19th February 1792 saw the birth on Shetland of Arthur Anderson.
Anderson was a businessman and Liberal Member of Parliament for Orkney and Shetland. He was the first Shetland-born man to represent the Isles.
Born in the Böd of Gremista at Lerwick, the son of a fish curer who had come from Unst, Anderson joined the Royal Navy at the age of 16, and fought in the Napoleonic wars. Moving to London he was co-founder of the Peninsular Steam Navigation Company which became the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. He tried to persuade the British government of the value of building a canal linking the Mediterranean and the Red Sea but failed, and it was not until a year after his death than the French built the Suez Canal. Anderson introduced the concept of cruising for pleasure, rather than simply a means of transportation.
Arthur Anderson also formed the Union Steam Ship Company to supply coal to his P&O ships. This later became the core of the great Union-Castle line.
His various philanthropic gifts included endowing the Anderson Educational Institute (now Anderson High School) in Lerwick which opened in 1862.
His company was broken up during mergers and takeover, with P&O Cruises having merged with the Carnival Corporation in 2002, the P&O Nedlloyd container business sold in 2004 and P&O Ferries owned by Dubai World since 2005.

12 Free Things to Do in Dubai
You might believe it will be challenging to travel to Dubai on a budget because it is recognized as a center of modern design, grandeur, and luxury in general—but you can think wrong! There is good news for vacationers on a tight budget: there is a tonne of free activities and attractions in Dubai. Here are 12 of the finest free things to do in Dubai, whether you want to take in the gleaming modern skyscrapers, learn about the emirate's history and culture, or simply walk outside and enjoy nature. One can get emirates visa for Egypt citizens to simply enjoy the things.
1. Visit the Coffee Museum in Dubai
Fans of coffee, raise your hands! The Dubai Coffee Museum is a fascinating location to learn about everything related to coffee, including its history, various foreign methods and flavors, books and videos to investigate, and even ancient coffee pots and other coffee-making equipment. Additionally, the baristas here are knowledgeable about the brews, so feel free to ask them any questions you may have about beans or brewing; if you're interested, they'll be happy to share their knowledge with you.
2. Ride an abra
Although it's not exactly free, for only $0.30 USD, it might as well be! We're happy that riding an abra is a reasonably priced activity for most people because it's a must-do in Dubai. Get a taste of history by using this, Dubai's customary ferry system, to traverse Dubai Creek (and a convenient form of transportation). To go to the Dubai Old Souk station or the Bur Dubai station, cross the creek at either the Deira Old Souk abra station or the Al Sabkha station. Apply emirates visa for Egypt nationals to get a ride on Abra.
3. Wander through the Al Fahidi historic district
Are you prepared to learn more about Dubai's past and present? Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the Al Fahidi Historic District. The Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood has a lot to offer, and most of it is free to view, including historic buildings, tea houses, museums, art exhibits, markets, and more.
4. Or flash-forward to the modern era at Alserkal Avenue
More hipster information than historical? Not to worry. Locals congregate on Dubai's obscure Alserkal Avenue, where there are constant events going on and much of it is free to explore. The area is home to art galleries, pop-up stores, cafes and coffee shops, event centers, and more. Experience modern-day Dubai life while spending the day at Alserkal Avenue.
5. Take a day to explore The Dubai Mall
If you can resist the over 1,200 stores placed inside this huge mall, then yes, this is completely free. One of the largest shopping centers in the world, the Dubai Mall features a wide variety of stores and eateries as well as an aquarium, a movie theatre, an ice skating rink, a virtual reality park, and more. There not being enough shopping for you? Even if you just want to window shop, the Mall of the Emirates boasts a tonne of entertainment options and retail stores.
6. Visit an authentic souk
Of course, you can also have a genuine Dubai shopping experience at a neighborhood souk if a mall isn't quite your thing. Our favorite souks are the Spice Souk and the Gold Souk. Even if you decide not to make a purchase, a stroll around these traditional markets while window shopping is the ideal opportunity to fully experience Dubai's sights, sounds, and fragrances.
7. Take a free tour of the Bur Dubai Grand Mosque
Are you curious to know more about Dubai's culture? The Grand Mosque, one of Dubai's most recognizable houses of worship, is a good place to start. The tour, which is entirely free, includes a tour of the mosque, a prayer demonstration, an explanation of Islamic principles, refreshments, and more. If you're interested in Islam or Dubai's culture, you should also visit the Jumeirah Mosque. For further details, visit their website, and be sure to dress modestly.
8. Go hiking at Hatta
One of Dubai's most well-known attractions is Hatta, and it's the ideal location to visit when you need a vacation from the city. Take a bike ride, take in the scenery, go trekking in the foothills of the Rockies, or do something else. Of course, exploring is free, but if you have extra cash, there are adventurous activities like paragliding, horseback riding, and kayaking available.
9. Get a tan
Take your pick from the deserts or the beaches in Dubai; it's simple to accomplish this. Add Kite Beach Dubai and The Beach opposite JBR to your list if you're prepared for a day at the beach (those are our favorites). You have a tonne of options if you're going to the desert: spend money on an overnight desert safari or camp for nothing at Al Qudra. Even though it's only a fast 30-minute drive from the city, you'll feel like you're in the middle of nowhere with the opportunity to explore both lakes and sand dunes.
