Celebrity
couple Akim & Stacy travel to Dubai for their honeymoon with ASTRO TV’s
‘Romantika Raya’
Renowned celebrity couple
explores Dubai to uncover romantic and family-fun experiences.
****************************************************************************
Last May, Malaysia's beloved celebrity couple
Akim Ahmad and Stacy Anam spent a romantic honeymoon holiday in Dubai, the
world’s 4th most visited destination in 2015.
The couple had an
amazing time exploring the latest attractions and learning about the local
culture of Dubai. Fans will now have a chance to share the happy couple’s joy
on July 10 (5 Syawal), when the ‘Romantika Raya’ travelogue programme debuts on
ASTRO RIA (Channel 104) and
ASTRO RIA HD (Channel 123). Proudly
presented by Dubai Tourism, in partnership with the ASTRO TV Network, viewers
can even follow in the footsteps of Akim and Stacy by joining the "4D3N
Discover Dubai" tour package tailor made by Amar Travel & Tours.
"It was an incredible honeymoon for us.
We would like to thank Dubai Tourism, ASTRO and Amar Travel for bringing us
such an unforgettable experience in Dubai. We had great fun meeting the
penguins, swimming with dolphins, visiting the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater
Zoo in the Dubai Mall and shopping at the traditional markets for Abayas and
traditional Middle Eastern food.
"We appreciated the warm hospitality from the
people of Dubai and were amazed at how affordable products and activities were,
which both surprised and delighted us," says Stacy.
Akim also added, "I admire how the
modern city of Dubai also has a traditional and natural side to offer. The
sunset in the desert was breathtaking and the most exciting part of it was the
sand-dune bashing, which we had never experienced before.
"The view from the
observation deck of the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa, impressed us hugely
- we were able to see the beautiful landscape of Dubai as far as the Palm
Island!" When asked whether they will visit again, he said: "we will
definitely visit Dubai again in the future. There are many attractions that
families with kids would love."
In the Romantika Raya programme, viewers will
have a glimpse of Akim and Stacy's honeymoon holiday in Dubai, where they share
their love story from the world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa, dash through snowy
mountains in the middle of the desert, enjoy a magical moment at the Dubai
Fountain and marvel at sparkling jewels in old-world souks.
Viewers will also
learn more about the couple’s change of routine after marriage, and how they
will celebrate their first Raya together.
During the filming, Akim and Stacy visited a
number of places of interest, including the desert
with safari tour, Ski Dubai
with a "Peng-Friend encounter", Dolphin Bay
at Atlantis The Palm, Sheikh Mohammed Centre
for Cultural Understanding (SMCCU), Al
Fahidi Historical District, Gold Souk and Spice Souk, The Dubai Mall, The Dubai
Fountain, Burj Khalifa,
Dubai Aquarium and
Underwater Zoo and Wild Wadi
