I have been a Dubai resident for almost 10 years and even though I left the corporate world a while ago and lately I am more focused on my learning and development programs & social media content creation, my core is events. I planned and executed all type of events in 8 countries for the last 20 years and I never stopped.
After leaving Germany in 2015, nowadays I am blessed to live in one of the most amazing cities in the world and since I have such a wonderful Romanian community on TikTok I designed together with Daniela a program where we have the chance to connect, engage, visit some beautiful Dubai spots, indulge with great arabic cuisine, do a little bit of networking and essentially have a fabulous unforgettable time. Together.
Daniela, my business partner, has been living in Dubai for the past 13 years and is a passionate traveler with 9 years of experience in the aviation industry. In 2019, she transitioned into the personal development and wellbeing space, focusing on coaching in lifestyle, nutrition, and self-development. Today, she runs her own company, delivering training programs across the Middle East, helping organizations empower their employees through leadership development, soft skills, professional growth, and wellbeing workshops.
Even though we call DUBAI home for a long time, we are still connected to our country – Romania. And we would love to offer you this experience.
Because this is what we are all looking for – wonderful experiences to create long lasting memories.
We are not a travel agency but we are well versed in organizing events and we would like to give to our Romanians a taste of the authenticy of the Arabic culture while having a lot of fun – something that a travel company will not do as their approach is more commercial and standard.

Responsibility of losing your personal belongings
Please bring euros/dollars and do not change in the airport. There is an Al Ansari Exchange a few minutes away from the hotel and they offer better rates

Dubai it’s a very friendly place with common sense rules for everyone
I do not recommend buying souvenirs from The Walk, Madinat Jumeirah or any other tourist locations. They are triple the price. I can take you to cheaper places.
Don’t forget your sunglasses, swimwear, sunscreen and bring a hat as well.
There are a few supermarkets close to the hotel. I will include them in the orientation map I will provide.
