Whether you’re planning a solo vacation or a family trip during the upcoming holidays in March, this is the perfect time for you to consider where to go! And if you have yet to decide on where to go — we highly recommend that you visit Dubai!

Did you know that Dubai also offers plenty of Instagram-worthy tourist spots? MIX FM DJ Rod Monteiro and his family can attest to this—they recently went on a family vacation to Dubai and not only did they have a blast—they also took plenty of Instagram-worthy pictures. Check them out:
