Although Jordan had been on our bucket list for a while, going there was totally spontaneous decision. We didn’t have much time to plan it and didn’t know what to expect but it turned out to be an absolutely unforgettable vacation. In 4 days, we saw an ancient city, drove through a rocky desert with Bedouins, saw corals and wrecks in the Red Sea, and swam in the saltiest sea in the world 400m below the sea level. Oh,…
In the middle of the Fujairah mountains, we found a beautifully hidden camping spot. It is accessible by a rocky road either from Dibba – Massafi road or you can enjoy a nice drive through farms and villages from E18 (that’s what we did). It’s an easy drive from Dubai that will take you through nice hidden villages. Once you climb around 500 meters above sea level, you’ll find a few interesting camping spots. The one we stayed at is…
Last 3rd day was about watching dolphins and snorkeling. Oman is known for its beautiful nature and it’s meant also a sea nature – dolphins, many kinds of fish, sea turtles, corals etc. So we spend our last day in a paradise by a boat trip with a snorkeling part. Dolphins At first the boat took us 40 mins far from Muscat in order to see dolphins in the nature. I had only seen dolphins in dolphinarium, this was assumed to…

Mutrah So we went out of the hotel and looked around, we were looking for a way up. Mutrah is amazing! People live in small white houses built one by one on each other and there is only a tiny path between…
On Saturday I came back from a weekend trip to Oman – Muscat. I really enjoyed the 3 days off in a different city. We used to travel a lot but when we moved to Dubai, it was all new and there weren’t enough time and money for exploring new countries as we was used to. We have done only 2 short trips to our home city Prague from the time we moved to Dubai. As I said, Muscat is…
I would like to tell you a story about one long journey across UAE. Yesterday, I spent about 6 hours in a car and drove through 5 emirates. It wasn’t pleasant journey but a bit stressful. We had 2 main tasks – to reach Czech embassy in Abu Dhabi to get a new password to Czech data box and visit a booze store in Ras Al Khaimah (RAK). After these two stops we wanted to come back home safely. DUBAI…
