I first went to Dubai about 12 years ago before it turned into the land of drug dealers, Instagram models and Essex Chavs (no offence to anyone from Essex I know not everyone who lives there is the same) and it was absolutely magical one of my favourite holiday memories. Went back 2 years ago and it was horrific I couldn’t wait to leave, totally ruined my perception of it. Same goes for Mykonos, went for the first time 6 years ago and went back for 3 summers but after the last time I probably wouldn’t go back again. Still onboard with Ibiza though, there’s more of an escape there.
I blame Instagram. It’s made places become over run with the kind of people you don’t want around you
