Did you watch the Titanic?\u00a0I’m not talking Leo or Kate Winslet, but the size of the ship and the fancy-pancy atmosphere! Presenting on FC today: a week of cruising in the Middle East with MSC. MSC Fantasia Big, bigger, biggest. The MSC Fantasia was launched in 2008 and can fit a staggering 4.363 passengers. Say what?! The ship has 18 floors, yes 18!! Can you imagine how many time we got lost trying to find each other in a bar or restaurant? Or on the deck? No time to be bored on the MSC Fantastia, because there are several pools…<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>
Everything comes to an end! Abu Dhabi was the final destination of our cruise with MSC. In style with our last-minute mindset, we visited the Sheikh Zayed mosque only hours before catching our flight back to Amsterdam. But oh my was it worth it! The Mosque \u062c\u0627\u0645\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u064a\u062e \u0632\u0627\u064a\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0643\u0628\u064a\u0631 When the mosque came into sight as we approached in a taxi, we couldn\u2019t help but marvel. The domes and towers towering out over the scenery look magnificent! Impressive from the distance and even more impressive from up close. The Sheikh Zayed mosque is the largest in the UAE and…<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>
Let\u2019s meet Dubai, the place where nothing is too crazy! From the most exclusive hotels to the man-made Palm island and ofcourse\u2026 worlds highest building the Burj Khalifa. While cruising the middle east with MSC, we had a 2 day stopover in Dubai and we made the most of it! In fact, we took making the most of it so literally that we skipped sleeping all together. From a night out on Friday, we went straight to breakfast at the ship, only to have a shower and head downtown to do some sightseeing. If that doesn\u2019t make us hardcore travellers,…<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Please pay attention for an important message! Due to bad weather circumstances around the island of Sir Bani Yas, we\u2019re changing our route. Next stop: Dohar, Qatar. We were having lunch when we heard the news and instantly started cheering. I mean, who can complain about visiting a new country that wasn\u2019t even on the itinerary in the first place? Not the FashionContainer team. Qatar\u2019s capital city Doha will host the World Cup in 2022 and was also recognized as one of the New7Wonders Cities in 2015. Enough reasons to be excited….<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>
Is it just us, or does a destination of which you\u2019ve never heard the name before, adds some extra magic to the experience? Khor al Fakkan was a lovely little surprise during our cruise with MSC. Khor Fakkan Like mentioned in one of our previous posts, Khor al Fakkan is a city along the Gulf of Oman on the east coast of the UAE. The United Arab Emirates, in case you don\u2019t know what UAE stands for :). Did you know that Khor Fakkan means: Creek of Two Jaws?! No?! Now you do! While it sure has a picture perfect…<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>
