EssG Posted July 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Hubby and I have just booked this 11 day cruise from Dubai .... Hubby would love to book a fishing trip in one of the ports (Fishing in the Arabia Sea is apparently amazing) but all the charters are priced for 3 or more, so if there is any one here also booked on that cruise and wanting to talk about booking a joined fishing charter, please let me know.

CruisingFox27 Posted July 11, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 11, 2018 The miracle garden is beautiful, it was open when we visited in March. We did high tea at the Burj Kalif, highly recommend it. We did a dune jeep tour in Qatar which was excellent, although not for the faint hearted! It's a stunning region and we thoroughly enjoyed it .

CruisingFox27 Posted July 12, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 12, 2018 We did the desert safari and beach day, it's quite an adventure of the dunes. The on-board currency was Euros. We had UAD as we were staying in Dubai post cruise but never used any currency other than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted July 12, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hi Ess .... In Muscat 6 of us hired a taxi van for about six hours, the guy we hired was great and took us to a lot of places including a beach, the palace and the Souk. In Dubai we went to the Gold market, the Dubai Mall and hired a boat between four of us for a couple of hours sailing up and down the river.

Do you have contact details Dave, or did you just pick taxi's up at the port? We have a total of 3 days onboard (4th day is disembarking) in Dubai so will be trying to do something different each day. Great to have some places to research.

sidari Posted July 13, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hi Ess ... At Oman we just asked the drivers outside the port gate and found one who was happy with what we wanted to pay, in Dubai we took a Taxi tour again for six of us for a few hours and got dropped off at the Gold Souk, later four of us went to the Dubai Mall by taxi. What are your ports ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubai (first two days) Abu Dhab, Sir Ben Yas Is, Khasab, Muscat, Bahrain, Doha and then two days back in port in Dubai again Dave...would love to know what, from your experience is a fair amount to pay for for the trips so we know what to offer.

sidari Posted July 14, 2018 #13 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Hi Ess ... I cannot recall how much we paid pp to be honest, fairly sure it was not a high price with there being quite a few of us, only been to two of your stops which are Dubai and Oman as we had sailed from Venice to Dubai, our other stops in Oman prior to Muscat were called Salalah and Kor Al Fakkan.

I am a tad confused re where high tea is held. Information I found has the tea happening at: HIGH TEA AT SAHN EDDAR Location: First floor, Burj Al Arab Jumeirah and another at what I think is a bar on 27th floor, Burj Al Arab Jumeirah Please share a little information on your experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
