CUISINE STEP INTO SPICE WORLD

The Gulf States offer a wide choice in restaurants serving the varied cuisine of the communities that call this region home.

Arabian Spicy Lamb Pilaf

BITE INTO BIRYANI

You might be familiar with biryani from your favorite Indian restaurant, but this popular dish of rice, spices, meat and vegetables is a Middle Eastern staple, too.

Mezze are small plates popular throughout the southern Mediterranean and the Middle East, and you can find them at cafes, bars and restaurants throughout the region.

Cruise with Mein Schiff 6 – Dubai to Oman (Orient)

12. December 2022 Kategorien: Reiseblog , Asia , United Arab Emirates , Dubai

We are looking forward to a new cruise. We have already cruised the Adriatic Sea with MSC Cruises this year. And now we decided us for a one-week cruise with the Mein Schiff 6 (TUI Cruises) in the Orient. Cruises are predestined to combine multiple destinations in a convenient and stress-free way. You always have the hotel with you, there is no daily packing and unpacking of suitcases, you don’t have to worry about food, you have a great entertainment program every day – and that in the rule at a mostly super price-performance ratio. Simply perfect!

Our cruise with Mein Schiff 6

We booked this trip just four weeks before departure. The colder the temperatures became in Germany, the more the anticipation of escaping the cold winter for a short time increased. We have taken a few cruises in the past – both sea and river – so this trip with Mein Schiff was our 11th cruise !

This cruise was actually our first trip with TUI Cruises. And we very consciously chose this shipping company because we really wanted to try out a ship from the Mein Schiff fleet. So far, we had only heard good things about the ships and what they had to offer, so we wanted to see for ourselves. And one thing we can say in advance: We were totally thrilled! Both from the ship as a whole, the modern ambience, the range of restaurants & bars, the premium inclusive services, our balcony cabin and the Christmas feeling in the pre-Christmas period.

The route “Dubai to Oman

Since we really wanted to fly to the warm, our choice fell very quickly on the one-week trip “Dubai to Oman” . We already knew the United Arab Emirates from our past visits to Dubai and Abu Dhabi , but Oman was completely unknown to us until this trip. So we also went to the Orient and we were very curious about the strong contrast between tradition and modernity: Glass skyscrapers and luxurious shopping malls exist here next to magnificent mosques, lively markets and rich traditions.

We were able to experience five eventful and varied days ashore: Our journey took us from the city of superlatives – Dubai – to Abu Dhabi, where the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates is located. We continued to the oriental Khasab (Oman) with its breathtaking fjord landscape and to Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman, which is surrounded by mountains and desert. The last stop on our trip, after a relaxing day at sea, was Sir Bani Yas Island (UAE), which offers a mile-long sandy beach and a nature reserve with 10,000 animals. With beautiful memories in the luggage the disembarkation took place then again in Dubai.

For the one-week cruise, we paid EUR 599 per person in the balcony cabin (booked directly through TUI Cruises); we only had to pay EUR 79 for our 2-year-old daughter. We booked the flight to Dubai separately, because we wanted to spend a few days in Dubai before the cruise ( travel report RIU Dubai ) and the transfer on site to the hotel/ship we organized ourselves. The direct flights from Frankfurt with Emirates cost about 600 EUR per person . The comparable package flight & cruise would have cost about EUR 300 more in total via TUI Cruises. So it’s always worth comparing prices.

Mein Schiff 6, Dubai to Oman, Route, Cruise

The route Dubai to Oman with Mein Schiff 6

The “Hamdan Bin Mohammed Cruise Terminal” in Dubai

From our hotel RIU Dubai we took an UBER in the early afternoon to the cruise terminal “Hamdan Bin Mohammed Cruise Terminal 3” in Dubai. The ride cost 66 AED in an UBER XL (17 EUR). The Cruise Terminal is very large and very modern; there are many stores and free wifi.

Important to know: In Dubai there are 2 different cruise ports! The old port “Port Rashid”, to which we had to go (location in Google Maps ), and the new port “Dubai Harbour”, near the Palm Jumeirah (location in Google Maps ). These two cruise ports are about 26 kilometers apart. Therefore, when taking a cruise from Dubai, it is essential to check in advance from which cruise port the trip will depart. This is also important if you plan to stay in Dubai beforehand (like us) or perhaps afterwards.

