UAE Off The Beaten Path: By Sea, Air + Land
Learn more about how our family uses credit card perks to travel the world in luxury 👉🏼 followabc.com/creditcards
Our family’s catching a flight from our part-time home in the Philippines to the opposite side of Asia, touching down in the city and emirate of Dubai. Even though this is our first time in the United Arab Emirates, we’re bypassing the obvious tourist traps in search of some Arabian adventure that’s more off the beaten path. So we’re about to explore Dubai by sea… by air… and by land. Then we're driving 75 minutes south to Abu Dhabi to experience some of the most magical parts of UAE culture. From sites… and bites… to a journey through the world’s largest sand desert and a night at one of the most awesome hotels on the planet.
