Only wonderful memories of Dubai for this Malaysian family

Travelling has always been a way for my family to spend more time together but when the Covid-19 pandemic hit, we were stripped of that luxury. So you can imagine how elated we were when we finally managed to go on a family holiday recently, this time to the United Arab Emirates.

Our first city was Dubai, which had always been on the top of my bucket list. I just love all the beautiful architecture there and how everything looks so luxurious. Even during the car ride from the airport to our hotel, I was already so amazed by the gorgeous city. With flickering lights everywhere, it looked like the skyscrapers were the night sky, dotted with twinkling stars.
