On April 9, 2021: My two friends and I wanted to go on a trip to Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). I told them it would probably cost a lot of money. But instead, my friend told me that he was actually rich. My other friend and I gave him a strange look, but it turns out he actually was. 

We took a trip in his car to the airport (Dubai (DXB) Airport). After that, we boarded the plane and headed to Dubai. I was really excited to see all the islands and skyscrapers. I peeked out the window of the airplane and I saw a huge city with tons of man-made islands! Finally, we landed at the airport in Dubai and we went to the mall. I bought some drinks and snacks a few minutes later.  

We went into the Hotel Burj Al Arab Jumeirah. According to Trips to Discover, “This hotel’s unique design that resembles a sail has become an iconic fixture in Dubai’s luxury hotel scene, considered a must-see in Dubai. Situated on a private island beach, guests here are granted with breathtaking views of the surrounding ocean. One of the world’s only 7-star hotels, a stay at the Burj Al Arab is guaranteed to be luxurious.”  It was huge and I booked a room.  We were going to stay for 2 nights. I woke up and looked out the window at the view of the ocean. It looked amazing!

In conclusion, I think you should visit Dubai because it’s a really unique city as it has man made islands called the Palm Islands in Dubai. If you go, I suggest having a lot of money on hand. Here's a link to some tourist attractions in Dubai https://www.viator.com/Dubai/d828-ttd.
