    Taking a day trip to visit the Sheikh Zayed Mosque Taking a day trip to visit the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi is a must do for pretty much every tourist in Dubai and the UAE 🇦🇪 

As a popular free attraction, the amount of people visiting is insane. Unfortunately there is no control on the amount of people allowed in the mosque at the same time, which means you can be unlucky and have an experience like mine and have so many people that your visit won’t be so great. 

I found the mosque to be stunning and so worth the visit, but the crowds made me sad and I couldn’t enjoy the full experience the proper way. 

If you are planning on visiting the mosque in Abu Dhabi, avoid visiting on a Friday & also try to visit in the early morning. Most people visit the mosque on a day trip or organized tours and they tend to be at the mosque in the afternoon, so I believe you’ll have a more pleasant experience in the morning and without the crowds 🥹

    Traveling and exploring new places seems to have b Traveling and exploring new places seems to have brought me back to life. It’s the only time I feel at my happiest, it’s what makes my heart jump of joy and excited to wake up to a new day full of new exciting memories and places to explore🥰

If you have something in your life that makes you feel like this, do more of that! Fill your days with moments that you will look back and feel joy towards them. Life gets complicated and hard and sometimes it doesn’t feel fair, but if you focus your energy into what makes you happy, it makes it all better and worth it ❤️

    BEST SOUKS IN DUBAI ⬇️ 📍Old Souk 📍Gold BEST SOUKS IN DUBAI ⬇️

📍Old Souk 
📍Gold Souk 
📍Secret Indian Souk (🤫 it’s a secret because it’s not on any map and we ended up there by total accident and it was amazing. Don’t know the location because it’s in between the other souks 😅) 
📍Spice Souk 
📍Grand Souk - Deira 

You can’t really go to the Middle East and not experience the thrill of walking the souks. Yes, it’s chaotic, yes they will try to sell you everything, but it’s an amazing experience. Just politely say no and keep walking 😅 

➡️ I also went to another souk in a fancier part of Dubai called ‘Souk Madinat’, which is more touristic and it gave me the feeling it was made for those people who are too scared of the hassle in a typical souk so they can enjoy a more peaceful shopping experience in a Souk. I didn’t put it on the list because I didn’t really enjoy it and it was WAY OVERPRICED! For example a dress than you can find in a local souk for 2€ will cost you 100€ at Souk Madinat 🤷‍♀️

    Visiting the Sheikh Zayed Mosque was the main reas Visiting the Sheikh Zayed Mosque was the main reason why I wanted to take a day trip to Abu Dhabi 

This mosque is for sure the most popular attraction in Abu Dhabi and for good reason. It’s considered to be on the most beautiful and biggest mosques in the entire world. It’s beauty doesn’t disappoint! 

➡️ Sheikh Zayed Mosque is opened for visitors from morning 9:00 till 22:00, except on Fridays that it’s open from 9:00 - 12:00 and then reopens in the afternoon after 16:30 until 22:00. 

Guess which day I happened to choose to travel to Abu Dhabi? Exactly, Friday! 🤣

➡️ I would HIGHLY advise you to NOT visit on a Friday afternoon. I don’t know if I was just unlucky with the day choice, but during the time I visited it was FULL of people and it made the experience a bit chaotic and unpleasant. I still enjoyed the beauty of this place, but really TOO MANY PEOPLE! 

I would advise to try to visit in the morning. Many of the people visiting go to Abu Dhabi on a day trip and on tours, so they tend to visit in the afternoon. Morning visits should be way more pleasant!

    It’s now been almost three weeks since I first l It’s now been almost three weeks since I first landed in Dubai and every single day I feel blessed to be here. 

UAE is my country 30, and it was a long while since I traveled to a new country. 

Life took many turns and my dreams were on stand by so that I could get back up from the ground and put my life back together. 

Being in Dubai for this time and starting my year in a new place has given me hope for all the good things that are still to come, and it has reminded me of what truly makes me happy.

➡️ HOW TO GET TO BLUEWATERS DUBAI:
Bluewaters Dubai is an island connected to the Marina area and JBR beach 🏝️ 
• Get the metro red line to DMCC metro station 🚉 
• From DMCC station I would advise you to walk to Bluewaters, taking in the scenery of the Dubai Marina Walk and the JBR. It’s about 30 minutes walking but so worth it 🥰
• There are boats running between Bluewaters island & Marina Mall for only 5 AED from 4:50pm till 11:25pm. Tickets are bought at the RTA kiosks. 
• Depending on what time you plan on being at Bluewaters I would say walk there and enjoy the Bluewaters pedestrian bridge and the island views. Take the boat to return to the marina 😊

📍 1 week at home in Portugal 🇵🇹 
📍 1 week in the snow ❄️ of Lithuania 🇱🇹 
📍 2 weeks in Dubai, UAE 🇦🇪

    Taking a day trip to Abu Dhabi was on my list of t Taking a day trip to Abu Dhabi was on my list of this to do while in the UAE 🇦🇪 it almost didn’t happen as all I could find were expensive tours that would cost around 100€. But the universe was on my side and my colleagues told me there was a local bus that you can take from Dubai to Abu Dhabi for as little as 5€ 😍

We woke up early, took the 2h full of people bus and hello Abu Dhabi and another item on my list was completed!! 

We visited the Emirates Palace, walked along the Corniche and ended our day visiting the Sheikh Zane’s Grand Mosque 🕌 

I have to say Abu Dhabi was NOT one of my favorite places, but I’m really happy I went to see it with my own eyes 😊