It is also only 11 kilometers (20 minutes) from the Port Rashid cruise port and Hamdan Bin Mohammed Cruise Terminal to Dubai Airport, and around 35 kilometers (45 minutes) from the Dubai Harbour Cruise Terminal.

The check in

In the run-up to our cruise, we already had to deposit all relevant data in the ship manifest online in the Mein Schiff portal (master data, answering a health questionnaire, adding means of payment, etc.), so that everything was optimally prepared for check-in. In addition, we were able to decide on a check-in time beforehand and chose the earliest possible (3pm). We then also received a text message relatively early in the afternoon that our cabin was ready for occupancy – what a great service. The check-in on site was then also super fast and smooth. Our passports were withheld and not returned to us until the end of our trip. The background is that on the journey the passports are checked by the local authorities and stamped if necessary. It was not necessary to carry the passport in any port. By the way, we did not receive our cabin cards at check-in, but they were stuck on the cabin door.

It is important to mention that it was required for us to present a negative antigen covid test (“rapid test”) at check-in. We researched for a while beforehand where to do such a test in Dubai, but almost everywhere only PCR tests are offered. Therefore, we opted for a video-guided self-test from TestiFly for EUR 9.95, whose certificate is also officially accepted by TUI Cruises. We had brought the test kit with us from home.

The check out

After our return to Dubai (around 1 p.m.), an entry check of all passengers by the local authorities took place at the port terminal. This control was obligatory for all guests and had to be done by 2:30 p.m. at the latest. Only afterwards were they allowed to go on their shore leave. We got our passports back from TUI Cruises employees right before the entry control.

Since our return flight with Emirates left very early the next morning (8:40 a.m.), we opted for a pre-dinner check-in directly at the cruise terminal. Emirates has several check-in desks here and offers this service free of charge to all cruise passengers who have booked an Emirates flight . We were able to drop off our suitcases here in the evening, were checked in and could then drive to the airport with hand luggage the next morning. For this transfer we had again booked an UBER, for which we paid 57 AED (15 EUR) from the Cruise Terminal.

Our cruise ship: Mein Schiff 6

The “Mein Schiff” fleet of TUI Cruises consists of a total of 7 cruise ships. Mein Schiff 6 is the shipping company’s fourth newbuilding. She was christened and put into service in the Port of Hamburg in June 2017. The ship has 15 decks with 1,267 cabins that can accommodate 2,534 passengers .

Our balcony cabin

When booking the cruise, we didn’t think twice about whether to take an inside cabin or a balcony cabin. The choice fell on a balcony cabin ! The reasons were many: The balcony cabin is larger and equipped with an additional sofa bed, we can permanently enjoy the beautiful view of the sea and are awakened in the morning by daylight. In addition, we also find it much more pleasant with a child to have a little more comfort and view.

Our balcony cabin was on deck 8 port side . In our booked rate, we could not choose the location of the cabin ourselves when booking, but it was communicated to us shortly before the trip. However, we must say that we were more than satisfied with the location of the cabin. It was just perfectly located in the middle aisle near the elevators, so we were super quick everywhere. That was just great!

Our cabin had a living area of 17 m² and a balcony of about 5-7 m². We really liked the color scheme and the furnishings and immediately felt at home. Our daughter, by the way, too, because she spread out her toys only a few minutes after moving in and certainly wanted to tell us directly with it “I like it here and here I stay” 😉 The cabin was equipped with a comfortable double bed, a sitting area with sofa bed, a desk, TV, telephone, safe, bathrobes & slippers, an espresso machine, a hairdryer and air conditioning. The bathroom with shower was – as everywhere on ships – quite compact and functionally furnished. On the balcony there was a table with two chairs.

We were really thrilled with the baby/child equipment in the room : When we moved into the cabin, the freshly made travel cot with a really good mattress was already ready, as well as a diaper pail, a changing mat and a baby bathtub. We have not experienced this before – not even in a hotel. What a great service for families ❤

Interior on board

Our travel period was in mid-December, so of course it fell perfectly into the pre-Christmas season. On the ship, a lot of effort has been made to create a Christmas atmosphere through elaborate decorations and some activities. For example, there were several festively decorated Christmas trees, garlands, large gingerbread houses, always well-filled cookie plates at various locations on the ship, as well as individual activities such as a Christmas market on the outside deck or a cookie-baking class for children.

