D-vitamin break in Dubai 🌞

Image
Autumn was quite hard last year in terms of sicknesses, so I really needed to escape somewhere warm. My first taught was Tenerife, but it was actually cheaper to go to Dubai. We actually stayed about 1 hour drive from Dubai in Ras Al Khaimah. It felt like driving to in the middle of nowhere 😁. The area was artificially built and mainly for big hotel chains and tourists. I choose this area first because it was cheaper and secondly there were activities for kids and kids pool. I also wanted the hotel to be by the beach.

Ticket for baby was almost nth compared to that. Hotel with breakfast for 3 weeks was around 2000 euros and we used there for food, trips and some shopping around 1500 euro. So, the total cost for the trip was appro...
