My Trip in December 2024 (Part 6) - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

We spent two days in Dubai on December 13 and 14, 2024. It was the first time I had been on a cruise that stayed at the same port for two consecutive days.

我們於 2024 年 12 月 13 日及 14 日在杜拜停留了兩天。這也是我第一次乘坐的郵輪在同一個港口連續停泊兩天。

The mornings on the cruise were always refreshing. This was my standard breakfast on December 13, and the ship was already docked at Port Rashid, home to the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Cruise Terminal.

郵輪上的早晨總是令人精神清爽。這是我 12 月 13 日的標準早餐，而郵輪當時已停靠在拉希德港（Port Rashid）的哈姆丹．本．穆罕默德郵輪碼頭（Hamdan Bin Mohammed Cruise Terminal）。

I was very excited to visit Dubai, a city renowned worldwide for its luxury and modern architecture. It is also famously known as the "City of Gold."

我一直很期待來到杜拜。這座城市以奢華生活和現代建築聞名於世，同時亦有「黃金之城」的美譽。

Since we had purchased the Big Bus package that included one day in Abu Dhabi and two days in Dubai, we boarded the Big Bus immediately after leaving the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Cruise Terminal.

由於我們購買了 Big Bus 的套票（阿布扎比一天＋杜拜兩天），所以一離開哈姆丹．本．穆罕默德郵輪碼頭，便立即登上 Big Bus，展開杜拜之旅。

On my first day in Dubai, I took the Red Route. Along the way, I admired countless skyscrapers and unique architectural landmarks.

來到杜拜的第一天，我選擇乘坐 Red Route（紅線）。沿途映是一幢又一幢摩天大樓，以及各式各樣充滿特色的現代建築，令人目不暇給。

Do you know where I got off?  你猜猜我在哪一站下車？

It was Stop 5 at Al Seef, where I boarded the Arabian Dhow Cruise. 😊

答案就是 Al Seef 第 5 號站！😊 我就在這裡登上了充滿阿拉伯風情的 Arabian Dhow 傳統木船，開始遊覽杜拜河（Dubai Creek）。

What makes Turkish ice cream so special?

According to online sources, Turkish ice cream differs from Western ice cream because of its chewy, elastic texture and its resistance to melting. These unique characteristics come from two special ingredients—salep (ground wild orchid root) and mastic (a natural tree resin)—combined with rich goat's milk.

土耳其雪糕有甚麼特別？

根據網上資料，土耳其雪糕與一般西式雪糕最大的分別，在於它擁有煙韌、有彈性的口感，而且不容易融化。這種獨特質感主要來自兩種特別的材料——**Salep（野生蘭花根粉）**和 Mastic（乳香樹脂），再配合濃郁的山羊奶製成。

Let's begin our Arabian Dhow cruise!

The dhow sailed along Dubai Creek, offering beautiful views of the city's historic waterfront and traditional neighborhoods.

一起登上 Arabian Dhow 吧！

木船沿著杜拜河緩緩航行，兩岸盡是充滿歷史特色的建築和傳統社區，讓人感受到杜拜舊城區的另一番風貌。

The open-air wooden boats flying the UAE flag, with passengers seated on wooden benches facing the water, are Dubai's traditional water taxis.

河上不時可以看見懸掛著阿聯酋國旗的開放式木船，乘客坐在木長椅上面向河景。這些正是杜拜極具特色的傳統水上的士。

After the cruise ended, I returned to Al Seef Souk, where I experienced what Old Dubai looks like.

遊船結束後，我再次回到 Al Seef Souk，感受一下舊杜拜（Old Dubai）的獨特魅力。

I was fascinated by the displays featuring traditional clothing worn by a local couple and a family with children.

市集內展示了穿著傳統服飾的人偶，包括一對當地夫婦和一個家庭，讓我對阿聯酋的傳統文化留下深刻印象。

Unlike restaurant patios back home, this outdoor dining area in Dubai's historic district was surrounded by clay pots and traditional clay-stone architecture.

