Our journey commenced with a visit to the Emaar Sky Deck because observing the Burj Khalifa from ground level seemed too conventional, and Dubai shies away from clichés. The entire skyline resembled a breathtaking painting. The Edge Walk provided a thrilling yet enjoyable experience. A lift equipped with only two buttons-ground floor and 52nd floor - marked the beginning of our Dubai adventure on an adrenaline note.

Mesmerized by the fountain show and the dazzling Burj Khalifa, we proceeded to indulge in an exceptional dinner at the Michelin-starred restaurant, 11 Woodfire, while also catching sight of some fascinating cars parked around.
Next morning started early as we headed towards Hatta, a city with its own unique beauty. A two-hour drive brought us to the Hatta region, where we had the opportunity to witness the bees and their hives firsthand and indulge in some Kayaking with a view of scenic mountains.
