  2. I am surprised how you have done this. Can't imagine how you can pack these lot of things & carry them throughout your journey. Last week, I also had a trip to Dubai. I had a lot of things to carry. I eventually search on Google for the backpack so that I can carry all the items which are necessary during my journey. I found a leather backpack which was quite enough for me. I also recommend you this backpack which might be helpful throughout the tour. Hope you had a cool adventure. Thanks