與加拿大餐廳常見的露天座位不同，這裡的戶外餐廳四周擺放著不少陶土花盆，加上充滿中東特色的泥磚建築，營造出濃厚的歷史氣息。

The menu looked colorful and appetizing. The seafood dishes were quite different from the Oriental cuisine I was familiar with.

餐牌設計色彩繽紛，看起來十分吸引，而海鮮菜式亦與我平日熟悉的亞洲料理截然不同。

While I was waiting for my Big Bus, a City Sightseeing bus arrived first. At that moment, I wished I had chosen City Sightseeing instead, since its routes were very similar.

正當我等待 Big Bus 的時候，另一家觀光巴士公司 City Sightseeing 的巴士竟然率先到站。當時我心裡不禁想：「早知道就選 City Sightseeing！」畢竟兩家公司的路線其實十分相似。

The next attraction was the Gold Souk. After getting off the Big Bus, the first thing I saw was a Tesla with a 24K gold-plated exterior on display at the Dubai Gold Souk Extension.

下一站就是舉世聞名的 黃金市集（Gold Souk）。一下 Big Bus，我第一眼看到的，竟然是一輛停放在 Dubai Gold Souk Extension 展示區、車身鍍上 24K 黃金的 Tesla，實在非常搶眼！

Visitors had a chance to win the gold-plated vehicle by entering a raffle. To qualify, they had to spend at least AED 500 (approximately CAD $195) at participating stores in the Dubai Gold Souk Extension between November 14 and December 29, 2024.

原來這是一項抽獎活動。只要在 2024 年 11 月 14 日至 12 月 29 日期間，於 Dubai Gold Souk Extension 指定商戶消費滿 500 阿聯酋迪拉姆（約 195 加元），便可參加抽獎，有機會贏得這輛黃金 Tesla。

I only did some window shopping there. The bracelets on the left looked very similar to the traditional Chinese dragon and phoenix bracelets.

我主要是在這裡逛街、欣賞櫥窗裡的金飾。其中左邊那款手鐲，跟中國傳統的龍鳳手鐲十分相似。

The international jewellery retailer Malabar Gold & Diamonds even displayed its Chinese name at its store in the Dubai Gold Souk Extension.

國際珠寶品牌 Malabar Gold & Diamonds 的店舖更特別展示了中文店名，可見華人旅客也是他們的重要客群。

Although the Dubai Gold Souk Extension looked newer and more sophisticated, I preferred visiting the traditional Gold Souk. It was definitely much more crowded, but it also had a more authentic atmosphere.

雖然 Dubai Gold Souk Extension 的環境較新穎、裝潢亦更加現代化，但我還是比較喜歡充滿傳統特色的 Gold Souk。

那裡雖然人更多、更熱鬧，但正因如此，更能感受到杜拜傳統黃金市場的獨特魅力和濃厚氣氛。

The jewellery in the traditional Gold Souk was just as elegant as that in the Dubai Gold Souk Extension. I especially liked the floral gold necklace on the right.

傳統 Gold Souk 的金飾一點也不比 Dubai Gold Souk Extension 遜色。我特別喜歡右邊那條充滿花卉圖案設計的黃金頸鏈，十分優雅。

It was my first time seeing a gold penguin. I don't recall ever seeing a penguin featured in a jewellery store in my own culture.

這也是我第一次看見以企鵝作為主題的黃金飾品。在我的文化裡，我幾乎沒有見過珠寶店會設計企鵝造型的金飾。

It was also interesting to see jewellery designs that are rarely found in my culture, such as a necklace featuring twin panthers with black accents.

除此之外，我還看見不少在自己文化中甚少見到的設計，例如一條配上黑色點綴、以雙豹為主題的黃金頸鏈，感覺既霸氣又充滿特色。

Other unusual gold designs included turtles, Shirdi Sai Baba, and Hindu elephant deities.

其他同樣令我印象深刻的黃金造型，還有烏龜、舍地賽巴巴（Shirdi Sai Baba），以及印度教的大象神像等，每一件都充滿異國文化色彩。

Can you believe they even had a GOLDEN SPORTS SHOE?

你相信嗎？他們竟然連金製運動鞋都有！😲

The next item that surprised me was a gold iPhone—or perhaps it was a gold iPhone case designed as a piece of jewellery. Would anyone actually wear a gold iPhone case as a necklace?

另一件令我大開眼界的展品，就是一部黃金 iPhone——又或者更準確地說，是一個設計成珠寶飾物的黃金 iPhone 保護殼。真的會有人把它當成頸鏈佩戴嗎？😄

The variety of gold fashion accessories, including a beautifully textured floral gold handbag, left me speechless. The Gold Souk offers much more than just jewellery and figurines.

除了各式各樣的金飾之外，市集內還展示了不少黃金時尚精品，其中一個是雕刻著精美花卉紋理的黃金手袋。原來 Gold Souk 不單只有珠寶首飾和擺設，更有不少充滿創意的黃金藝術品。

Right next to the Gold Souk is a marketplace filled with spices. 黃金市集旁邊，有香料市集。

I saw the word "saffron" everywhere throughout the market. 

這裡「Saffron（藏紅花）」幾乎隨處可見，可見它絕對是這裡最具代表性的商品之一。

One store even displayed the words "Original Iranian Saffron" in Chinese on its front door.

更有趣的是，其中一間店舖的大門竟然貼上了中文的「原伊朗藏紅花」字樣，可見不少華人旅客都會來這裡購物。

It was after 3:30 pm that we took Big Bus to the next attraction. Here was the view of Dubai Frame from my Big Bus, this is the World’s Largest Picture Frame!

下午 3 時 30 分過後，我們再次登上 Big Bus，前往下一個景點。

途中，我在巴士上欣賞到著名的 Dubai Frame（杜拜相框）。它被譽為全球最大的「相框」，外形非常震撼！

Can you guess my next destination? An aquarium?

下一站，你猜得到嗎？你會不會以為我要去水族館？

It was the Dubai Mall! The mall features a massive aquarium, with one of the world's largest LG OLED video walls installed above it.

答案就是Dubai Mall（杜拜購物中心)! 商場內設有一個巨型水族館，而水族館上方更安裝了全球其中一幅最大的 LG OLED 巨型屏幕，場面十分壯觀。

Here is the view of the aquarium and LED display from the upper level.

從商場上層俯瞰，可以同時欣賞到水族館和 LED 巨型屏幕，視野非常開揚。

The Dubai Mall Fountain Show takes place every 30 minutes from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. every evening. As soon as it was 6:00 p.m., everyone rushed outside to watch the show. There were simply too many people in front of me, and I couldn't see much. Based on my estimate, there must have been thousands of visitors gathered there at the same time!

Dubai Mall 的音樂噴泉每天由晚上 6:00 至 11:00，每隔 30 分鐘便會表演一次。

一到晚上 6 時，所有遊客幾乎同時衝到戶外觀賞噴泉。可惜前面的人實在太多，我幾乎甚麼也看不到。以我的估計，現場應該聚集了數以千計的遊客！

The fountain is located directly in front of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.

Since I missed the first performance, I patiently waited for the 6:30 p.m. show. Many other visitors had the same idea, so I still couldn't find a good viewing spot. Instead, I was squeezed into a corner of the bridge in front of the Burj Khalifa.

噴泉正正位於世界第一高樓——**哈利法塔（Burj Khalifa）**前方，因此每次表演都吸引大量遊客圍觀。

由於錯過了 6 時正那一場，我便耐心等待 6 時 30 分的下一場表演。不過，看來不少遊客都和我有同樣的想法，結果我依然找不到理想的位置，只能被擠到哈利法塔前方橋上的一個角落觀看。

After the fountain show, I returned to Dubai Mall, and the very first place I noticed was... Tim Hortons! I was excited to see this Canadian coffee and fast-food chain in such a prime location on the ground floor near the Burj Khalifa entrance. 

Do you think the menu and prices are similar to those in Canada?

表演結束後，我再次走回 Dubai Mall，第一眼看到的竟然是……

Tim Hortons！ ☕🍩

身為加拿大人，在杜拜看見這個熟悉的加拿大品牌，真的有一種特別親切的感覺。更令人驚喜的是，它位於商場地下、鄰近哈利法塔出口的位置，可說是黃金地段！

你覺得它的餐牌和價錢，會不會跟加拿大差不多呢？

Right across from the aquarium was a candy store. 水族館對面就是一間糖果店。

They even sold Lay's potato chips with Chinese labels. The flavours were quite unique, including seaweed, lime, and black truffle. However, I decided to buy Dubai Kunafa Pistachio Chocolate instead. I'm glad I did because it tasted fantastic and authentic.

店內竟然有印著中文包裝的 Lay's 薯片，而且口味相當特別，包括海苔粒、青檸和黑松露等。

不過，我最後還是選擇了最具杜拜特色的 Kunafa 開心果朱古力（Dubai Kunafa Pistachio Chocolate）。

事後證明我的選擇完全正確！味道非常香濃，而且充滿當地特色，我很高興自己在杜拜買了它。

All of a sudden, I heard the call to prayer. I looked out from the candy store, and most people continued walking as usual. I guessed that visitors were accustomed to hearing it, while those who wished to pray simply went to the designated prayer rooms.

突然之間，我聽到清真寺傳來悠揚的祈禱呼喚（Adhan）。

我從糖果店望向外面，大部分遊客依然如常逛街，沒有停下腳步。我猜不少遊客早已習慣這個聲音，而需要祈禱的人則會前往商場內設置的祈禱室。

I wondered just how large Dubai Mall really is. According to Wikipedia, it is tied with West Edmonton Mall in Canada as the 30th-largest shopping mall in the world. Like many large shopping malls, it features high ceilings and numerous luxury international brands, including Chanel.

我不禁好奇，Dubai Mall 到底有多大？根據 Wikipedia 資料，它與加拿大的 West Edmonton Mall 並列全球第 30 大商場。

與不少大型商場一樣，Dubai Mall 擁有挑高天花及寬敞的中庭，亦雲集了不少國際知名品牌，例如 Chanel。

Other brands included MANGO (which reminded me of Hudson's Bay, where I first discovered the brand), Tommy Hilfiger, and, surprisingly, Victoria's Secret!

其他品牌還包括 MANGO（令我想起第一次在加拿大 Hudson's Bay 認識這個品牌）、Tommy Hilfiger，以及令人有點意外的 Victoria's Secret！

I was also surprised to find Watsons from Hong Kong 😊

更令我驚喜的是，我竟然在杜拜看見來自香港的屈臣氏（Watsons)😊

Sadly, there are no longer any physical Hallmark stores in Vancouver, so I was happy to see one in Dubai.

可惜溫哥華已經沒有 Hallmark 的實體店，所以在杜拜再次看到 Hallmark，感覺親切。

Another interesting section was Dubai Mall Chinatown, one of the mall's newest additions. There was undoubtedly a lot to explore, but because of our limited time, I only managed to take a few photos near the entrance.

另一個值得一逛的新區，就是 Dubai Mall Chinatown。這是 Dubai Mall 最新增設的主題區之一，相信裡面還有很多值得探索的地方。不過，由於時間有限，我只在入口附近拍了幾張照片便繼續行程。

Like Hallmark, Xiaomi doesn’t have a physical store in Vancouver, but I was able to find one in Dubai Mall Chinatown.

與 Hallmark 一樣，小米（Xiaomi）在溫哥華沒有實體專門店，但我卻在 Dubai Mall Chinatown 找到了它。

Do you know why the English word "china" refers to porcelain? During the 16th century, Europeans were fascinated by the translucent white porcelain imported from China. They called these luxury wares "chinaware," and eventually the word "china" became synonymous with fine porcelain. Here are some exquisite porcelain tea cups from China.

你知道嗎？ 英文裡的 china 除了代表中國之外，也有「瓷器」的意思。

早於 16 世紀，歐洲人非常喜愛從中國進口晶瑩潔白的瓷器，並把這些高級瓷器稱為 Chinaware。久而久之，china 便逐漸成為「精緻瓷器」的代名詞。

眼前這些精美的中國瓷茶具，正正展現了中國瓷器歷久不衰的魅力。

Before leaving Dubai Mall, let's take one last memorable photo with the Cartier staff.

離開 Dubai Mall 前，當然要和 Cartier 的店員一起拍一張值得紀念的照片，為這一天畫上一個完美的句號。

By the time I returned to the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Cruise Terminal, it was already 9:00 p.m. Fortunately, the cruise ship was staying overnight in Dubai, so there was more flexibility in returning to the ship, although I had to miss the fine dining dinner.

當我返回 哈姆丹．本．穆罕默德郵輪碼頭（Hamdan Bin Mohammed Cruise Terminal） 時，已經是晚上 9 時。

幸好郵輪當晚會繼續停泊在杜拜，所以回船的時間相對較有彈性。不過代價就是錯過了郵輪上的晚餐（Fine Dining）。

The cruise terminal is much larger than the Canada Place Cruise Terminal in Vancouver. There was a wide variety of shops to explore. If I had known Dubai chocolates would become so popular around the world, I definitely would have bought more while I was there.

這個郵輪碼頭比溫哥華的 Canada Place Cruise Terminal 更大，裡面還有不少商店可以逛。

如果我早知道杜拜朱古力日後會風靡全球，我一定會多買幾盒帶回加拿大！😄

The next morning, MSC Euribia was no longer alone at the port. Another famous cruise ship, Cunard's Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2), was docked nearby. I became curious about its history. According to Wikipedia:

"Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) is a retired British ocean liner. Built by John Brown & Company on the River Clyde in Scotland for the Cunard Line, the ship operated as both a transatlantic liner and a cruise ship from 1969 to 2008 before being converted into a floating hotel in Dubai."

Wow! QE2 is older than I am. 😊

第二天早上，MSC Euribia 已經不再孤單，因為附近停泊了另一艘郵輪——Cunard Queen Elizabeth 2（QE2）。

我對這艘郵輪的歷史十分感興趣。根據 Wikipedia 的資料：

Queen Elizabeth 2（QE2） 是一艘已退役的英國遠洋郵輪，由蘇格蘭 River Clyde 的 John Brown & Company 為 Cunard Line 建造。她於 1969 年至 2008 年間一直作為跨大西洋客輪及郵輪服役，其後改建成現時停泊於杜拜的水上酒店。

哈哈！原來 QE2 比我還要年長！ 😊

On my second day in Dubai, I took the Blue Route on the Big Bus. Along the way, we passed by a beautiful mosque in the city.

第二天，我乘坐 Big Bus 的 Blue Route（藍線） 繼續探索杜拜。途中，巴士經過市內一座漂亮的清真寺。

Here is another daytime view of the Burj Khalifa. I also noticed a Lululemon store nearby.

這是白天的 哈利法塔（Burj Khalifa）。細心一看，附近還有一間 Lululemon 分店。

In less than 30 minutes, the Big Bus arrived at the Mall of the Emirates. Opened in November 2005, this shopping mall offers much more than retail stores, restaurants, and cafés. It is also home to the Middle East's first indoor ski resort and snow park!

不到 30 分鐘，Big Bus 便抵達 Mall of the Emirates（阿聯酋購物中心）。

商場於 2005 年 11 月正式開幕，除了有各式各樣的商店、餐廳和咖啡店外，更設有中東首個室內滑雪場及雪樂園，相當有特色！

After seeing so many gold accessories in Dubai, I even joked that perhaps I should get an engraved gold case for my cellphone.

看了杜拜這麼多黃金精品後，我在想：「或許我也應該替自己的手機配一個刻有花紋的黃金手機殼吧！」😆

The main purpose of visiting the Mall of the Emirates was to shop at Carrefour. It is the largest Carrefour supermarket in Dubai and the Middle East. To give you an idea of its size, it is about 15,000 square feet larger than the Real Canadian Superstore in Richmond.

這次來 Mall of the Emirates，我的主要目的就是逛 Carrefour 超級市場。

這裡是杜拜，也是整個中東地區最大的 Carrefour。

如果大家對它的規模沒有概念，它的面積比列治文（Richmond）的 Real Canadian Superstore 還要大約 15,000 平方呎。

I forgot to count how many aisles there were, but there were definitely more than 40 long rows of merchandise.

It wasn't surprising to find products from international brands and many different countries.

我沒有細數到底有多少條貨架，但肯定超過 40 排。

這裡售賣來自世界各地的商品，所以看到不少國際品牌一點也不令人意外。

The produce section was clean, well organized, and beautifully displayed. I imagine many of the fruits and vegetables were imported.

蔬果區整理得井井有條，陳列整齊又漂亮。我猜不少水果和蔬菜都是從外地進口。

I was much more interested in local and Middle Eastern products, such as the Arabic coffee pots available in various sizes.

相比之下，我對本地及中東特色商品更感興趣，例如不同大小的阿拉伯咖啡壺。

There were also attractive gift sets of Middle Eastern sweets and dates. 另外還有各式各樣的中東甜品和椰棗禮盒，很適合作為手信。

One of the highlights was a saffron fusion product from Yemen. Although Iran produces most of the world's saffron, several neighbouring countries also cultivate it, including Yemen. I'm not sure whether the saffron in this product came from Iran or Yemen, but the other main ingredient was authentic Yemeni Sidr Do'ani raw honey, which is considered one of the world's finest and most luxurious honeys.

其中一款令我印象最深刻的產品，就是來自也門的藏紅花配方（Saffron Fusion）。

雖然全球大部分藏紅花都是來自伊朗，但附近不少國家亦有種植，包括也門。我不太確定這款產品所使用的藏紅花來自伊朗還是也門，不過另一種主要成分——也門 Sidr Do'ani 天然生蜜，絕對是來自也門。這款蜂蜜更被譽為全球最珍貴、最頂級的蜂蜜之一。

When people think of olive oil, Italy and Spain usually come to mind. However, many Mediterranean countries produce excellent olive oil. At Carrefour, I found extra virgin olive oils from Tunisia, Palestine, and Lebanon. I would have loved to buy some to support these countries, but carrying heavy bottles while travelling would have been quite inconvenient.

說到橄欖油，很多人首先會想到意大利或西班牙。

其實不少地中海國家都盛產優質橄欖油。在 Carrefour，我便看見來自突尼西亞、巴勒斯坦及黎巴嫩的特級初榨橄欖油。

我很想買幾瓶支持這些國家的產品，不過想到還要帶著沉甸甸的玻璃瓶繼續旅行，最後還是放棄了。

There were also many international skincare brands, including Cetaphil. I was happy to see that many of the Cetaphil products were made in Canada😊 

超市內亦有不少國際護膚品牌，例如 Cetaphil。更令我高興的是，很多 Cetaphil 產品都是加拿大製造。😊

In Dubai, visitors would probably choose Dubai chocolate over Quality Street or Toblerone!

來到杜拜，相信大部分旅客都會選擇買杜拜朱古力，而不是 Quality Street 或 Toblerone 吧！

After spending several hours at Carrefour, we were running out of time and had to head to our next destination.

在 Carrefour 逛了幾個小時後，時間已經所剩無幾，我們只好趕往下一個景點。

Our next stop was the famous Atlantis The Palm. 

下一站，就是鼎鼎大名的 Atlantis The Palm（棕櫚島亞特蘭蒂斯酒店)!

Let's go inside and take a quick look!  一起進去看看吧!

The educational exhibits and presentations were both interesting and informative. They were included with admission to The Lost Chambers Aquarium at Aquaventure World. Aquaventure World is the world's largest water park.

酒店內設有不少寓教於樂的展覽和活動，只要購買 Aquaventure World 內 The Lost Chambers Aquarium 的門票便可參加。

Aquaventure World 更是全球最大的水上樂園，非常值得一遊。

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to visit the aquarium itself. I was satisfied with browsing the souvenir shop, where a small aquarium was located.

可惜行程時間有限，我未能參觀水族館，只能到紀念品店逛逛，店內還設有一個小型水族箱，也算是不枉此行。

While waiting for the Big Bus, I noticed a Turkish ice cream kiosk along the walkway.

等待 Big Bus 期間，我又看見了一個售賣土耳其雪糕的小攤位。

It wasn't until the Big Bus departed Atlantis The Palm that I was finally able to admire the hotel's full architecture from a distance. I immediately recognized it as the iconic view featured in many travel advertisements.

直到 Big Bus 離開 Atlantis The Palm 時，我終於能夠從遠處欣賞整座酒店的全貌。

這個角度實在太熟悉了！它就是很多旅遊廣告中經常出現的經典畫面。

The bus also passed several other famous landmarks, including the luxurious Burj Al Arab and the Museum of the Future. From the photo, you can really appreciate how enormous the museum is compared with the people walking nearby.

回程途中，Big Bus 還經過多個杜拜地標，包括奢華的 Burj Al Arab（帆船酒店），以及充滿未來感的 Museum of the Future（未來博物館）。

從照片中可以清楚看出，這座博物館的體積非常巨大，站在街道的人顯得格外渺小。

The final attraction I visited was Zabeel Palace. To get there, I took the Blue Route back to Dubai Mall, transferred to the Red Route, and got off at the stop after the Museum of the Future.

Visitors are not allowed inside the palace, so I spent my time exploring the beautiful gardens outside.

我在杜拜最後一個景點，就是 Zabeel Palace（扎比爾皇宮）。

前往皇宮時，我先乘坐 Blue Route 返回 Dubai Mall，再轉乘 Red Route，並在 Museum of the Future 下一個站落車。

由於遊客不能進入皇宮內部參觀，我便在外面的花園漫步，欣賞周圍優美的園林景色。

Since Zabeel Palace is quite far from the cruise terminal and it was already almost 5:00 pm. I decided to take an Uber back instead of waiting for the Big Bus. Fortunately, everyone returned before the final boarding time and was able to enjoy one last dinner on board.

由於 Zabeel Palace 距離郵輪碼頭較遠，而當時已經接近下午 5 時，為了確保能夠準時返回郵輪，我決定直接乘搭 Uber，而沒有繼續等待 Big Bus。

幸好大家最後都趕及在郵輪最後登船時間前返回船上，還可以享用旅程中的最後一頓晚餐。

These were the final photos from my MSC Euribia cruise.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The ship's beautiful design, excellent service, and well-planned itinerary all made this an unforgettable journey.

這些就是我在 MSC Euribia 郵輪旅程最後一晚拍攝的照片。

總括而言，這次旅程真的非常精彩！

無論是郵輪優雅的設計、細心周到的服務，還是安排完善的行程，都令這趟旅程成為一次難忘而美好的回憶。🚢✨
