My dream was visiting the United Arab Emirates especially Dubai so on the Black Friday November 2019 while I was living in Paris I booked the flight to Abu Dhabi for February 12th of the 2020, I could go to the Emirates because it was a stop on the way to Australia. Fortunately after on January 10th I get the visa to Australia so I booked the rest of the trip from Dubai so I could visit and stayed 10 days in the Emirates and enjoying the nice weather and discovering this new country.
