The long haul

With five days with no land Rhondda had little faith in my patience but I have proven her incorrect. Haha. Well so far that is.

First day we got to experience the “ crossing of the equator” which while a good laugh I just feel sorry for the poor bastards trying to get the chocolate, flower and tomato sauce out of their hair.

If you want to get a deck chair in the shade, a priority for us, you have to have claimed a chair by 7am at the latest. This is accomplished when I do my 5am top deck walk allowing us to sit in shade all day.

Keeping up my steps is a challenge but so far so good. As today is Friday we are not drinking until 4pm, keeping in line with our normal Friday nights. A few of the people we have befriended started very early so I guess we will be meeting newer friends this evening. Haha

The food on the ship is okay as long as you stay away from the beef. The drinks are relatively cheap (package) while the coffee is very strong and served in worlds smallest cups. Life is good and Rhondda is getting to catch up on her reading.

Day two and three at sea saw us with light curfews on outside decks

from dusk until dawn with all outside areas locked down and curtains pulled shut. This apparently is a safety measure due to threat of pirates as we sail along the Somalia coast line. Laughed at first until you saw the armed guards patrolling the upper decks. These guys had massive weapons so I guess a lot more serious then we had imagined.

The entertainment has been good with the cruise ship dancers amazing. A Brazilian couple have to be the best we have ever seen. They just seem to fly. Not so keen on the sand drawing lady. Yes a skill but not entertainment worth being on the cruise ship but each to their own.

All in all though this has been a great time out for us both with lots of nanny naps mixed with learning to play Monopoly with cards. Hard to understand at first but once you learn the rules it is a huge laugh with lots of strategies involved. Given I am only person who has won two games straight I am claiming to be world champion. Hahaha so far there are only eight players on board we are aware of.

Finally we landed at Jeddah but we had elected not to leave the ship as getting a visa just simply to hard. The city from the ship looks quite modern but with Ramadan taking place nothing was open from dawn to dusk with most tourist attractions closed. Saved our money big time.

Back on board another day at sea saw us join a lot of Aussies in the Irish bar where an African musician played “pub with no beer” which excited everyone to where the bar quickly became choked with dancing and laughter. One of our fellow travellers, Kylie (youngest at 48 on tour) led the way and this was one of the best nights we have had. Old style pub music with everyone letting their hair down.

The next morning was a different story with massive winds making it impossible for the ship to dock so those who were intending to do the “valley of the kings” tour forced to miss out. This was a 14 hour tour so a lot of unhappy people.

Currently as I write this we are sitting downstairs just chilling out. Hopefully we will post this story in our next port of call.

Michael Stoian's Favorite Experiences for Travelers

Dubai is often associated with luxury shopping, towering skyscrapers, and futuristic architecture, but beneath the glitz and glamour, lies a rich cultural heritage waiting to be explored. From ancient souks and historic neighborhoods to modern cultural hubs, Dubai offers a blend of old and new that allows visitors to experience the heart of the Middle East. Join Michael Stoian as he takes you through the must-see cultural experiences every traveler should have in Dubai.

1. Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood: Stepping Back in Time

For an authentic glimpse into Dubai’s past, the Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood is the perfect starting point. This carefully preserved district, with its narrow alleyways and wind-tower architecture, dates back to the 19th century. Walking through its shaded streets gives you a sense of how Dubai once looked, long before the rise of its iconic skyline. Here, you’ll find art galleries, cafés, and cultural exhibits that tell the story of Dubai’s history and heritage.

Stoian's Tip: Visit the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding (SMCCU) located in Al Fahidi to enjoy traditional Emirati meals and learn more about the UAE’s customs and beliefs through Q&A sessions.

2. Dubai Creek: The Birthplace of the City

One of Dubai’s oldest and most culturally significant areas is Dubai Creek, the lifeblood that once powered the city’s fishing, pearl diving, and trade industries. Today, the creek is still bustling with traditional Abras (wooden boats) ferrying passengers between the Deira and Bur Dubai sides.