During our trip there were also two VIP guests on board: On the one hand the soccer expert Reiner Calmund who could be experienced live during an interview and Q&A session in the theater as well as the star chef Tim Raue under whose name the speciality restaurant ‘Hanami – By Tim Raue’ is operated on board Mein Schiff 6.

We love exploring the different decks of a ship. And Mein Schiff 6 really has a lot to offer: in addition to the very inviting area around the reception with Thalia reading lounge and café bar, there is a comprehensive entertainment program with the theater, casino, studio and art gallery from the areas of music, show, pleasure, sports, art & culture. In addition, you can stroll through the various stores of the Neuer Wall and store here to your heart’s content.

Relaxation and activity are available in the ship’s approximately 1,800-square-foot spa and fitness area : whether it’s a sauna session, body and beauty treatments, or a visit to the gym, there’s something for everyone. All walking and running enthusiasts have access to a jogging track on the outside deck at certain times.

Mein Schiff 6 has 17,895 m² of outdoor decks : various sun decks and pool decks invite you to unwind and relax with a view of the sea. The large outdoor pool is certainly the highlight on the outdoor deck, as here you can swim 25-meter lanes and refresh yourself. Around the pool are two whirlpools and sun decks with ample sun loungers. On the Aqua Deck there is another pool, the Lagoon, which is a bit smaller but also offers two more whirlpools.

We especially liked that both pools have larger areas on the outer edges where the water is only ankle deep. This was perfect for our little daughter, who could play and splash around wonderfully here . There is no separate children’s pool on board. By the way, if you want to have a completely relaxed retreat, you can reserve and book one of the so-called relaxation boxes.

Areas for families & children

We were positively surprised by the offer for families with children. We received a flyer right at the beginning of our trip that listed and described the children’s program for the trip , so we were able to get a good overview of what was available for us. Since it was not a vacation season, the offer was rather designed for babies/children up to 6 years, which suited us wonderfully.

On board there are various facilities for children:

In the Kids-Club – Island of the buccaneers all children from 3 to 11 years are invited to discover, play and be creative. There is a varied program here adapted to two different age groups, full of adventures, stories and workshops, always accompanied by trained counselors. Here we attended the family free play time almost every day in the afternoon, where we played and made things together and exchanged ideas with other families. Another nice regular program item was the raving hour outside in the arena, where a course for toddlers was set up. The highlight of the trip for our daughter, however, was certainly the children’s bingo for the whole family, where the little buccaneer Capt’n Sharky was with us the whole time. He is the mascot for the children on board and entertained everyone properly during the bingo 😉

In the Sturmfrei – Teenslounge for young people aged 12 and over, the motto is: parents must stay outside. Workshops for teenagers, game consoles, and creative and sports programs are the focus here.

Plenty of nest warmth for parents with children under 3 years of age is offered by the Nest – Baby room on board Mein Schiff 6. The room is open throughout and perfectly equipped with toys.

Restaurants

When it comes to culinary catering, there is a great variety on board Mein Schiff 6: The 11 restaurants & bistros did not exactly make it easy for us to decide where to go every day. But luckily we were on board for a few days, so we could try another restaurant besides the buffet restaurant, like the Osteria or the Day & Night Bistro.

As part of the “Mein Schiff Inclusive Services”, meals and a variety of drinks are already included in the cruise price in many of the restaurants and bistros. In addition, there are several specialty restaurants on board where you can enjoy exclusive dining experiences for a fraction of the price a comparable restaurant visit would cost ashore. These include, for example, Hanami – By Tim Raue, Surf & Turf Steakhouse and the alpine restaurant Schmankerl.

If you’re thirsty, you’ll be spoilt for choice on Mein Schiff 6, as there are 16 bars & lounges offering a wide range of drinks: Soft drinks, beer, sparkling wine, a selection of wines, cocktails and long drinks, spirits, coffee specialties and much more. Thanks to the “Mein Schiff Inclusive Services”, most of the beverage selection is also included. There are only three exclusive bars on board (Café Bar, Diamant Bar, Champagne Treff), for which there is a charge.

