Our visit to Global Village was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip. It was incredible to experience so many cultures in a single location. While all the Main Stage performances were spectacular, the concert conducted by Naoufal Ben Mehrez was truly breathtaking. For my wife, it was deeply personal; since her parents were born in Morocco, the authenticity of the Moroccan pavilion felt just like home. ...As the holy month approaches, we also want to send our warmest wishes for a Ramadan Kareem to all the wonderful people we met.

Visiting the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo was an enchanting experience! The stunning array of marine life captivated my senses—gliding sharks, vibrant fish, and playful rays swirled in a mesmerizing dance. The highlight was the Penguin Cove, where these adorable creatures waddle and splash joyfully, bringing smiles with every delightful moment. Walking through the immersive tunnels felt like diving into a magical underwater realm, making it an unforgettable adventure in a lavish aquatic paradise!