Hidden Gem: While crossing the creek on an Abra is a must, a lesser-known experience is visiting the Al Shindagha Museum, which tells the story of Dubai’s transformation from a humble fishing village to a global city. The museum’s Perfume House is a fascinating look into the Arabian art of perfume-making, an important part of the region’s culture.

Stoian's Tip: For a unique experience, take a dhow dinner cruise on Dubai Creek in the evening. These traditional wooden boats offer a serene way to experience the old city while enjoying an Arabian-style dinner under the stars.

3. The Souks: A Shopper’s Cultural Journey

Dubai’s bustling souks are the perfect place to experience the vibrant energy and traditions of Middle Eastern markets. The Gold Souk in Deira is world-famous, with its labyrinth of stalls selling everything from intricate gold jewelry to precious gems. Just nearby, the Spice Souk fills the air with the rich aromas of saffron, cardamom, and dried herbs, giving travelers a taste of Dubai’s trade heritage.

Stoian's Tip: When shopping in the souks, don’t forget to haggle! It’s part of the experience, and you can often secure a better deal by negotiating with the shopkeepers.

4. Jumeirah Mosque: A Glimpse into Emirati Faith

For a deeper understanding of Dubai’s culture and religion, a visit to the Jumeirah Mosque is highly recommended. As one of the few mosques in Dubai open to non-Muslims, Jumeirah Mosque offers guided tours that provide insights into Islamic faith, customs, and architecture. The tours are part of an initiative to promote cultural understanding and are perfect for travelers interested in learning more about local traditions.

Stoian's Tip: Visit the mosque for a guided tour during the morning hours and pair it with a traditional Emirati breakfast offered as part of the tour. Dress modestly to respect local customs.

5. Global Village: A Celebration of Cultures

For a truly global cultural experience, head to Global Village. This open-air destination brings together pavilions representing more than 75 countries, each showcasing their culture through food, performances, and crafts. From Turkish kebabs to Indian spices, and African hand-carved sculptures to Chinese acrobatics, Global Village is a melting pot of traditions from around the world.

Stoian's Tip: Global Village is best visited in the evening, when the colorful pavilions come alive with music, performances, and street food from every corner of the globe.

6. Alserkal Avenue: Dubai’s Contemporary Art Hub

Dubai’s cultural scene is not limited to its historic sites. For those interested in modern art and contemporary culture, Alserkal Avenue is the place to be. Located in the Al Quoz industrial area, Alserkal Avenue is home to art galleries, design studios, and creative spaces that showcase the work of local and international artists.

This creative hub has become the epicenter of Dubai’s arts scene, offering everything from exhibitions and film screenings to workshops and talks. It’s a great place to see the evolving cultural identity of Dubai and the region as a whole.

Stoian's Tip: Visit during one of Alserkal’s Art Nights for a chance to explore multiple galleries, attend live performances, and mingle with the local art community.

7. Dubai Opera: A World-Class Cultural Experience

For a dose of high culture, Dubai Opera is a must. This architectural masterpiece, designed to resemble a traditional dhow, hosts an array of performances, from opera and ballet to concerts and theater. Dubai Opera has become the city’s premier destination for cultural events, drawing international performers and local talent alike.

Stoian's Tip: Check the event schedule in advance, as Dubai Opera offers a wide range of performances. If you’re a fan of classical music or theater, book a show and experience the grandeur of this world-class venue.

Conclusion: Discover Dubai’s Rich Cultural Tapestry

While Dubai is often recognized for its futuristic skyline and luxurious lifestyle, its cultural roots run deep. From the winding streets of Al Fahidi and the bustling souks of Deira to the creative spaces of Alserkal Avenue and the grandeur of Dubai Opera, the city offers a fascinating blend of old and new. Through these cultural experiences, travelers can gain a deeper understanding of Dubai’s heritage, its traditions, and the diverse influences that make it such a unique destination.

As someone who loves both exploring new cultures and connecting with the past, I find Dubai’s rich cultural offerings to be truly inspiring. Let this guide be your roadmap to discovering a side of Dubai that is often overlooked but offers incredible depth and history
