UAE Off The Beaten Path: By Sea, Air + Land

Learn more about how our family uses credit card perks to travel the world in luxury 👉🏼 https://followabc.com/creditcards

Our family’s catching a flight from our part-time home in the Philippines to the opposite side of Asia, touching down in the city and emirate of Dubai. Even though this is our first time in the United Arab Emirates, we’re bypassing the obvious tourist traps in search of some Arabian adventure that’s more off the beaten path. So we’re about to explore Dubai by sea… by air… and by land. Then we're driving 75 minutes south to Abu Dhabi to experience some of the most magical parts of UAE culture. From sites… and bites… to a journey through the world’s largest sand desert and a night at one of the most awesome hotels on the planet.

ABOUT US

We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience—up close and in person—all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.
