Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) – Day 1
First full day in Riyadh! We would have never imagined saying that before 2019, and now we’re here! Let’s see what we can get up to! So, first thing is first. Let’s explore what’s close to us and try to find where the busses run. The map for the busses that we found online is…

Travel Day
Well… we’re leaving Abu Dhabi! We bought our ticket last night and headed to the airport on the airport express in the late morning. It is a long drive, so make sure to leave with plenty of time to make it! So we didn’t put a location in our title today because we won’t spend…

Abu Dhabi – Day 7
Another relaxing day in Abu Dhabi. We’re sure we will get back to our usual packed days soon, but this is it for now! We just walked towards the beach and sat in this chair and read. What a way to pass the day, right? We can imagine that this is what most people think…

Abu Dhabi – Day 6
Another day, another lack of energy. Let’s stick to Abu Dhabi then. We know what’s here, what we can do and see, and where to go for a relaxing day. Probably best. At least today it’s not pouring, so we can leave and enjoy the weather outside more than we got to yesterday. But, this…

Abu Dhabi – Day 5
So… we were going to leave today… but we had some complications… My partner is still extremely tired, so travel is probably not the best idea. But that isn’t our only hurdle… My partner had wanted to take the bus to our next country, but that was going to be a very long bus ride,…

Abu Dhabi – Day 4
Well… here we go again. Another day out exploring Abu Dhabi. Today we have quite a few things planned.. so better get going! We go catch another bus, and in no time we’re at Qasr Al Watan, the presidential palace of the Emirates. This is a working palace, which means that no one lives there,…

Abu Dhabi – Day 3
So, what should we do today? Well… we’ve seen the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque at night… what about during the day? Let’s go! So we went downstairs to the street, grabbed the number 94 bus, and we were on our way. About an hour later we’re here again! The only difference is that today the…

Abu Dhabi – Day 2
Today we will start our day in a way you may not necessarily expect. You know where we are in the world from the title, and you may be familiar with this museum… so the two won’t match up, maybe. But believe us when we tell you that we are going to the Louvre today. …

Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) – Day 1
Today we decided to start our day like we ended yesterday’s, with a walk along the Corniche. Seeing the exact same things. Interestingly, the fountain isn’t working. Why? Just kept walking and we start to see one beautiful thing after another along the Corniche area. Another water monument and some more beautiful underpasses. And then…

Dubai – Day 4
Today we leave Dubai. But first, let’s go take a look around “our neighbourhood”. We will go back to what we saw last night, walk around a bit, and then leave. We checked online and we can leave whenever we want because there isn’t any restrictive schedule. Let’s cross our fingers that that’s true! So…
