It all started one sunny afternoon during an impromptu meet-up at their favourite coffee shop. Interesting ideas and random trip plans were tossed around during the conversations as Kalpesh and his friend discussed escaping their routine lives.
“What do you think about an adventure in the midst of skyscrapers and a vibrant city?” Kalpesh asked his friend. That is how they thought of Dubai, the city of dreams, as their next travel destination.
“My wife and daughter will be thrilled with excitement when I will share this news with them. Let’s do it!” Kalpesh expressed.
He was already painting the picture of the illuminated city of Dubai, dune bashing, Burj Khalifa and the world of grandeur.
Both the friends agreed to meet up soon to finalise the details. On a Sunday afternoon, they gathered together and planned out the places and activities they wanted to experience in Dubai. After an extensive search, they came across Thrillophilia’s exciting packages and were amazed to find it perfectly tailored to their preferences, offering great accommodations, easy transfers and commutes.
It felt as if everything was falling into place, like it was all part of a perfect plan. After booking the perfect Dubai and Abu Dhabi package, they were all set to embark on a journey filled with adventures and create unforgettable memories.
Skyscrapers & Serendipity
Dubai is a visionary city and a symbol of the modern world, and Kalpesh and his family were amazed by the towering skyscrapers that reached for the sky. The architecture was equally futuristic and captivating. Their itinerary included all the iconic sights and monuments including the renowned Burj Khalifa, Gold Souk, Spice Souk, Dubai Frame, and The Palm.
Kalpesh’s daughter was in awe of the towering buildings, her eyes opened wide with wonder and she exclaimed, "Papa, look how huge these buildings are! They’re touching the sky!"
Visiting the iconic Burj Khalifa and taking in the stunning views from its observation deck made Kalpesh realise why Dubai is called the "City of Dreams." With the vast desert on one side and the river on the other, it felt like anything was possible. The whole group enjoyed the panoramic views, with the kids eagerly rushing from one end to the other, snapping photos and soaking it all in. Laughter, awe, and quality time with loved ones made the experience truly unforgettable.
Their visit to the Dubai Frame was another highlight, leaving them in awe of its futuristic design. Walking across the glass bridge and watching the mesmerising sunset felt like stepping into a painting.
The excitement continued at The Palm’s View Exhibition, where they were captivated by fascinating facts about the iconic man-made island. It was an experience that truly sparked their curiosity and wonder.
Shopping Spree & Family Time
Dubai is known for its versatility and entertainment, and Kalpesh and his group experienced the most fun-filled time shopping and exploring the shopping streets and malls of Dubai.
As they entered the Dubai Mall they were taken aback by the vibrant and electric feeling of the grand mall. The towering skyscrapers and the massive aquarium in the heart of the mall seemed to pulse with life. The group enjoyed some shopping time, did some fun activities at the mall, and had a great time together.
Their itinerary also included the traditional markets - Gold Souk and Spice Souk. They wandered through the streets admiring the gleaming precious jewellery from shop windows. Kalpesh and his friend bought a gift for their wives and made the moment golden with happiness.
The Spice Souk market was thick with the scent of spices and delicious food, a sensory overload that both delighted and overwhelmed. The market was unlike any other they had ever seen and something was captivating about its bustling crowds, the colours, the smells, and the sounds.
One of the best times for Kalpesh and his group was the evening yacht experience cruising along Dubai Marina. The endless laughter, fun shows, and glittering city around them turned the night into a wholesome and memorable time.
“I could stay here forever,” his wife murmured, her eyes following the streaks of light across the water.
The Adrenaline of Adventures
Being an adrenaline junkie, Kalpesh wanted something far more thrilling, something that made the heart race and Dubai’s Desert Safari was the answer!
The thrill of Dune Bashing was unmatched—roaring through the golden sands, each sharp turn was a surge of pure adrenaline. Another interesting activity on the safari was sandboarding. Everyone tried sandboarding down the soft slopes, the cool evening breeze mixing with the heat of the desert, made every movement feel like a new adventure.
As night fell, they ended their adventure with a live Tanura dance and fire show, watching in awe as the performers spun in dizzying circles and the flames lighting up the night sky.
Their Ferrari World visit was one of the most thrilling experiences for Kalpesh and his friend. The sheer speed of the rides and the laughter between screams still ring in their ears. They hopped on the world’s fastest roller coaster, Formula Rossa, which took everyone’s breath away!
The trip also included a visit to the famous Global Village. They wandered through a maze of international pavilions, each one offering a unique taste of its country’s culture, food, and traditions.
The kids enjoyed the park the most as the place felt like a fantasy land. They also visited the Miracle Garden, from the iconic floral heart to the towering floral structures, it was hard to believe such beauty could exist in the heart of the desert.
Some experiences stay forever imprinted in the hearts and for Kalpesh and his family, Dubai was like a journey of contrasts, blending adventure, luxury, and culture. This Dubai trip left them with a memory that will last with them forever.
