After an hour-long ride along Ras al Khaimah’s jagged Hajar Mountains, the highest mountain range in the eastern Arabian peninsula, we had arrived at our destination atop #jebeljais The lot of us were strangers, stemming from four different countries across three continents but had confessed our fears of today’s adventure as if we were long-time friends. . .

After several accidental naps due to sudden bouts of jet lag, working on our final presentation that was to be presented in two days, and the worst traffic jam either one of us had ever experienced, we had finally made it to Dubai from Ras al Khaimah. Well, we had at least made it to the outskirts of Dubai. • We had been warned by one of our hotel’s front desk attendants that traveling by car to Dubai was a hassle-and-a-half, but nothing prepared us for the standstill traffic we were now caught in. Having only moved maybe a foot in a half an hour, I was extremely grateful that our driver had the AC on full-blast. It was almost 6pm and the temperature was still a sweltering 104 degrees, not uncommon for late September. • “Should we just walk?” my classmate asked breaking me out of my impatient gaze, the type only perfected by a New Yorker. • I pulled out my phone and opened up my Maps app, knowing good and well that I was probably ringing up an unnecessarily hefty international phone bill from just a minute’s use. 10.6 kilometers. That was the distance between us and the Burj Khalifa. (Link to full story in bio)

Drop by 395 Broome Street now until 7pm on December 8th for a photo op with the #MJdaisy newsstand. Stumbled upon this adorable setup totally by accident and had to pretend I wasn’t already a huge fan who’s gifting @marcjacobsfragrances to several people this holiday. 🌼✨ • • • • #marcjacobsfragrances #mjdaisy #marcjacobs #nycpopup #nyc #nycliving #soho

From now until November 20th, stop by 435 Broadway at Howard Street and step into the back room of a less-than-helpful “cellphone repair shop” designed by @visiblemobile - the best part? Unlike many NYC pop-ups, this one is entirely free. #InVisibleNY • • • • #nyc #fomofeed #newyorkcity #soho #bbctravel #condenasttraveler #hotlinebling #popup #nycpopup #popupnyc #lifestyleblogger

It was only two months prior to this trip that I had even heard of Ras Al Khaimah, one of the seven emirates of the UAE that is often overshadowed by widely popular emirates like Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Now home to several hotels (three Hilton), Ras Al Khaimah is beginning to become a stand-out UAE destination, thriving especially in the area of adventure sports tourism.

Barely been five days since I’ve been home and what I would give to be back sweating bullets in the Al Wadi Desert. A beautiful place with some beautiful people. • • • • #bbctravel #uae #unitedarabemirates #rasalkhaimah #alwadi #deserts #womenwhotravel #rak #condenasttraveler #wanderlust #travelingram #bucketlistadventures
