Till now i had traveled a lot, but never been outside of the country.So being outside India was very different experience for me.This tour was to give me many first time experiences as well.
We travelled to Dubai. I had my uncle staying with his family in Dubai. We travelled to Dubai by an aeroplane. I had never been in an aeroplane before. So this was an experience of a life time. In Dubai, our first experience was not different from what we face in Mumbai everyday-long queues. We had to stand in a long queue for immigration checks. In the queue we could see people of various creeds,nationalities and religions. Some were fair while some were dark. Everyone had a different identity. This was very much like in Bombay were we have different people following different relogions speaking different languages coming together. After going through the immigration checks we moved out of the airport. I met my uncleand sisters there. They ferried us to home. On the way i had another experience which was very much like what i have witnessed in Mumbai-traffic. We could see lines of cars in front of us. But the only difference in Dubai and Mumbai was the driving was very much disciplined and thank goodness no honking of loud horns. After succefuly negotiating the traffic we reached home. After having a wash we had dinner. In it i had an arabian delicay-Khapus. Khapus was like a pizza base but only smaller in size and better in taste. After having dinner I retired my tired soul to the bed.
My first morning in Dubai was very pleasent. I finished my morning routines had breakfast and then we started our first sightseeing in Dubai. We were to visit The Mall Of Emirates. It is a very huge magnificent mall. The main point of attraction in it was Ski Dubai. It is a fake snow world reated in the mall. There are various facilities like skiing,snow boarding in it. After roaming around in that area for sometime we moved on to the play area. There we played various games. After enjoying the games we moved on to the food court to saavour the delicacies served in there. We had chinesse food. I savoured some new delicacies like spring rolls etc. But there my staple diet was french fries. just loved the taste and the aroma that lingers in mouth even after sometime. After having the lunch we left the mall of emirates and moved on to our next desti nation.
Our next destination was IKEA mall. It is a very beautifull mall. Here we did some shopping. My uncle gifted me a new cell phone as it was my birthday. Then after roaming around in the mall for sometime we had some tea and moved on to the festival city besides it. The festival city was just besides the marina. I saw many yatches docked in the port. The spic and span yatches presented a brilliant sight. We took some pictures in the area and witnessed a fabulous sunset. The sight of the sun setting behind the yatches was a sight to behold. On the other side of the creek there was huge shipyard. We could see many huge ships being consructed there. After this we moved on to the area were some cultural activities were being carried out. We enjoyed an acrobatic show and then returned to our home.
