I’ve been watching and enjoying your videos since the start of the world cruise series. I’ve been most excited to see your videos in the UAE, my home country, and glad to see that you’ve enjoyed the city of Abu Dhabi. Can’t wait to see your video about Dubai too.
All the love from UAE 🇦🇪❤.
Dubai is coming up next, and we absolutely loved it. Thanks for coming along with us

I look forward to turning on my phone in the morning. And seeing that you put up another video. I love that. The two of you are having such a great time traveling the world together. Jealous.
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment. And thanks for sailing along with us
Fun, fun, fun how nice that you did such a tour, enjoy the rest of this once in a life time adventure and thank you for sharing. ❤
Thanks so much. We appreciate you following along with us.
Hello Mike & Nancy love your adventures in Abu Dhabi we have had camels in Aus since the late 1800 they were used for transportation in the desert. Stay safe from Sydney.
Thank you!
What fun! Looks rough when the camels start to unload you 😳
This is Nancy speaking and it was rough. I was a little concerned because I saw one of the ladies almost fall off when the camel knelt down.
Oh my so thankful it was so fun and wonderful! What a great memory, ty so much for sharing 🐪🥰
You are so welcome!
I’m ready to see your PBS Travel show. Love this trip
That would probably be a pretty big stretch for us!😀
Wow what fun!! I have so enjoyed going along on with you on your many adventures! Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks so much for following along with us.
Oh my gosh, I would have LOVED this excursion!! So surreal! Awesome!
It was a lot of fun.
That was fun. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Our pleasure!
Loved the dune ride. It seems like a roller coaster. Would definitely do that.
It was so much fun.😀
Abu Dhabi looks so interesting. The oasis looked like something from an old movie. :) I would so be into that!!
Abu Dhabi was a great stop.
i really enjoyed this tour. It was more fun then a DISNEY ride. Got sand in places I did not know I had. It was nice meeting you on board the ship.
Thanks so much. I can’t tell from your comment who you are, but we’ve been delighted to meet everyone who has said hello to us.😀
What a wonderful experience! Like you, Nancy, I would go back and do it again - so much fun!
And I loved the night shot of m’lady Serenade on your return. ❤️
She is a beautiful ship isn't she?
Omgosh, what a fun excursion for you guys! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
How fascinating was this site!
Very cool!
Always enjoy following your adventures and you are having some great ones. Really appreciate you sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I think when you travel you’re allowed to have some “cheesy” tours! What fun!
😁
What a thrilling and fun day! This was one of my favorites all around to watch so I can see why it’s in your top 10 Nancy. You got a little adventure, a little natural beauty, food, dancing culture and animals! Great vlog
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Another amazing video! The 4x4 safari ride looks amazing. I love seeing the stars without all the lighting. Glad you both took the time to enjoy the adventure, thank you for sharing it with us.
Our pleasure! Thanks for sailing along with us
I live in Indiana and we go up to Saugutuck to do dune rides there. We love it!
We take our ATVs over to Silver Lake Sand Dunes and have a great time there
Hello Mike and Nancy, you had so much fun 😀 😄... I don't think it was cheesy at all. I love Rollercoasters, so i would've love it.. I also love the fact that you had the experience to do star watching at night 😊😊😊😊jealous...kidding 😊😊😊 im glad for all everything you 2 get to do.i love your videos 😊😊😊❤
Thanks so much for your kind words. We appreciate them.
I love hearing your laughter on the dune rides!
The laughter was great, I edited out a few of the other words that happened🤣🤣🤣
You both are so adventurous! Great times hearing Nancy. hugs
Thanks a lot for coming along with us, yes it was a great time😁
So much fun to watch you guys❤
Thank you!
Great video! High praise that the catering was well organized for such a large group. I agree- it is what you make it. A little cheesiness can be fun! The moment to look at the stars sounds precious.
It was, so many people were rushing back to their vehicles to get back to their ship or hotel and we just laid there and looked at the stars. You have to absorb every moment and enjoy every second we're giving on this Earth
Amazing experience
It really is!
Nice video. The wild sand dune ride knowing me would probably make me motion sick so I'd have to by pass that and do the dinner and show. I don't like thrill rides unfortunately but I liked seeing the camels guys.
The camels were a fun adventure for us.
Great henna 🥰
Thanks 😊
I would need some Dramamine but the whole day looks like so much fun.
It was!
Love sand dunes! We did a dune ride-hubby was driving, son and his wife and I, going to the Green sand beach on the big island of hawaii. It was thrilling like this, except were in a jeep and thought we would tip over a number of times. it took a couple of hours to do.
Love the nena tattoo-it is beautiful! Again, thank you for the pro tips!
