Unveiling the Mysteries of the Emirate: Dubai Desert

Dubai is a city that Hong Kong residents are likely familiar with. As a transit hub for Emirates Airlines, many Hong Kong travelers pass through this city en route to Europe. But how many have actually stayed and explored this city? This Easter, my friends and I decided to spend three days and two nights in Dubai, attempting to uncover the mysteries of this Middle Eastern emirate. When in the Middle East, experiencing desert life is a must! Almost every hotel offers various local tours, which can also be booked through travel apps. These tours come in many forms, including half-day, full-day, and even two-day excursions. Activities typically include camel riding, desert 4x4 driving, dune bashing, sandboarding, and desert dinners. Due to time constraints, we opted for a half-day tour, with hotel pick-up and drop-off, heading to the Lahbab Desert near the Oman border. The desert is always sunny, and driving a 4x4 across the vast expanse gives you a sense of having the world at your feet. By dusk, you can enjoy the serene beauty of the setting sun, making it one of the most unforgettable sunsets of your life. Spending Easter in the Middle Eastern desert is truly a dreamlike experience.