10. Bask in Dubai’s stunning architecture
Of course, you may experience Dubai on a budget without leaving the city. Among the top free activities in Dubai? Take a tour of the area to see some of the city's most beautiful buildings and skyscrapers. A must-see is the Burj Khalifa, the highest structure in the entire world, the Burj Al Arab, and the Cayan Tower.
11. Soak in the sunset at the Dubai Marina
Want some instantly captivating views? You only need to consider the Dubai Marina. There are plenty of activities available if you want to spend the afternoon or just go for a fast run around the 5.3-mile boardwalk loop that is surrounded by stores, accommodations, and restaurants. Visit at sunset for the greatest sights, expert advice advised.
12. Watch the flamingos at the Ras Al Khor wildlife sanctuary
Animal lover? The flamingos steal the show at this nature refuge, which is conveniently located close to the city and is home to thousands of birds, fish, and other animals. Come for some photos for Instagram and stay to discover more about the amazing creatures and distinctive habitats they call home. You can get emirates visa for Egypt passport holders and enjoy in Dubai.

THE WALK TO 2023 from Beno Saradzic on Vimeo.
for someone like me, nothing compares to the thrill of making a time-lapse video. It is genuinely magical and a trick that never fails to impress is the ability to condense hours or even days of action into a few brief seconds. I got the chance to capture a time-lapse video on New Year's Eve from the balcony of a private flat at the Jumeirah Beach Residence in Dubai. The location was ideal, offering a breathtaking view of "The Walk" at JBR, "Ain Dubai" — the longest ferris wheel in the world — on Bluewaters Island, Dubai Harbour Cruise Terminal, and the always spectacular The Palm, with the two Atlantis hotels in the distance. At night, the whole scene looks like a giant, shiny treasure trove full of gold! Shot with Fujifilm GFX50s

Few of the funfair rides you see today are as iconic as Ferris Wheels, or Big Wheels as they are also known. Taking its name from the wheel built for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, 1893 by George Washington Gale Ferris. Though William Somers installed three fifty foot wooden wheels in 1892 so perhaps they should be called Somers Wheels. Then again Pietro Della Valle, a Roman traveller wrote of riding a Great Wheel in Constantinople in 1615, so should they be Constantinople wheels or Della Valle Wheels? Whoever deserves the naming rights, it was George that actually ended up adding his name to one the enduring legacies of the funfair industry. Lets take a look at some of the weird and wonderful wheels around the world. The Original Ferris Wheel The original 'Ferris' wheel pictured here was 80.4 metres high, 264ft if you are sticking to olde measures, not sure how many cubits that is if you are even older than Imperial measurements. It was intended to rival the Eiffel Tower which had formed the centre piece of the Paris Exposition. The axle weighing 71 tonne was the world's largest forging at that time, and the ride had a carrying capacity of 2160 people, unrivalled today Indeed the world's biggest wheel the Vegas High Roller managing a little over half that. The Vegas High Roller Currently the world's highest wheel is the Vegas High Roller. At 550ft (158.5 metres, 366.67 cubits) high, this beats the Singapore Flyer by a scant 9ft. Rotating on two custom designed spherical bearings each weighing just under 9 tonnes. The passenger cabins are electrically rotated to maintain a smooth level ride and each weighs 20 tonnes. A wheel currently being built in Dubai should claim the crown as world's tallest wheel if it ever opens, currently construction is 5 years behind schedule. The Vienna Riesenrad Located inside the Vienna Prater (the world's oldest amusement park), the Riesenrad was constructed in 1897. This has unique old fashioned cabins, one of which can be hired complete with dining and a champagne meal. It was designed by Harry Hitchins and Hubert Cecil Booth, a pair of British engineers, and constructed by Lieutenant Walter Bassett Bassett an English engineer. to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Emperor Franz Josef I. At 212ft high it is nowhere near the 'big' wheels out there, but it adds a touch of class all its own. The Tianjin Eye Observation Wheel Also called the Tientsin Eye, this is a mid height wheel at 394ft, what makes it unusual, is that it is the only major wheel actually built on a bridge, in this case the Yongle Bridge, over the Hai River in Tianjin China. The Osaka Wheel This is an oddball in the wheel world. Rather than being round it is an oval shape. The main structure doesn't move rather the cars move around a track. The Big O Situated in the Tokyo Dome City, Japan. This is not only the world's largest centreless wheel at 200ft high (it has an actual roller coaster built through the middle), it also has a number of cars with karaoke machines fitted. We are not actually convinced that being stuck on a ride for 30 minutes with someone singing badly is a great move. Baseball Ferris Wheels Not particularly large, but certainly novel. Built in Comerica park, downtown Detroit. The location of the Detroit Tigers Major League Baseball Team. The Waggon Wheel No, not a biscuit, though legend has it that the biscuit was a similar size before inflation kicked in. This is located in Flamingo Land Amusement park here in the UK. Themed around the iconic plains wagons of old America. YeeeHaaa The Golden Reel Figure 8 Located in Macau, this is one of the highest wheels in the world. Not due solely to its size, but to the fact that it is