj Khalifa, is an absolute must for every visitor (unless you're afraid of heights). Depending on how much time you have, a visit during the day and night is well worth it. The 360° view is simply breathtaking. And while you're in the area, stroll through Dubai Mall for some extensive shopping. But be sure to calculate at least 3 hours if you intend to also visit the famous Dubai Aquarium.

DUBAI MARINA

As I just had 48 hours in Dubai, I wasn't able to do everything I wanted (which included a visit to the Deira fish market), yet I did get the chance to travel South to the Dubai Marina. Talk about a lot of skyscrapers in one spot. Hold on there Hong Kong! Beach, water and an amazing skyline is all happening down there. Must-do: Take a boat to view the city from a different angle.

Apart from the things mentioned above, I strolled along the Dubai Creek, had some amazing Indian & their local food and enjoyed a relaxed afternoon in the Al Fahidi District.
