I love putting the spotlight on travel destinations around the world, and today is somewhere I would LOVE to travel with my family, and its Dubai.
Dubai is such a cosmopolitan city filled with things to discover. It’s an emirate in the United Arab Emirates, with a widely diverse population of people from many different backgrounds. It has so much to offer a family as a travel destination, with amazing must do restaurants, entertainment, rich heritage and culture and a vibrant nightlife. If like me, when you visit a new place, you get itchy feet and want to explore and learn more, then this would be perfect destination. Of course you can visit all of the popular tourist destinations, but it also has hidden jewels that are less well-known. With spas, deserts, beaches and shops whether you are wanting an adrenaline filled holiday or complete relaxation or something in-between the two, it has it all!
I’m very excited to announce that Dubai Tourism is taking over London Waterloo Station from 4 –11 September 2016.
So if you would like to see more of what Dubai has to offer, then come down and get involved at the exciting and interactive #DubaiTomorrow installation at Waterloo Station. Remember its going to be there from the 4-11th of September, with experts to help and answer any questions you may have. Experience Dubai in virtual reality.
There will be a special Family Day on 4 September, so make sure you come along and most of the last days of the summer holiday. I will be heading down to Waterloo myself on the 6th and I can’t wait to share with you what I experience.
Visitors of #DubaiTomorrow will also have a chance to win on-the-spot prizes, to win a trip to Dubai every day!
If you can’t make it, then please join in on the Twitter Party that will take place on the 6th, where myself and the other Ambassadors will be live tweeting. Make sure you follow the hastag #DubaiTomorrow and myself @AmandaCotting on twitter, for more live updates on the day.
