British Airways
Shopping Spree To The Most Favourite Destination Dammam Via British Airways!
After a certain age, we forget hanging out with friends as we get drenched in family and other work responsibilities. Fortunately, I got an idea and thought of a reunion with my college friends in a unique manner. I planned a foreign trip with my friends to a Saudi Arabian city called Dammam. All five of us had completed our education together but we did not get time to meet after that.
After getting jobs, all of us have spread out in various cities of India. I fixed Delhi as a meeting point from where we had our much awaited flight to Abu Dhabi. Well, there were no direct flights to Dammam so we planned our flying destination as Abu Dhabi, from where we could arrange ourselves easily to Dammam.
All of us were pretty excited to meet after a long time. We discussed about the airline, hotel and other activities of the trip through chats and calls, and came down to a conclusion of taking British Airways flight to Abu Dhabi from Delhi.
Details of our flights- a right decision made!
The flight to Abu Dhabi was a one stop flight with a layover at London. It was BA 142 from Delhi to Heathrow and BA 73 from Heathrow to Abu Dhabi. We had UK visa so there was no kind of issue at London. The fare was optimal as well, as we were allowed a check in baggage of 23 kg which was favourable too. Well, this is the reason we chose British Airways.
Although it was a long flight, we were pretty comfortable, thanks to the relaxing and warm hospitality shown by the staff of the airline. We enjoyed the music, comfy seats, and of course the best cuisine served. After reaching Abu Dhabi, we took another flight to our final destination Dammam. Transporting from one place to another fills my heart with excitement always, that is the reason I love travelling.
Memorable stay at one of the popular Dammam hotels
The moment we found Gulf Park Hotel on the travel portals, we were keen on booking our rooms here. It is at a walking distance to the malls we chose for our shopping and hangouts. It is a 3 star hotel but offered services that were truly impeccable. We booked a two bedroom apartment so that all five of us could stay together and have a blast during our trip. What we were offered were-
Air conditioned apartment with a mini bar
A swimming pool
Delicious Saudi cuisine at the hotel
Arranged transport, and many more.
Shopping time at the top Dammam Malls
How can girls resist shopping? So, we were at the two best malls of the city:
1. Othaim Mall Dammam: It has been rated 4 out of 5 stars. It is a huge family mall which is a perfect spot for anyone to hang around. There are many international brands here, along with a lot of entertainment options for the kids and youngsters. We had a fun filled time!
2. Marina Mall Dammam: It is one of the biggest malls, and a spot where a lot of events are organised. There are shopping stores, dining places, entertainment options and anything you name. Awesome experience overall!
Well, to sum up, I shall never forget my trip, and credit goes to the airlines as well for giving us a great start!