Food & Drink

Culinary we were well catered for on board. Our main port of call was the buffet restaurant Anckelmannsplatz , where we could always put together our own meal from the national and international cuisine. We also thought the bakery in Anckelmannsplatz was really great: depending on the time of day, there were crispy rolls, pretzel sticks, delicious panini and tasty pastries.

We are big fans of buffet restaurants, because we have the largest selection there and can try our way through. Especially with a child, it is easier and less complicated for us to eat from the buffet, so we don’t have to wait long for food. In addition, there are no fixed meal times and no seating arrangements in the buffet restaurants of the Mein Schiff fleet – that’s perfect!

The ice cream bar on the Aqua Deck was also always well attended – and we were also there regularly in the queue 😉 The offer ranges from innovative ice cream creations according to the original Italian recipe (Bruno Gelato) to fresh waffles and crêpes with various toppings.

Dubai to Oman – The Epic Musandam Cruise Day Trip

Almost everyone who visits Dubai visits one or more of the neighboring Emirates, but few take the trip from Dubai to Oman. There are several routes to pick from, a popular one being Dubai to Dibba because you can take advantage of the Gulf of Oman and experience some dramatic scenery. If you are visiting Dubai, consider the Dubai to Dibba route.

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our  disclosure and privacy policy for more information.

Getting from Dubai to Oman via Dibba

Let’s start with this is not a trip I recommend solo. Don’t rent a car and head out. In my opinion, renting a car would be a massive mistake . Oman has one of the world’s highest death rates from traffic accidents. And, unless you’ve already got a visa for Oman, you will run into problems.  The logistics alone are a huge reason you need to book a tour of some form to take advantage of this trip.

Map of Dubai and Oman

Dubai to Oman Map

We booked this trip through our hotel concierge, although there are now many day trip options you can pick from . If you try to book this through your hotel, eyebrows will be raised. I felt that sending tourists out of the Emirates and over to Oman to spend money is not exactly a goal for the Dubai tourism industry. I had to insist they book this for us, which is not advertised locally.

If you research this route, you will get mixed opinions and views. Disregard this and go for it. If you’ve made it to Dubai, this day trip is something you will appreciate.  If you’re a thrill-seeker or like to go off the beaten path, this is all you. Or, if you are a collect a country stamp type of person, this is for you.

So, let’s get into the details:

Oman, officially the Sultanate of Oman, is an Arab country that borders The United Arab Emirates, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia. The northern section of the Peninsula Coast separates the mainland and juts into the Strait of Hormuz. This region is separated from the rest of Oman by the United Arab Emirates. Oman is a Muslim country, and the Musandam region is often cited as beautiful as the Norwegian Fjords .

Getting To Oman From Dubai

I assume you read my earlier advice and took it to heart. And that you are going to book a trip through a tour operator. If you don’t, good luck, and let us know how it goes!

The tours start early, and it’s a long day out. You’ll be picked up at around 7:00 am and then make the usual rounds to pick up others joining you once the bus or van is full – off across the desert to the border.

FYI – The tour will also return you to your hotel.

Tours From Dubai to Oman

Crossing the border from dubai to oman.

This might seem odd or funny, but this was one of the highlights for me. It’s a tad shady. First, you’ll stop before the border to inspect your papers. The tour operator on site will scan your passport, check all the details, and give you the equivalent of a day pass, not an actual visa . Ironically, you provide all your information in advance, but it’s rechecked. Not a bad thing. This ensures your ability to cross the border. From there, your bus will proceed into the line at the border.

It’s as you would imagine – sketchy. Oman police are dripping in rifles and an excess of other military weapons, ready for trouble should it occur. Once your buses arrive at the Oman border, an agent boards the bus to check that everyone’s papers are in order. It’s intimidating but exciting! They did not review every passenger’s documents, it was random, but they checked at least half of the passenger’s paperwork. And we had someone on board that was grilled in broken English about his previous travels. The Oman border control found his travels either exciting or suspicious.

We passed through with no issues and went to Dibba port, where the fun began.

Note: You cannot take any photographs while crossing the boarder

Dubai to Oman

Riding the Dhow in Oman

One of the most compelling reasons to take this tour is to ride the Dhow. A dhow is a traditional Arabic boat. The Dhow is the generic name of several traditional ships with one or more masts common to the region.

