Abu Dhabi
Middle East Cruise to Abu Dhabi, the Land of Contrasts – United Arab Emirates
Cruise to the largest of the seven Arab Emirates, to Abu Dhabi which combines tranquil beaches and beautiful desert oases with a vibrant, wild city life. Those with a taste for refined sport will enjoy the area's abundance of cricket, golf and equestrian activities.
Dubai
Middle East Cruise to Dubai, the 'Pearl of the Arabian Gulf'- United Arab Emirates
A cruise to Dubai will deliver you to one of the seven emirates that comprises the United Arab Emirates. With a mix of traditional architecture and glittering modern buildings, Dubai is a place of fascinating contrasts that can best be described as the 'Middle East meets Hong Kong with a little Las Vegas thrown in for style'. It is also the home of sand, sea and sun. Visit Dubai's waterfront and take a boat trip up Dubai creek, admire the beautiful architecture of the Grand Mosque, boasting the city's tallest minaret, or barter for souvenirs in the many souks around the city. Don't miss the Spice Souk and the glittering Gold Souq – crammed full of exquisite jewellery and at prices lower than anywhere else in the world. From designer clothes and custom-made sari's, to perfumes and spices you can get anything you desire. With guaranteed sunshine the multitude of water sports is spectacular, but your might like to try sand-skiing, 4-wheel drive desert safaris or camel riding. Or for something a little more relaxing enjoy a moonlit Bedouin barbeque, deep in the heart of the desert. The nearby emirate of Sharjah, with its captivating architecture and spectacular souks, was selected by UNESCO as the cultural capital of the Middle East.
Fujairah
Middle East Cruise to Fujairah, A Striking Mountainous Landscape Rich with Unspoiled Beauty - UAE
A cruise to Fujairah offers plenty for day-hikers, sports enthusiasts or anyone who appreciates spectacular scenery.
Ras Al Khaimah
Middle East Cruise to the Contrasts of Ancient and Modern Ras Al Khaimah, UAE
A cruise to Ras Al Khaimah will take you to the northern most emirate of the UAE and port city of the same name. The town, a port from ancient times, has developed only recently in the 20th century; it now has a hotel with a casino. Ruled since 1948 by Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qassimi, Ras Al Khaimah's history extends into antiquity. Archeological excavations reveal that a settlement with an advanced civilization that carried on trade with the Indian sub-continent existed in this region. Later historical records cite that the town of Ras Al Khaimah , then known as Julfar, belonged to early Muslim Caliphs.
