Dubai/Emirates
A cruise to the Middle East has so much to offer. From the extraordinary natural beauty of Oman and striking modern architecture of Dubai, to Egypt’s Valley of the Kings and Jordan’s ‘Rose-Red’ city, Petra. This region is a land cloaked in mystery and intrigue. Here, more than any other place in the world, it’s possible to walk in the footsteps of the ancients and gaze upon the remarkable architecture built to appease gods and celebrate Kings and Sultans. However it’s not just history that makes these shores perfect as a cruise destination. The waters of the Red Sea are famed the world over as a diver’s delight. There is the choice of shopping in air-conditioned complexes or among spice scented bazaars and souks. Then, of course, there are the beaches and parks offering serene places to simply relax.
