Prologue: A Travel Streak


From the sandy warm beaches & magnificent architecture of Dubai and Abu Dhabi; to serene, peaceful, and mesmerizing beauty of Himalayas. It was quite a transition not just in terms of terrain but also in terms of history and culture.


We started our travel streak with Dubai as our first destination; Dubai is a city that hosts a lot of engineering marvels, scintillating tall scrappers, and warm beaches. In my view, the best time to visit Dubai is between November to the first week of April. We landed in Dubai around 17.00 local time on March 3, and the first thing we had on our mind was to prepare for the upcoming action-packed days. As we were slightly exhausted by the time we reached our hotel. We decided to take a short nap before checking the neighborhood out around our hotel and as a result, we found Saravana Bhavan, where we had hearty dinner. Then we stopped at the metro station to buy our RTA cards (Nol card); it is a good idea to have your RTA cards if you are planning to explore the city by yourself instead of a tour package. You can buy these cards at any metro station and can use them to access metro, bus, and tram. Now before, I narrate my travel experience in Dubai. I forgot to tell you about the two unexpected experiences. Firstly, we received two tourist sim cards at immigration which saved us a few bucks which we kept aside to buy the sim cards😉.
Secondly, we met Mustafa, a sales executive of The First Group; he allowed us to learn about the investment opportunity in Dubai by arranging a presentation at their HQ the very next morning. We accepted the offer to view the presentation as not every day you get a chance to learn, ‘how can you own a piece of property in Dubai?’ that too, from the horse’s mouth.
