TripAdvisor EveryTrail Walking Tour . . . The Ultimate - Downtown Dubai
My assignment from TripAdvisor to create five
walking tours of Dubai has been great fun to develop. Doing the research for
the tours has led me to find such interesting facts about my adopted city.
 |
| Burj Khalifa - the tallest building in the world. |
Do you know how many “Ultimates” – the superlatives - there are
in the Downtown Dubai area?
It is amazing . . . but then again in Dubai being the first, the biggest, the best is a much sought after quest!

The Chedi Muscat . . . A Weekend Excursion to Oman
 |
| Chedi Muscat |
“Up for little road trip this weekend?” Roger asks.
I am thinking, why go for just a "little" ride when you can go for a "real" ride and enjoy an entire weekend away?
Responding with a wry grin I offer, “Good Idea. How about a run to
Muscat, Oman? I hear the Chedi Muscat hotel is very nice.”

TripAdvisor EveryTrail Walking Guides . . .Dubai Souqs & Bastakiya
It was easy to come up with the first four – 1) my favorite
place in all of Dubai – The Souqs;
2) a very close second - the historic Bastakiya
area in Burj Dubai; 3) DIFC Art Galleries – something that has
been on my bucket list for some time and so glad I finally went; and 4) The Ultimate Dubai – I was amazed to
find so many world records all in one place – Downtown Dubai.
But, number
5 has been a bit more difficult to identify.

And from Arabian Tales, Dubai walking tours of the souqs and the historic Bastakiya neighborhood. Even if you can't get to Dubai you will enjoy an "arm chair" walk through these exotic locations.
