Dubai, UAE. Day 1

We arrived at 1:00pm, went through one on one customs inspection and were thinking to go see something in the city before 4:00pm. Today is our ATW cruisers third event. Then we went outside and it was so hot that we decided to stay on the ship and rest. At 4:00pm we went to Insignia lounge, got out tickets for transportation to the event and went outside.
On the parking lot of the terminal there were close to 80 Toyota Jeeps to transfer all of us to the event. Each Jeep accommodate four people.
One hour later we arrived at the desert in Al Maha Luxury Resort.

There were pillows to seat placed on rugs, wine, fruits. The sun was going down and the temperature was getting much more comfortable. The sunset was beautiful and we saw a falcon hunting performance.
After sunset we got back in the same cars and short ride later were at the resort. The party was marvelous. The music, performances and food were top notch. All of us had a great time.

There was a little problem with transportation back to the ship. They told us we do not have to go in the same car we came, but choose any car. That created a big mess. Finally, we got in the car and one hour later were back on the ship.Read more
