Travel Diva: Yunika Davis (Dubai, United Arab Emirates)

Featured Travel Diva: Yunika Davis
Featured Travel Diva Destination: Dubai

Yunika Davis, a Maryland primary school teacher, took travel to new heights when invited to Dubai over the summer.  When asked to join a college friend, she originally ignored the invitation.  But after some “sisterly” encouragement and some new found inspiration, Davis had a change of heart and took flight - by herself - thousands of miles across the desert sands.  Read this Q&A about how this travel diva strapped on her trek pumps and took her dreams into her own hands!  

1. Destination: Dubai

2. Reason for Travel: Leisure Vacation

3. Number of Travel Days: Nine (9) Days

4. Estimated Flight Time: 14 hours (Flight Connections: Baltimore (BWI) to Atlanta (ATL) to Dubai (DXB)

5. Featured Hotel: Grosvenor House Dubai

6. First Impression: Hot!  It was 100 degrees every day, but it was simply beautiful!

7. Cultural Experience: Dubai is very multicultural.  There are people from all over the world!  Everything is either communicated in Arabic or English.  Most natives speak English.

8. Favored Attractions: The Arabian Desert tour was phenomenal!  I also enjoyed the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa (the tallest building in the world!)

9. Best Dining Experience: Indego Restaurant (Indian cuisine) (located inside the Grosvenor House Dubai)

10. Best Nightlife Experience: Buddha Bar (food and drinks) and the Atlantis The Palm, Dubai Hotel/Resort (houses a number of clubs/lounges)

11. Would you encourage tourism in Dubai?  Definitely!  The customer service and hospitality was amazing.  Whatever I needed, someone was always there to help.  There is so much to do.  The shopping and the beaches are amazing!

12. What/who encouraged you to travel to Dubai? My sister (Jasmine).  She reminded me that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity.  And, when else would I have a chance to do it again.  

Yunika, thank you for sharing your Dubai experience and for paving the way for more Travel Divas to take flight!

  3. I think that informational articles should be more like yours. By that I mean they should have character. Your article had character and is persuasive. Your views are very interesting.

  4. Brilliant post! Your blog certainly gives me some wonderful tips for first-time travelers to Dubai like me. I recently apply for Dubai Visa and will be getting it pretty soon. Since pandemic restrictions are slowly getting relaxed I & my wife are planning to visit some popular attractions of Dubai like Palm Jumeirah, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Shopping Mall amongst others. We might also take some suggestions from your blog to make our trip even more memorable.
