The Big Goodbye - Dubai

After a slight change to the itinerary Ocean Village arrived in Fujairah which would be the gateway port to Dubai and all the sights, sounds and colours that this vibrant city has to offer.

Coach loads of passengers were up bright and early for the journey through the rugged landscape to the delights of designer Dubai which is the home to the tallest building in the World, and some of the largest shopping malls and glittering gold souks for all the shopaholics who wanted some retail therapy.

Those that discovered Dubai were treated to some famous landmarks such as the iconic sail shaped Burj Al Arab hotel, the Palm Jumeirah the self proclaimed Eighth Wonder of the World, the Atlantis hotel and of course you can’t fail to notice the tallest structure in the world the Burg Dubai which towers 2,000 over the skyline.

Those that wanted a more action packed day delved into Dubai’s Deserts on a four wheel drive jeep safari or a four legged camel safari!

Following their Arabian adventures passengers returned back as the sun went down and formed a beautiful sunset over the Planet structure which was fitting tribute as during our overnight call, the singers, dancers and aerialists of Freedom 2 Move would perform the aerial spectacular Planet show for the very last time.Passengers watched in amazement as countdown commenced in preparation for the final blast off for the inter planetary journey through the solar system as the aerial performers produced death defying stunts on the cloud swing, trapeze, hoop, silks and rope with fire juggling & hand balance routines to Holsts Planet Suite 40 feet above the deck. The aerial spectacular show has been the signature of Ocean Village since its inception and tonight it made its finale performance.
