There are so many cool places to see in Dubai and when you love taking pictures, it is always important to find just the right angle to get perfect shots. So, what do you do when you want a picture that is a bit different? You of course go to the sea!

With Hero Boats Dubai  you can sail around in your own cool and fast boat with full control yourself. In approx. 90 minutes you get to see (and take pictures of) some of the famous attractions in Dubai from a perfect point of view and with no other people in the way of your pictures.

We visited Burj Al Arab, Atlantis, ‘The World’ islands and had a perfect view of the skyscrapers in Downtown.

We chose to have our ride in the morning as the sea is nice and quiet and the light is very good. When we go again, I think we will try catching the beautiful sunset!

It was a super fun experience and one of the best adventures we had so far in Dubai. If you are visiting and looking for a cool adventure, it is definitely worth looking up Hero Boats Dubai, beaHero.

 

With more than 255,000 square miles, the Empty Quarter is the largest expanse of sand in the world, the beautiful dunes and otherworldly salt flats crossing borders into four countries: Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.

Sooo.. this calls for a little adventure, right? RIGHT!

After our Hot Air Ballon flight we drove in these vintage Land Rovers with Platinum Heritage to a beautiful camp in the middle of the desert. Here we had a delicious breakfast with salmon, caviar, delicious fruits and middle eastern dishes. It was so good!

I must say this was the perfect way to end our Hot Air ballon experience and get some power to start a new one…a little safari in the desert, where we could see a bit of the beautiful desert, its vegetation and animals.

Oryxes, lizards and camels were some of the animals we saw and not even the 38 degrees (it was hoot!) could stop us from enjoying this amazing adventure!

We can’t wait to do it again!

 

 

 

 

Time to explore amazing Dubai!

We have been waiting for a long to visit! Now it is finally time to share some of our experiences in the UAE.

What is the best way to start exploring? Going to the desert, of course!

In the UAE, you will find the biggest desert in the world and I can tell that it is quite amazing to visit and discover its beauty. We decided to see the Rub´al Khali desert (translation: Empty Quarter) from two different perspectives: Driving through it and flying over it.

When you want to fly over the desert there is a price to pay: You need to wake up at 3 am! At least if you want to go in a hot air balloon in perfect conditions with a beautiful desert scenery and an amazing view of the sun rising in the distance. We wanted the perfect experience, so we decided to go with the best company in UAE, the Ballooning UAE. They are super professional, experienced and, as a bonus, they are the only Hot Air Balloon flight in the world that is flying with falcons.

You might ask, why fly with falcons?

These birds have played a crucial part in the traditional culture of the United Arab Emirates, their use by Bedouins dates back hundreds of years, which makes the falcon one of the most important animals in the country.

I must say I was absolutely amazed by flying with falcons and seeing the stunning view of the desert, its oases and camels walking in the horizon from a Hot Air balloon. If you are coming to Dubai, this is definitely a must-go experience! If you want to see the desert, why not do it from above in a Hot Air balloon?