actually built to join two hotels together. You board on the 23rd floor, and what makes it even more unique is that fact that it is a figure 8 wheel, having 2 loops does that make it Ferris Wheels? Royal Tyres Wheel The Uniroyal giant tyre wheel created for the 1964 New York World's Fair. Now located in Michigan this 80ft high wheel was designed by the same firm responsible for the Empire State Building, Shreve, Lamb & Harmon. Driven by a 100hp engine the wheel carries 96 passengers. John Kormeling Wheel Created by the artist John Kormeling, this is one wacky wheel. Instead of gondolas for the passengers, it has flat structures that you actually park you car on, yes, you don't even have to leave your car to ride this wheel. The Priyat Big Wheel This wheel isn't particularly tall, or have any unusual features. Oh, except for being quite close to a major nuclear disaster. The wheel is virtually brand new having hardly been used before Chernobyl went tits up. It isn't one we would recommend visiting, although there are actually companies now running tours to the area around Chernobyl. Eccentric Wheel These are an uncommon version of the wheel. Instead of the cars being suspended on axles at the ends of the arms, they travel on a track that zig zags inside the main structure, so they slide towards the centre of the wheel then away from it. There was one built in 1920 at Coney Island, and another at one of the Disney parks. Underground Ferris Wheels A mere 65ft high and only 6 cars would make this a pretty poor example for Ferris Wheels. Until you consider it is actually underground inside a giant salt mine. Located in Turda, Romania, the mine dates back to the 13th century and is 368ft beneath below ground. I guess that technically makes this the world's lowest wheel! Read the full article

Essential Tips for Foreigners Renting a Yacht in Dubai
Renting a yacht in Dubai offers a unique way for tourists to experience the city’s skyline, pristine waters, and world-famous landmarks. For foreigners visiting Dubai, understanding the yacht rental process can make the experience seamless, enjoyable, and memorable. Here are some essential tips to ensure a smooth yacht rental in Dubai.
1. Know the Requirements for Renting a Yacht in Dubai
Foreign tourists looking to rent a yacht in Dubai must adhere to a few basic requirements. The process is straightforward, and most companies will only ask for a valid form of identification, such as a passport. Additionally, guests must respect local customs and laws while onboard, including the regulations surrounding alcohol consumption, which may vary depending on the rental provider.
2. Choose the Right Yacht Rental Company
Dubai offers a variety of yacht rental companies, each with unique packages, services, and fleets. To make sure you get the best experience, research different providers and read reviews. Reputable companies will have transparent pricing, clear policies, and quality customer service. Look for a rental company that caters specifically to tourists, as they often provide amenities like English-speaking crew members and curated packages that cover Dubai’s must-see spots.
3. Consider the Type of Yacht and Trip Duration
Yacht rental companies in Dubai typically offer a range of vessels, from smaller, private yachts for intimate gatherings to larger luxury yachts designed for parties and celebrations. Before booking, consider the size of your group, the type of experience you’re seeking, and your budget. Additionally, think about how long you want to be on the water. Shorter trips, like two to three-hour excursions, are ideal for sightseeing, while full-day or overnight rentals provide more time to relax and explore at a slower pace.
4. Plan Your Route in Advance
To make the most of your yacht rental in Dubai, plan a route that includes some of the city’s iconic landmarks. Popular stops include the Burj Al Arab, Atlantis the Palm, and Bluewaters Island, home to the stunning Ain Dubai Ferris wheel. Some companies also offer bespoke routes, allowing you to personalize your cruise itinerary based on what you most want to see. Discuss your preferences with the yacht rental provider to ensure they can accommodate your desired route.
5. Check for Additional Services and Amenities
Many yacht rentals in Dubai come with added amenities that can make your trip more enjoyable. Some offer catering services with gourmet meals, live DJs, and photographers to capture your adventure. Depending on your rental company, you might also have access to water sports equipment like jet skis or paddleboards. Be sure to ask about these services when booking, as they can elevate your experience and make it truly unforgettable.
6. Be Aware of Local Regulations
Dubai is known for its strict regulations regarding behavior and decorum. This applies to yacht rentals as well. While on board, tourists should avoid any behavior that might be considered disrespectful or disruptive. Adhering to guidelines provided by the yacht crew will ensure a pleasant experience for everyone.
7. Dress Comfortably and Stay Hydrated
Dubai’s temperatures can be quite high, especially during the summer months. To stay comfortable, wear light clothing, bring sun protection like hats and sunscreen, and keep hydrated. Most yachts have shaded areas, but it’s a good idea to bring along anything you might need to stay cool and comfortable on the open sea.
By following these tips, foreigners renting a yacht in Dubai can enjoy a stress-free, scenic, and memorable cruise. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to experience Dubai from a fresh perspective, a yacht rental in Dubai promises an unforgettable journey on the Arabian Gulf.
