禄 游 记
I mentioned much earlier that coming Nov and Dec, i will once again embark on trips to explore the world and now, its confirmed!
This time round, UOB Travel is gonna bring me to two trips! The first one is to Dubai.. mega luxurious shopping places, sand dunes, man -made palm shaped islands…
Day 01 Singapore / Dubai
6D Adventures in Dubai and Beyond
With MediaCorp Artiste Bryan Wong
Special Dep : Nov 28
(Dinner) Assemble at Singapore Changi International Airport for your flight to Dubai, commercial hub of the United Arab Emirates.
Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel.
This evening depart from your hotel and drive to the jetty to board our Dhow Boat. Enjoy a 2 hour cruise with the best view in town. Dubai’s illuminated skyline under the open starts. The cruise is also complimented by a buffet dinner with live music on board to keep you entertained.
Day 02 Dubai (Breakfast / Lunch) Originally a small fishing and trading settlement, Dubai was taken over in about 1830 by a branch of the Bani Yas tribe from the Liwa oasis led by the Maktoum family who still rule the emirate today.
Traditional activities included herding sheep and goats, cultivating dates, fishing and pearling, but the inhabitants built up trade too. By the turn of the century, Dubai was reputed to have the largest souks on the Gulf coast with 350 shops on the Deira district alone.
Your half day city tour drives through the scenic route of Dubai for photo stops at Burj Al Arab (world famous 7 star hotel), Jumeirah Mosque, Burj Dubai (under construction to be the world’s tallest building) and the Sheikhs Palace (a stunning palace with peacocks welcoming you). Next, visit the Dubai Museum and experience an Abra ride (water taxi) crossing the creek towards Spice Souk and Gold Souk before heading for lunch.
After lunch, you will check in into Atlantis, The Palm. The rest of the day is free at leisure for you to explore and enjoy the facilities in the resort such as Aquaventure, Dolphin Bay and The
Lost Chambers.
Day 03 Dubai / Abu Dhabi / Dubai (Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner) Set off for the capital city of UAE – Abu Dhabi. You will drive to Union Square for a photo stop, followed by a visit to the Cultural Foundation (established in 1981). A short ten minutes walk leads to Qasr Al Hosn – White Fort, The oldest stone building in the city, where you will see Al Hosn Palace built in the late 19th century. Thereafter enjoy a panoramic drive to the Bateen District (the oldest occupied area of the UAE capital city, which is to be redeveloped at a cost of US$435 million to include a signature waterfront destination with a luxury 5-start hotel complex). This is followed by a visit to the Heritage Village, an authentic replica of a Bedouin encampment before oil wealth struck the area. Before heading back to the hotel, take a photo stop at Marina Café with the stunning view of the city’s skyline.
Day 04 Dubai (Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner) The day is yours for some local shopping at the souk, Mall of Emirates and Dubai Mall before embarking on a sunset safari.
Your 4×4 vehicle will drive up to the deflation point for deflating the tires before entering the desert where the off-road adventure starts – Dune bashing (a roller coaster ride in the sand dunes) and 2 photo stops (camel farm and stunning desert sunset).
This evening, experience a warm Arabian welcome with a refreshing towel, dates and Arabic coffee on arrival at the North Tours desert camp. At the camp, utilise the facilities and entertainment provided such as camel ride, sheesha smoking, photo shoot in Arabic costumes, henna painting and BBQ buffet dinner. End the evening with an exotic performance by our enchanting belly dancer.
Day 05 Dubai / Singapore (Breakfast / Hi Tea / Meals on Board) The morning is free till transfer to the 7th star hotel, Burj Al Arab Hotel where you will enjoy a high tea with Bryan Wong before leaving for the airport for your flight home. (Note : Formal attire is required to enter Bur Al Arab Hotel for your hi tea)

过去几个月，随便翻开报纸，看看那些tour advertisements，就知道Bryan又要飞了! Haha.
我记得你不是说过：I am tired of flying lor?
Hmm…maybe you said that because of the year-long filming schedule of the travelogue programme ＜优游天下＞.
Anyway, have fun Bryan!

旅游的目的是什么? 每次旅行你最大的感受是什么? 比起团队旅游, 我觉得背包行更有乐趣!

Hi,
My sister is moving into new house, and would like to get some ideas on home decor.
Do you know if we could get “pai jia le” in DVD format from any shop ?
Thanks
