“The boat ride was nice and it was good weather with a warm breeze. The food tasted good. Mostly Indian with salads and some sweet pudding and fruit for dessert. Not as many buildings had lights as I expected, so not many pictures were taken. The live entertainment was one guy doing the dancing. He started in a Panda bear suit and Tanoura spinning dance with lights was the best. He gave people a chance to take pictures with him and he encouraged some women and children to dance with him. The music was being played over the speakers by someone’s phone. For the value it was good. 100 AED…”