Don’t get me wrong; you can ride a dhow in Dubai, but let’s be honest – everyone who’s been to Dubai has done this. The boats are the same; however, the landscape is dramatically different. Oman has the most rugged and beautiful coastlines in the world. I’ll add they are also remote and then some.

As soon as the Dhow takes off, you start to see why people compare this landscape to Norway. One difference is the climate, Norway’s cooler, and while the water is piercing clear in Oman, it’s a Caribbean blue.

Imagine yourself relaxing on a fabulous traditional Arabic boat in the middle of nowhere, seeing the mountains of Musandam. Better imagine what this looks like when the sun sets. I caught many pictures with the Dhow in the sun’s background, and cheesy as it might sound, the views are priceless.

Dubai to Oman Sunset

You’ll cruise for an hour or so, and then you will pull into a cove where you will get to explore the beach, the water, and all the other traditions you would expect from a water-based trip.

Activities on the Dhow

Here is what to expect in terms of choices of things to do:

  • Snorkel the beautiful blue water
  • Speed boat blasting
  • Banana boat riding
  • Take the speed board to the limestone (white rock) and tour inside the caves.
  • Sunbathe on the beach, or explore the beach
  • Jump or swing off the Dhow and splash into the water
  • Handline fishing

We opted to explore the beach and admire the vistas; we did the caves, and Brian tried hand-line fishing.

Mussandam Cruise Line Fishing

You get to spend about two hours at the chosen cove, and then it’s time to return to the Dhow. Back on board, you’ll be treated to a traditional lunch that’s buffet style. The food was adequate but not spectacular. Don’t expect to be wowed; it’s not a feast. Add to this that there are people with many worldwide – all with different cultural norms. Creating a line and lining up (or bum-rushing) the line will be a factor. Some people tried to jump in the queue. They were barging in as if there was not enough food for all. This concept’s not new; I’ve experienced it worldwide.  I remind all to get in line, and I’m firm enough to set the tone.

Food in hand, it’s time to lay back on the dhows cushions and take in the sunset. A quiet and calm trip; it’s not a booze cruise you would take in the Caribbean . The low key with almost all people opting for the layout.

What You Need When Visiting Oman

What you need to know about a trip from dubai to oman, visas and day permits.

  • Unless you do a day tour, you need a visa to visit Oman .
  • If you take a tour, you do not need a visa, and you will get a day pass subject to your return on the same day.
  • Before touring, you will have to provide copies of your passport, and you need six months left on the passport to enter.
  • A copy of your passport must be sent 48 hours before the trip to arrange entry.
This is important. You can’t arrange this trip the day before you need to book this at least two days (sometimes three) in advance.

General Tips For Travel From Dubai To Oman

  • Day trips from Dubai start at around $75 and go up to $500. The cost depends on the tour you pick. Essentially, the price is dominated by choosing a shared vs. private tour.
  • Tours provide everything you need except sunscreen, including snorkeling gear, life jackets, water, etc.
  • You can wear a bathing suit on the beach, other than this, be moderate.
  • You do not need currency or cash. Everything you need is provided on the boat.
  • This is a long day, at least ten hours. In our case, it was for twelve hours.
  • Non-alcoholic drinks are included, and you can buy alcohol on most tours.
  • Depending on where you dock, there is a chance the locals will be unimpressed by your arrival. We experienced this, and it was comical. A love-hate relationship was exposed before our eyes, and the locals tried to chase off the tour company.
  • Taking pictures of Arab Women is considered offensive, and before you take a local photograph, you must ask for permission.
Note: Some of the beaches have been littered by tourists. It’s sad to see and it’s the main gripe that people cite following this tour. It’s shocking to be somewhere so remote, barely inhabited and stunning yet dressed in trash. Unfortunately, this is a concept I’ve seen in several countries . If you take this tour, please do not leave any trash behind.

Driving from Dubai to Dibba is approximately an hour and forty-five minutes.

You do not need a visa if you take a day trip. You will need a visa if you do anything other than a same-day return trip.

You can apply for a  visa here.

Yes, some people do speak English, but it’s not universal.

Yes, you can, but it’s not recommended.

A 10-day tourist visa costs five to ten riyals, which is approximately $1.50 – $3.00

Yes, if you book a day trip through a travel agency.

