Visiting the north during February you will have a good chance to experience the northern lights, Aurora Borealis. February is still one of the dark months with very limited daylight. It is most likely to be a cold weekend with sub zero temperatures, bring warm clothes and enjoy life where you wouldn’t think too many people lives. Small city life and arctic experience coming up!

Burj Khalifa and last days in Dubai For my last days in Dubai I want to visit Burj Khalifa and the observation deck there and also see the fountain show outside the Dubai Mall. Now I have had some luxurious days in Dubai and a visit to Deira, old town dubai, will be nice. Good to see how “real life” is and experience the souk.  I have also signed up for a meeting, a open discussion, at Dubai World trade center. Going there will be interesting and I will get the chance to meet new friends. Dubai is a amazing place to visit and there is several of different activities to do, even just for a short weekend stop there. Back to the Dubai Mall for the fountain show Time to go to the top Going up for a visit to the observation deck. The observation deck at night is a great sight. Amazing both day and night Just a normal Dubai tow Going to old Dubai An other world compared to all the exclusive shops DIY Crossing the Deira river River crossing Time for a muffin,my name is not too easy to pronounce outside Norway   Checked meetup.com and […]

Winter sun in Dubai UAE I found cheap tickets with discount for Dubai from Norway with a Norwegian airline flight departing from Oslo, time to travel again and visit Dubai. This will be my second visit to Dubai, there is so much to see and do there. Traveling from cold Norway to Dubai and have a sunny weekend is perfect now that we have winter here in Norway. The temperature is good and Dubai kicks off the new year with a shopping festival. Events and offers all over the city. My weekend starts from my home town, to Oslo where I will board a Norwegian flight to visit Dubai. Before I travel I have searched for things to do and see. On my list I have a visit to Burj Khalifa, shopping at the malls and a driving experience at the Dubai Autodrome. Here is how it my weekend goes in Dubai. Arriving at DXB Number One Tower Suites, enough room for me alone. The Dubai mall, hundreds of shops to visit, ice rink, art, cafes, restaurants, this place you can spend an entire day at. You might find the parking more interesting than the shops Spectacular Night life at Armani/Prive Dubai, located at Burj Khalifa […]
