Must DO in Dubai

Last year (2014)October my friend Evy and I decided to complete one of our "life event" on December,unfortunately the booking was fulled when we checked the booking on October. So we can only delay and plan it on April 2015. Who knows every thing was so unexpected on January 2015 without making any plan. 
One day,I received a message from Evy and asking if I'm having days off on end of the month. What a coincidence and "YES,I'm off on those days." Without thinking too much I opened my laptop and click into 
http://www.skydivedubai.ae/ and make the same slot with my other friends.

# Day 1

My departure on 26th Jan,JED-DXB. 
Dubai I'm coming!!! 
I suppose to meet my friend Evy on the day I arrived but unexpected was her flight got duty change the day before I travel and her layover got extended one more day in Manila. So she arranged her housemate Siew Yen to pick me up at the airport. Siew Yen and Shirley were so friendly and brought me to many interesting and must go places in Dubai.  
Thanks coming for me. Shirley & Siew Yen.  
Behind me is Dubai International Airport,from here I can see many Emirates aircraft parking at the bay. 
We went back home and take a couple hours of rest before our night out.

First stop we went to the most famous landmark in Dubai,Burj Khalifa Tower. It's just right beside of Dubai Mall. Dubai's an incredible Arab country "...so different from Saudi." Multiple cultures and nationalities make me wow wow wow...
The tallest building in the world is so close to me.





Recommended restaurant by Shirley,having our dinner and enjoy the world largest music fountain at the same time.

A huge aquarium ? In a mall? Are you sure? 

The next morning,the day I've been waiting for has come.
# Day 2

Skydiving


 My partner Jo. I need to trust him. 

 Climbing up to 13,000 feet high with others jumpers. 
...and here weeeeee goooooo. 

 Woo~hoo~

 Surprisingly I don't feel scare at all and the feeling is just awesome awesome and awesome! No other word could describe. Best ever.
 View from the top. Yes,its the Palm right in front of my eyes. I see the real Dubai from here. 



Nice landing.hahaha...
Thanks Jo.
Many friends were asking for the price after I posted some of the pictures in my FB and Instagram. The price of the skydive is AED1999 (RM1931.43,according the rate on 6th Feb 2015 ) with video and stills.
The booking is easy,you just need your credit card for deposit of AED999 and the remaining balance will be pay on the day of your jump with local currency ONLY. Click here link to official website

Same day was Selina's birthday,her "fanz" bought her a cake and arranged surprises for her. *envy*

 with birthday girl
 Fate is some thing interesting and I do believe. Beside of Evy was my ex colleague in Air Asia,in this group photo there's another three pretties were my ex colleague too. But we do not really know each other at that time. Unbelievable that after 3 years we all met in Dubai and we created a memorable day in our life.
 Can you see me? 

So,the day end with our perfect jump in the sky. Truly feel blessed. I wish my next sky diving will come soon.

# Day 3 
   Can't wait to see Evy.

Today Evy will come back from flight early in the morning. After she resigned from Air Asia we have not seen each other for more than 2 years. Really miss her. She did not take her rest after flight and brought me out straight. *touch* So nice of you sis.


 Burj Al Arab
The world only's 7 star hotel.  
 I didn't get into the hotel as we were there just for taking some tourist photos. Hahaha... and that day was pretty hot. 
 Hello Jumeirah beach.



 We stay at the beach around 30 min only and took cab to Emirates Mall nearby. In the evening we had pick up to desert safari some where there as well. Ya,I need to mention about the booking of desert safari here,actually I bought it from "Groupon" with only AED 168 for 2 persons. Cheap! Some of my friends who went before told me that they bought the tour at AED150-180 per person. Some hotel and shopping mall do have this service as well,you just need to pay more. 
 Many people said we look alike ^_^ 

 Desert safari here we start. All the agent will gather here and wait for dune-bashing. It was really cool experience. 




        




 

Camel Safari







 I really love the feeling of speeding. 

 Buffet dinner and stage performance
The food was so so but it's fine. 



Traditional skirt dancing 

Next day I'm flying back to Jeddah with Emirates and it's my first time with A380 aircraft.



See You Again Dubai.
