Christmas in Dubai

13/12/2020

0 Comments

 
After my article Louboutin last week, let's stay in luxury and creativity, I promised you an article on Dubai, here it is, and at Christmas of course!

Change of scenery guaranteed and even more decadent than in my previous articles:
  • Letter to Santa
  • I love December (in London)
  • Christmas in Brisbane
  • Christmas in New York
  • Christmas in Paris

I know you’re already dreaming!

The beach and the skyscrapers probably remind you of Christmas in Brisbane with South Bank Beach in the middle of the city. I love it!

And for those wondering, yes, we wear bikinis at the beach, Dubai is a very cosmopolitan city that is home to many nationalities and cultures.

It’s quite confusing at first, but you quickly get used to the mix and it’s quite fun & inspiring. 

You’ll surely recognise the Burj Al Arab hotel, the highest in the world and 7 Stars please, with among others a heliport and a restaurant at 200m above sea level (Video at the end of the article).

A real aesthetic and technical feat, built on stilts (250 pillars of 1.50m in diameter!) And able to withstand storms and frequent earthquakes in the region.

I couldn't visit it, but it made a perfect background for my selfie!

And yes, my hair was a bit longer at that time, read or reread my article Titanium Heart to know everything about my haircuts ...

In my article Desert, mentioning the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, I said that everything was possible in this city, the proof again here with the different activities that you can find in the gigantic shopping centres out of sand: luxury shops, art, cinemas, aquariums, and even an ice rink and ski slopes, this is Christmas anyway!

No chance to be bored in Dubai ...

And cuz it’s Christmas, window displays and decorations are in the spotlight.
Oh Louboutin, did you read my last article?

However, I strongly advise to wear sneakers to visit these immense galleries, I sprained my ankle walking these endless alleys ...

Of course, we think of luxury and extravagance, I won't lie, I’ve experienced them a lot: caviar buffet, champagne, luxury shopping, restaurants, bars ...

It reminds me my Solo Wedding in Santorini somehow.

I also took the opportunity to wear my jewellery and designer dresses:

Outfit 1 – Dress Anne Fontaine, Bracelet Tiffany & Co, Ring Chanel, Earrings Swarovski, Chanel beauty, Shoes Stuart Weitzman, cigarillos Romeo y Julieta

Outfit 2 – Dress Zimmerman, Earrings Coach, Chanel beauty 

You think I'm exaggerating, so what are you going to think of the air-conditioned bus stops and police driving Ferraris ...

Let's continue in the spectacular with the fountains ballet like in Las Vegas, with the famous Burj Khalifa tower illuminated in the background.

With a height of 828 metres (2,717 ft), 163 floors, it’s the tallest tower in the world since 2009. However, the Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia is expected to overtake it by 2024 by reaching 1000m (3,281 ft).

The Burj Khalifa tower is nonetheless an incredible construction, like many others in Dubai.

And just another building that many have seen before, the 5 Star Atlantis hotel. Huge complex with 1,539 rooms including 2 underwater suites, a water park, an aquarium, 17 restaurants and bars ...

There’s even a skytrain to access it.

The Atlantis was recently (October 2020) the backdrop for the new largest fountain in the world called The Palm Fountain, because located on the Palm Jumeirah island (Video at the end of the article).

Dubai can also be visited by sea, by yacht to blend in perfectly with the scenery, although mine was almost invisible compared to the size of the others ...

Sea Trip Outfit - Dress Hermès, Sunglasses Prada, Belt Salvatore Ferragamo

But by air it's even better, by seaplane please. You know I like flying (read the article In the Air 4).

We then realise the immensity of the work that has been required, and all the construction in progress.

Let’s not forget that it was only in the early 90s that it all started ...

Have fun recognising the buildings and places mentioned above 😉

There’s a photo, however, that must have seemed strange to you ...

And yes, the old town is not so far with its traditional boats still in use, but also the spice market and especially the gold market!

I've never seen anything like it, and yet you know I've travelled a lot in my life.

I also highly recommend visiting The Dubai Museum, it’s absolutely beautiful, housed in the old Al Fahidi Fort.

Rich in number of artefacts from the region but also from around the world, thanks to trade, it also exhibits local life before the oil era.
 
Besides, do you know what was Dubai's main wealth?

They were mainly pearl fishermen; actually Paris was the pearl capital of the world at the end of the 19th century and had strong trade links with the countries of the Persian Gulf.

Dubai is the perfect embodiment of the past and the future, perfect at the end of the year when we reflect on what we have accomplished while setting new goals ...

To keep you busy while waiting for Santa, several videos at the end of the article that highlight what I told you in this article.
 
Don't forget to send me your photos of Christmas decorations, they’ll be published in my next article:

Have great Christmas preparations!!
 
Love & Joy,

    Confucius said nature makes men identical, life makes them different.
    I think that everything happens for a reason and every moment helps to build our personality.  I don't like rules, I follow mine. It is time for me to share my unconventional life and my unusual experience...
