The United Arab Emirates

The Dubai skyline.
Unfortunately, the Cunard shuttle bus dropped us off at the Burjuman Shopping Center, about a fifteen-minute drive in the opposite direction. This is as close as I was able to get in the time allotted. The mall area was not much more than fast food chains and designer clothing stores.
The scenery from the shuttle drop-off point in Dubai was so unspectacular that I went out on Deck 7 that night to try making up for it. The skyline wasn’t visible from the ship, but I did get a decent shot of the ship’s spare propeller blades.


 The remaining six photos are from Abu Dhabi. Again, the shuttle left us off at a shopping center. This time, at least, it was nearer the downtown area.
