Dubai

The first stop on our 39-day cruise was Dubai. We woke up in port and went on deck to see all the sky scrappers reaching to the heavens.
We only had a few hours before our prebooked trip into the desert, so we didn't leave the port.
We drove about an hour before we got to the tour location. We changed vehicles and went for about a 10 minute race around the sand dunes. It was nothing like the videos, but we had fun. Then we were dropped off at the dinner spot. We got a 2 minute camel ride. And Anna got a henna tattoo. Next was dinner and a show. Dinner was fine, and there were three dance shows. Including a fire dancer finale. All the dances were performed by the same dancer. The first two consisted of this guy spinning continuesly for 5-10 minutes. And after he could still walk straight.
We got dropped off at the Dubai mall so we could see the dancing fountain show and the Burj Khalif.
After we took the metro back to the port.Read more
