best place for camping in dubai image
Shazz
I live in Dubai, I am 16 years old, and there is a National Geographic program which takes us to Alaska for 21 days. We will be learning about nature and i thought that would look really good in my personal statement to university next year but 1) The trip is expensive 2) The place is REALLY far away from where I live 3)My parents (mom esp) thinks about safety first. But I REALLY want to go any tips on to convince them? (I still havent told them anything about it yet I want to know how I should approach them first)
Answer
I don't know much about the program, but National Geographic is an extremely prestigious, respected, well-established organization. I really doubt they would put their name on any program that was potentially dangerous. I've done a number of outdoor programs and they all put safety of the participants first. I have no doubt that a National Geographic program would do the same. If this is your parents' main concern, ask the program director for information on their safety record and protocols. This will probably end up reassuring your parents, and also demonstrate how much you want to go.
I don't see why distance is much of an issue. If there is an emergency, it doesn't matter much if you're a couple hundred miles away or a couple thousand. When you're out of immediate reach, you're out of immediate reach. If this is a major issue for them, though, I think you need to give them the line about being a teenager and needing to become more independent, blah blah blah ...
I do wonder how much of an issue expense is. If that is your parents' main concern, then it might be legitimate and it might be harder to talk them into sending you if they feel it isn't financially prudent. The only thing that you can do is offer to contribute, maybe by getting a job if that's an option. You might also be able to enlist relatives to help pay for it; maybe you frame it as an advance birthday gift or something.

Answer
Dubai is a modern place, dont bother going to museum or zoo and stuff.
Spend a whole day in Desert Safari. It is amazing, a Land Cruiser will take to the desert up the hills on a thrilling ride then u can ride a camel or go motorbiking on desert (4wheel bikes) then u will sit on a camp, watch a belly dancer perform, u can also join her :D, and get henna on ur hands and etc and at the end enjoy a fancy dinner buffet.
Next day, go to Atlantis, recently opened, has water park, diving with dophins, aquarium... this is a bit expensive and it depens on ur budget.
So I recommend, for saving money, go to Wild Wadi water park, and u will love it. Next to wild wadi is Jumeirah Beach where U can see Burj-al-Arab, tallest hotel in the world, dont bother going inside(waste of money and time), cause there isnt anything fancy, just take some shots from outside. The hotel is 7 stared and good for staying but has nothing amazing on the lobby to see!! It is just a Lobby!!!
Last day, just go for shopping, I recommend, Mall of the Emirates (u can spend a whole day and also see the ski dubai) or Festival Center. If u shop from Top brands like Cartier, YSL and Saks Fifth so go to Burjman Center. If u dont want shopping, go to Madinat Jumeirah, it is a shopping center but has all the old antique stuff, nice cool place to chill. Many high-classed ppl hang out there and the cafes are a bit more expensive (but worth it ) u can then go for a nice dinner and do Shisha (must do in dubai hehe) and then go to a night club, cause dubai's nightlife is also famous.
But remember, u will be exhausted doing all this, so plan ur trip nicely. Good Luck
