Let’s talk about Dubai—the city where the desert meets designer, and brunch comes with a side of fireworks. If you’re prepping for a trip to this glittering gem of the UAE, here’s your inside scoop. No stiff travel guides here—just your jet-setting girlfriend giving you the real tea.
What You’re In For:
- Glamour, Glitz, and Gold Everything Yes, sis—the hype is real. Dubai is extra, and we love her for it. From sky-high buildings like the Burj Khalifa to gold-dispensing vending machines (yes, really), this city is a full-blown flex.
- Your Wardrobe Will Be Working Overtime Pack those ‘Gram-worthy fits, but make sure to include some modest options too—think fashion-forward shoulder-covering chic and flowy vibes when hitting mosques.
- The Heat is Not for the Weak Summer in Dubai? Whew. It’s giving sauna. Visit between October and April for weather that won’t melt your edges. And yes, A/C is life.
- Brunch Is Basically a Lifestyle Imagine endless courses, champagne towers, live DJs, and jaw-dropping views. Dubai doesn’t do basic brunches—it’s an experience.
- Everything is Over-the-Top… and We’re Here for It Desert safaris with belly dancers, yacht parties, dinner in the sky—you’re not just traveling, you’re starring in your own music video. Cue the slow-motion hair flips.
A Few Things to Keep It Cute & Classy:
- Yes, it’s safe. Like, very safe. Dubai runs tight, and that means you can enjoy your trip with peace of mind.
- Respect the culture. It’s giving international baddie and culturally aware queen. Dress accordingly at mosques and major landmarks, and remember—we’re guests here.
Your Carry-On Checklist:
- That passport with enough blank pages (you’ll want stamps, trust).
- Light layers and statement sunnies.
- A sense of adventure, honey.
