Exploring Abu Dhabi

Starting the new year in Abu Dhabi was the best idea ever! My husband and I spent part of our honeymoon in Dubai and were blown away by the beautiful beaches, rich culture, and yes, opulence. So we were beyond excited to take Arabella back with us to the United Arab Emirates. She couldn’t wait to step into “the actual desert!”. The weather was sunny and warm in December so our desert safari that included dune bashing and sand boarding was comfortable. With our 6 year old daughter in the car and safety in mind, our dune bashing experience was still a blast. Laughing and screaming, racing across the sand was crazy fun! We also spent time meeting some friendly camels.

We made sure to visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the largest mosque in the country. It was such a beautiful experience for my family to experience the power of prayer in such a sacred space.

So grateful for this adventure and the memories!
