We docked an hour early at 11:00am in Fujairah, UAE under hot cloudless sky however the sand was blowing around making it look like a fog. The temperature hovered around the 100 degree mark that we’ve become accustomed to. There were many oil & natural gas tankers anchored off shore. This was a short stop of only 6 hours and we didn’t find an excursion that interested us so we took the shuttle bus into the LuLu Mall. This area is mountainous, dry and dusty. There were goats wandering in the streets and it looked like a small Central American town. There were only a few modern buildings. The mall was very small and took almost 15 minutes to see it all. I did find some Turkish coffee beans and Iranian saffron to take home with me. We had been told in advance that there wasn’t much here so we weren’t disappointed in what we saw.
The evening dress code was country club casual (CCC) and we sailed shortly after 6:00 under a night sky, heading for Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India. We’ll have two sea days on the way. We had dinner with Dodi Bacon, the Desktop Publisher, a friend from previous cruises, then attended the “Las Vegas” show in the theater and finally spent some time &money in the casino before retiring for the night.
