It’s a common misconception that if a destination has incredible architecture, modern high-rise buildings and a flair for luxury, it must only cater to the crème de la crème.
Nothing could be further from the truth for the majority of these misrepresented destinations which actually offer the very best travel experiences to holidaymakers from all walks of life.
This is particularly true for Dubai which not only has the challenge of convincing travellers it is more than just a stopover destination, but that it really is for everyone.
On a mission to demonstrate its affordability, Dubai Tourism teamed up with popular Instagrammer, Liz Carlson, for the #helloworldRELAY. Together they posted eye catching and exciting shots that prove everyone can enjoy the city’s high rise buildings, exotic indigenous culture, golden beaches and vibrant nightlife.
