Thoughts on Traveling to Dubai

Dubai is designed to overwhelm, to stupefy, to enrapture in its excessive glory. Massive consumerism isn’t really my scene, so why go to Dubai?

I’m going because a friend is going, but more importantly, because Dubai is so starkly different from everything else I’ve seen and heard about the Gulf, and this makes me curious. I will probably skirt the malls to chill in the souqs, dip into fashion week but stay at the beach longer.

I’m excited, but not for the shopping. More soon!
