The glitz and glamour of Dubai is always a big attraction for many tourists. As neighbours of Dubai, we get the opportunity to visit this glamorous place once in a while. We do the usual shopping in the huge malls and eat at the endless number of restaurants in Dubai. Even after a few visits, Dubai seems to pull out all the stops when it comes to the wow factor.

First we went to see the vehicle collection of Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan. It is accommodated at the Emirates National Auto Museum, about 45 minutes from Abu Dhabi and even closer to Dubai. We were definitely not disappointed.

The Dubai flower- and butterfly garden were amazing. It was astonishing to see what they have done with all the flowers.  We had an awesome time in Dubai and will be definitely be back for more!
