2018 NYE was skydiving in Dubai. Coupled with a desert safari, lights show at the Burj, and walking around theme parks. Food wasn’t exactly on the 3 day 2 night trip agenda. I did not expect Marriott’s Lapita Resorts to have a lavish breakfast spread (like Marriotts in India), so I was pleasantly surprised that they did. The whole 9-yards of Marriott breakfast buffet spreads. The standout was their middle-eastern bread. Being Dubai and all.

A lot of labneh to make the said zatar bread better:
We ended up getting ourselves a table full of fresh, good tasting global cuisines:
- Cereal
- Indian rice, bread, and beans
- Waffles with Nuttela
- Continental breads
- Pineapple fried rice
Oh and, other things done while in Dubai included:
- A desert safari which included an edible dinner in the desert
- Jumping off a plane from 13,000 ft
- Legoland Dubai (Free entry to theme parks courtesy Lapita)
- Lights show at Burj Khalifa to ring in 2018
