We have arrived at our Hotel Five Jumeirah – In one word WOW!
This is a hotel that has nothing to do with any hotel that I have ever seen in Dubai, or even anywhere else in the world for that matter.
Max has chosen a modern hotel for sure, since the FIVE Jumeirah Village is indeed a dare-to-be different hotel that captures the glamour of the new Dubai. They want you to experience a chic penthouse lifestyle with its 269 pools and Jacuzzis, it’s vast lush green terraces and an apparently culinary and party scene like no other. Our room is 235 square meter…Help!
Anyway, an award winning chic hotel in a 60-storey tower offering eclectic street food dining, plus a spa & an outdoor pool is the perfect balance between an exotic holiday and a Christmas extravagance to enjoy as a family. I have been to Dubai a few times now, but never during the Christmas holidays, so yes – I’m curious and excited.
For Dubai being an Arabic country, they decorate for Christmas with a true holiday spirit. The hotels are decked out with Christmas trees, classic Christmas decor, and everywhere they are holding special holiday lunches, brunches and dinners, even Christmas carols everywhere!
Are we ready to explore the glitz and glam, but also discover the ancient traditions of this multifaceted city?
The saying goes that Dubai doesn’t just live up to its reputation; but that it will completely exceed your expectations.
Yes, we are ready 👍
