Dubai From My iPhone

Rewind to Friday 14th July when I made my way to Dubai, a very last minute and impromptu trip. I've been to Dubai once before, which I actually blogged about believe it or not, but it was very early on in my blogging journey so all my content is pretty cringe (I'm not going to link back to old posts but they're all there for your viewing pleasure should you wish to look for them). Here's what I did this year...

I must admit, I haven't felt too inclined to pick up my phone and take snaps throughout this trip as my relationship with Instagram has rapidly declined. As I mostly use my phone for Instagram images, when I'm not thinking about that I rarely pick up my phone with the intention of snapping a photo. With that said, I have a pretty big selection of photos to share with you so I hope you're ready for a seriously photo-heavy post!

We arrived late Friday night and went straight into bed (after unpacking what appeared to be our lives from our suitcase). The Atlantis is beautiful by night and these photos definitely don't do the night skyline any justice but believe me when I say it was mesmerising! So much had changed since 2014; we had a jam packed 9 days in Dubai, we tried to do some new things and re-do some old favourites.

One of the new places we visited was the Green Planet which is quite small but something different. I had seen photos on Instagram and I thought it looked interesting so we decided to head over on our second day. However, I only managed to convince my auntie to go along with me (everybody else favoured the waterpark over this)

Breakfasts were one of my favourite meals! Can you blame me with a spread like this?!

The Atlantis the Palm is known for its huge aquarium housing an array of sea life ranging from tiny fish to larger sharks. Exploring the Lost Chambers of Atlantis was one of my favourite things to do, we went twice - once to look and another to take photos (full blog post soon!)

We also went to the desert this time! The desert was something we didn't do on our first trip but we were all excited about experiencing something new and unlike anything we'd ever done before.