We know exactly what you're talking about, we've rented a Jeep in Hawaiian and that same drive and you're right it's kind of crazy getting down to the green sand beach. But it certainly is worth it
I have been watching you two on your big adventure from the start. I was drawn in mostly because both of my parents and their sibs were born and raised in GR Mich...so there's that connection. But my hubby and I are avid cruisers too. We just finished our 65th cruise...it was coupled with land adventures and we were gone for a month. We kept saying "how do Nancy and Mike do it"! lol We had a blast...but REALLY missed being home! Loved your Abu Dhabi adventure! Can't wait to see Dubai!
That is awesome! So glad that you're sailing along with us and hope that we can meet you someday on the seats
Thanks so much. We are now down to less than 40 days. And we missed the grandbabies terribly. However, we are really going to miss the ship and all of our friends on board here.
How fun!
It was a great time.
Looks good.
Thank you.
WOW
Thank you!
Another FANTASTIC Vlig with Sunday Breakfast !! Thank You both for sharing 😂🎉😂🎉😂 ❤❤ I enjoy your vlogs immensely !!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Wow, thank you for taking us on that ride! Never knew tires had to be deflated for riding in the sand!
We also have massive sand dunes in Michigan and have to do the same thing with deflating the tires
I could see how people compare the experience to a Medieval Feast event - from a performance standpoint. However the huge difference is you were in the middle of the desert (!) watching the night sky. Incredible
Thank you. It really was a neat experience.
Great video 👌 enjoying.
Lep pozdrav iz Slovenije
The port is one of the most beautiful I have experienced and all the feee Wi-Fi ha ha
It was a beautiful terminal, and free Wi-Fi is always a bonus
That looked like a really cook excursion. Thanks for sharing. I have enjoyed following you on this trip.
When are you going to be in Amsterdam going to Iceland and Greenland? I will be in Amsterdam on August 20th to get on the Jewel on the 22nd.
We will be in Amsterdam on August 19, so just a day ahead of you. We will be in Iceland on August 22 and in Greenland on August 26 and 28th.
Hi Mike and Nancy. Bit off topic but I'm curious what and when you went on your first cruise. We love your world cruise videos. Thank you
Our first cruise was in 1988 on our honeymoon. We went on Royal Caribbean‘s Song of America.
So jealous 😊
Good Morning from Florida!!
me too
Hello there! 😁
Great video, enjoying watching you see all these places. Pity you did’nt get to see the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi stunning building.We’ve sailed on the Serenade a few rimes and really liked it.When you reach the UK It’s a shame your not getting as far as Scotland as you would love our country
We had friends that just spent two weeks in Scotland and it sounded wonderful. It's on our list to go up there now
Were in Aberdeen and it's beautiful here just now. When you come to Scotland get in touch and we'll show you around
Nancy and Mike, how did your backs hold up with the camel ride? the Henna tatoo is beautiful. I agree the show was wonderful but it reminded me of the Road to movies with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope!
Yes the camel rides are a little rough especially when it goes up and down. You really made a smile with the reference back to the old movies. A little bit cheesy but hey some cheese can be good sometimes
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are only about an hour drive apart. I was in Abu Dhabi some years ago for the Volvo Ocean race. We took a local bus over to Dubai for a day to see the main sites there.
And that's our next stop. 🤗
I wonder if it was hard to figure out which Land Cruiser is yours, they all look identical. Or were they not assigned? Thanks for the update!
We could not tell them apart, but we just looked for our guide or I should say our driver.
Here it is Oct 6th and I am slowly catching up. I have enjoyed following along. In looking at your itinerary, I was impressed by the lack of sea days and the stretched where it was just port after port...You almost never got enough sea days in to devlop wobbly land legs, or did you? Did you ever find yourself wishing they had stuck a sea day in ... lol I was on the jewel in '09 and really enjoyed it more than Explorer or Adventure... ( as an old foggy I prefer more quiet) Were you able to errr... maintain weight through out the trip? .... you certainly walked a lot! .. ok.. enough!... be well.
We like our sea days and would have liked to have had a few more especially towards the end of the trip. This is Nancy here and I gained 23 pounds over nine months. As of today being home for a month, I have taken off 15 of those pounds.😉
I did dune surfing years ago in Death valley......hot hot hot!!!!!I was offered a teaching job in Abu Dhabi........didnt take it buy that was like 30 years ago.Just after the Gulf War.
I've done sand surfing at White Sands in New Mexico with Boy Scouts before it's a lot of fun. Hope you make it over to Dubai it was pretty amazing
So jealous of that ride! I once took a tour in a H1 and that was fun, but that ride through the deserts look like a lot of fun….. But … how do you identify with car was yours? Pretty much 99% of them were white….😅
It was a lot of white Toyota Land Cruisers for sure. You have to keep a real eye out for your guide
Great video as always 😊 fun fact you may know as your so well travelled all the camels come from australia approx 1 million here we export to the middle east
They did mention that, we asked what they really do with the camels and they're really just mostly for racing
@@livingphase2 yes thats right they also eat a bit of camel meat in the desert cameleers…. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghan_cameleers_in_Australia a short history camels in australia 😊
