Greetings!
Discover more about meI am Kathryn Cruz and I am happy to tell you that I have been working and living in this beautiful city of Dubai for eight years. I love my second home because it is welcoming and diverse which made me learn a lot of things when it comes to dealing and communicating with different people. The city is rich in culture and it is also open to embracing different cultures as well. This city has a lot to offer and I am proud to say that it is one of the top destinations to visit. It never fails to amaze anyone who comes to this magical place. There are so many things to do here and I would love to tour you around whatever and wherever your choice is, Dubai has it. For the people to see what this wonderful place is, I would take you to both worlds. I would love to take you to Old Dubai to see what Dubai looked like years back, I can show you the famous museums and exhibits, the Old Dubai Creek and we can take a boat ride called "Abra," which used to be the mode of transportation for passengers and transfer of goods in the market hundreds of years ago. On the other hand, people will enjoy the development of Dubai from time to time when I take you to the famous landmarks of Dubai Frame, Museum of the Future, the famous Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, Bluewaters Island, and Dubai Marina and see how far Dubai has truly developed over the years. There are also plenty of activities to do here such as Desert Safari where people can enjoy camel riding and dune buggy rides in the desert, Miracle Garden, Global Village, Dubai Parks and Resorts, Aquaventure, and a lot more. Your visit to Dubai would not be complete without tasting authentic Arabic food and desserts. With all those exciting activities and fun adventures here in Dubai, I also love to visit places where I can spend time chilling on a fine afternoon with a cup of coffee or tea. I love going to these hidden gems and taking aesthetic photos in different cafes. There are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops here, it can be a book cafe, art cafe, beach cafe, or garden cafe. Name it, you have a lot of options to choose from. Looking forward to welcoming you!
