Winter Break in Dubai
Escaping NYC for the Holidays: My Dubai Adventure
Last year, as the holidays approached, I decided to trade the winter chill and busy streets of NYC for the warmth and glamour of Dubai. The idea of reconnecting with family, indulging in world-class dining, and exploring a city that dazzles during the festive season was too tempting to resist.
The moment I arrived at the Conrad Dubai, I knew this was going to be a special trip. As a Hilton Diamond member, I received a personalized welcome and access to their exclusive executive lounge. Sipping coffee while taking in the breathtaking views of the Dubai skyline from the lounge was a serene way to start each day. The service was impeccable, making me feel both pampered and at home.
My days in Dubai were a delightful blend of family and adventure. I wandered the Gold Souk, dazzled by rows of intricate jewelry, and picked up a few unique pieces as gifts. Spending time with my cousins and uncles over flavorful Middle Eastern dishes reminded me of how food strengthens bonds.
One of the trip’s highlights was a Viator desert safari tour. The thrill of dune bashing, the serenity of a desert sunset, and the immersive Bedouin camp experience made it unforgettable. It was a perfect mix of adventure and cultural exploration.

Dubai offered me the ultimate holiday escape: luxurious comforts, family reunions, and unforgettable experiences. Leaving the warmth of the Conrad Dubai and the vibrant city was hard, but I returned to NYC refreshed and filled with memories of a holiday well spent.
