Hi, We are booked on this cruise in November. Does anyone know how far the ports are away from the destination. for example Dubai, Muscat , Bahrain ,

Are they a way out and long journeys to anywhere,

Cant seem to get any information.

Thanks in advance

Muscat - port bus to gates where taxi's congregate ( rip off prices so walk towards town and hail one) then 10 min walk to souk etc.

 

Dubai - port is about 2 miles to gates - not allowed to walk - taxi's outside terminal bldg but charge 2-3 times as much to get from there compared to going back. Don't know if Marella have buses that usually go to nearest Mall but will be limited in number as taxi's have stranglehold so expect long delays for bus if there is one. Once outside taxi fare very reasonable or get metro card for 24hrs unlimited travel for about £4-5

Taxis in Dubai charge a 20 dirham surcharge to leave FROM both the cruise terminal and the airport.

 

 

There is no surcharge to travel TO either.

 

 

Port info on where you dock, currency, what to do, see etc can be found here on cruise critic in the RESEARCH section. Top of the page. Use the drop down to find Destinations.

 

 

Also on many other cruising websites eg whatsinport which we find very useful.