Closing Thoughts

The typical traditional Dubai tourist rarely leaves The Emirates during their stay. This is understandable. The Middle East has a reputation for volatility, which steers many from considering branching out. I will tell you that you will be fine if you use a reputable tour company and have paperwork in order. The tour company will take great care of you and ensure you cross and return without problems.

Most important, you will have experienced something that few do. Lastly, if you get fortunate, you’ll experience the debacle between those living in the mountains, sounding the beaches, and the tour operators.

Aside from the cove, what else can we see/esperience in this day trip

Hi Lyn. For this specific trip it’s just the cove :) Nikki

Thnx for posting! Would this trip be recommendable for a family with two little (4 and 3) children?

There were no kids on my trip, so I can’t say for sure, but I don’t see any reason (other than the border crossing) why kids could not take the trip. Nikki

Such a nice post. This is really a trip I would make. Oman is a country, I’m dying to visit. And I’m always fascinated by border crossings. Besides that I have never been to Dubai, I only know the airport because of the many transfers. The dhow ride sounds like lots of fun…:-)Thanks for sharing your story.

How I got a Job on a Cruise Ship, Kenyan Woman Narrates

  • The famous phrase "dreams are valid" may mean many things to different people, but it defines every aspect of Melody Patricks's life
  • From running a small-scale mitumba business in Kenya to working as a nanny in Dubai, Melody always believed she would one day work on a cruise ship
  • She kept praying, fasting, and applying for job openings in the industry until doors opened for her to become a stewardess

Melody Patricks, a 36-year-old Kenyan mother, has overcome numerous challenges to carve a path of success for herself and her 14-year-old son.

She told TUKO.co.ke that her inspiring journey began in 2018 when she ran a mitumba shop, and life was tough.

Started applying for jobs abroad

Determined to find a better life, Melody embarked on a journey that would take her across continents in search of opportunities.

Her first job opportunity came through a friend who connected her with a family in Bahrain needing a nanny.

Despite the difficulties, she managed to work for three months but decided to return to Kenya with savings of KSh 100,000.

"I didn't stay long and got a job in Qatar. Still, I was not satisfied, so I went back home after six months," she recalled.

Worked 2 jobs in Dubai

Undeterred, Melody then set her sights on Dubai, arriving in January 2021 amidst the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Facing a job market messed up by the crisis, she found herself in dire straits, sleeping in a parking lot with two other Kenyan ladies.

"We would shower in a mall, dress up nicely, and head to the streets looking for a job," she asserted.

Determined to make ends meet, she eventually secured a nanny job with an Irish family and a part-time job as a night nurse in a hotel.

Melody's life took a positive turn

The job entailed babysitting guests' kids for five hours every night, earning 150 Dirhams (KSh 5,000) every hour.

With the impressive perks, her passion for nursing grew, leading her to pursue a course in Dubai while juggling work and school.

"I had so many clients for part-time that I couldn't manage two jobs. I had to resign from the Irish family and focus on being a night nurse," she continued.

Melody's fortunes began to turn, allowing her to purchase a car and build a stable life.

Cruise ship dream came true

However, her opportunities dwindled when they called off the pandemic, and guests started flying back to their countries.

Undeterred by setbacks, she set her sights on Europe, applying to various agencies to pursue a career on cruise lines.

She eventually secured a crew position with Viking Cruise, a role that opened her up to a world she had always dreamt, prayed, and fasted about.

How is cruise ship life?

Melody discloses that ship life is hard, adding that the speed is not for the soft-hearted and needs someone who knows what they want.

According to her, the secret is to take it as a bridge to your next goal; otherwise, one would return home within two weeks.

The silver lining is that many Kenyans are onboard and activities like parties, gym, spa nights, and going ashore.

"There are no day offs, that is why they have a short contract of six months," she warned.

She advises people to look at it smartly, as the job allows one to have hundreds of international stamps, which increases one's travel history.

From construction worker to flight attendant

Meanwhile, those who knew Betty Kilonzo two years ago remember her as a construction worker who earned minimum wage fixing floor tiles.

The 25-year-old single mother, however, managed to pull herself out of the doldrums to become a flight attendant with a regional airline.

Given her remarkable journey, Betty encourages those with unfulfilled dreams to persist, as things always tend to fall into place when they push themselves.
