In case you needed a reminder that you live in one of the greatest cities in the world, Dubai has just been voted to have the world’s best tourism experience.
A favourite among new residents and visitors, the camel riding and desert BBQ experience has come out top in the Tripadvisor’s 2020 Travellers’ Choice Awards.
OceanAir’s premium red dunes and camel safari with BBQ at Al Khayma Camp beat four other contenders to the top spot. The winner was determined by reviewing millions of ratings from travellers around the world over the last 12 months.
According to Dubai Tourism’s Annual Visitor Report 2019, 41 per cent of international travellers had Dubai safari as part of their itinerary, and the proof is in the pudding. From thrilling dune bashing, a close encounter with camels, traditional Bedouin dining under the stars and mesmerising natural beauty, even we had a whole new appreciation for the golden sands that surround us.
The second best travel experience in the world went to pizza and gelato cooking class in a Tuscan farmhouse in Florence, Italy. It was then followed by a luxury small-group canal cruise in an open-air boat in Amsterdam, with Discover Berlin’s half-day walking tour and a Northern Ireland highlights day trip including Giant’s Causeway from Dublin, Ireland rounding off the edit.
