First Call to Antalya
After finally leaving the African Continent and one seaday, we arrived on the next Continent, Asia! Ok, just quite geographically seen, but Antalya resides on the Asian Continent. Antalya will be our Embarcation-Port for the next few cruises, so we headed to the city center to see what we could do. The first thing was,…

From Alexandria to the Pyramids
After leaving the Suez-Chanel, we were meant to stop in Port Said, but due to the unsafe conditions there, we changed our port of call and went to Alexandria. From there, we organized a crew-tour to the Pyramids in Gizeh! Our little private Bus took us almost 2 hours from Alexandria to Gizeh, which was…

Canalization
After leaving Aqaba, we went from one gulf into another around the corner of the Sinai peninsula, up to Suez! We arrived there in the night and we had to wait for our convoy to gather, because the suez-canal is a one-way canal. And we were happy to get the convoy during daylight 🙂 So…

Journey to the past
Today we had one of those famous crew-tours again. This time, we went to an old old town, in this part of the holy land, which is today known as Jordan. The city we visited was (and is still called) Petra. But, as you might know, Petra has no harbor, so we left our mighty…

Time for some sports… Snowboarding?
Today, on our almost last call to Dubai, we had a trip to the winter… not really, but for two hours. When you are in Dubai and your missing the snow, you just can visit Ski Dubai and have a ride! You probably already heard of this monstrous ski-facility located downtown Dubai. We did, and…

Last (and personally) first Call for Manama
Today was a quite interesting day, because after a few month I had my first “first timer” again. We had been every week in Manama, but only a few hours so it didn’t worked out to go into the city and, at least once, we weren’t allowed to because of rumors going on in Manama…

Last Call for Abu Dhabi
Time flies by, so we already start to leave the middle east. Today we have been the last time in Abu Dhabi, and because we had seen already so much, we just went to the Marina Mall and went up the tower to get one last glance over this city. But before we left the…

The Dubai Fountain
As we had every time an overnight in Dubai, so for some people there was the possibility to enjoy the nightlife of Dubai. So did I, but this time I had to work, so I send my camera on a voyage to visit the Fountain-Plays at night. Enjoy! Related Images:
