Diarygame Contest👉My Day In Words and Pictures | 25.01.2024 | Dubai Evening

In this part of my story about Dubai, I will combine 2 days into one, for clarity. This will be a short story, as they say. I won't tell you anymore about the breakfasts and sightseeing and desert safari because you might get bored reading.

Naturally, we broke the button on the photo camera, looked at shops and took a look at the restaurants. Some Chinese took pictures of us secretly (but I saw them) and giggled, which probably made half the people think we were some famous people and they all took pictures of us. That day we decided to take an evening walk around the marina and look at the luxury vehicles.

We went to Marine with my friends to gaze out from the sea towards Dubai. We had already passed by the local ships, so we decided to think, to walk and if we wanted, then to take a ride on the water bus. And we go again, staring at the yachts, etc. Two Indians were snoring sweetly on a yacht, but when they saw us they jumped. When the Indians see us, they always jump. I think they were glad they weren't the only ones on the planet at that time. It turned out that they wanted to convince us to ride on their yacht. They explained to me that at 8:00 p.m. they have two others and for $60 per person, they'll take us back for 1 hour around Marine and a bit outside. There was also free water. Hahaha, at $60... super free water. However, $60 per person seemed a bit much to us, and we had to hang out for another 2 hours, which was not an offer. I told them that we can't wait 2 hours, and 60 dollars is too much for us, so I asked if they could just give us the free water. They didn't understand the joke and assumed that they gave us one water each. The one Indian, obviously with the better business acumen, however, looks at us, looks and snaps, "Well, don't you want it now, for $60 total, before the boss comes." "Shukran", as it is called in the local language. How about a $60 yacht ride around the neighborhood. We got on, they gave us more water, they asked us what music we wanted and we laid down in the front of the yacht. The wind was blowing in our heads, but because it was hot, it wasn't felt that much. I think this is also why ovens have a fan function - so the chicken doesn't feel it's cooking. First let me tell you – when you sign up for such excursions, make sure they are at least 60 minutes. 30 minutes is just the exit and entry to the Marine. So we set off, tall buildings on the left, again on the right. At one point a Ferris wheel appeared. We passed a couple of inflatable boats with tourists on them, I gave them a big wave and some of my friends were dancing the whole time.

We got to this Atlantis Hotel and our people stopped the engines, having previously steered the yacht so that we could take pictures against the background of the Atlantis Hotel. We didn't miss taking a few shots.

Then we continued sailing where luckily our phone battery died so I asked my friends to take pictures. A little while later we gave the yacht a good throttle and made it home to the harbor before their boss arrived. The whole pleasure lasted about an hour and a half and was a nice change.

After taking the yacht for a walk around the wealthy quarter, it was already around 10pm, there was no sign of cooling down, so we had a drink each and ordered a hookah at a nearby restaurant. It turned out that there was a dance party here with exotic dancers.

As they say, we fed the eyes and fed the soul :)))
Thus ended our unforgettable evening of laughter and banter. We can't wait for the next challenge ahead :)
