DESERT SAFARI

Another one of my adventures in Dubai was the Desert Safari, which was so-so in the whole trip. Firstly, we reached near the desert, and waited for it to start. In the free time, I didn't do quad-biking, but I have done it before and mark my words, it was marvellous swashbuckling in the quad bike over the dunes and sand spraying everywhere. It wasn't rocket science to operate the small vehicle, and it was really fun, as we zoomed about rapidly leaving a trail of dust clouds. Anyways, we hopped into a Land Cruiser, a powerful SUV, fit for the rough terrains of the desert. We did dune-bashing, as we rid and jumped from high and bumpy dunes. We had to hold on tight, as it jumped, and went down steep dunes, and that was really enjoyable. Just up and down swiftly, jumping ,landing made it a great endeavour. We also posed for photographs, and took a view of the whole city on a tall dune, and it wasn't easy to climb the dunes, as your feet kept on getting stuck. Dune-Bashing was a thumbs-up. But after that, we took a journey to another camp and on the journey, we spotted things which don't normally exist in the urbanisation these days. In the empty and spacious desert, we glanced at prickly cactuses, puzzling mirages, and tiny oasis, a remote mud home. In the camp, the weather changed from the scorching sun  to a bit chilly wind. There we saw some dances and performances which weren't as dazzling as the website described them to be. and it was just a long bore after that, as the food was scarce and atrocious, and we had to stand in enormous lines. The dune-bashing was brilliant but after that it was a drab. So I give it 2.5 out of 5, and wish to see some enthralling acts, to make the voyage better.

THE INTERGALACTIC STAR WARS

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away........Star Wars was a brilliant Christmas present. If you're one of the few people in the world who hasn't seen it till date-
Firstly, reassess your life
Secondly, grab a newspaper and run to the nearest theatre and time. Forget your meeting or work, just watch it.
The interplanetary battle came to life as I watched it in 4D in Dubai, and the effects were staggering, just like the movie. The plot is an edge-of-the-seat thriller, with attacks and warfare all over the story. It is the ultimate clash between The Resistance and The First Order, both on a mission to triumph in getting ahold of Luke Skywalker, who has gone into exile. The lightsabers, spaceships firing all this just left my eyes superglued to the screen. Robots and droids, all with unique characteristics. You wouldn't not like it, not such a great movie, arguably the best movie of 2015. In my opinion, the creator of Star Wars should receive a nobel prize. With disastrous weapons and slick spaceships with a brilliant range of characters, I give this mind-blowing movie 4.5 out of 5 stars. Who will claim victory, the evil First Order, or the heroic Resistance, Find out in this stupendous movie:STAR WARS:THE FORCE AWAKENS
