DUBAI & ABU DHABI - UAE,

OMAN & QATAR
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Oman & Qatar
Experience the eclectic mix of cultures of the Arabian
Peninsula from grand sultans' mosques, soaring skyscrapers
with an architectural edge, exotic souks selling spices, gold
and frankincense, or museums focused on Islamic culture
from artwork and ceramics to a timeline of the region's
history.
Ride a camel in the shifting dunes, cross canals in wooden
abras, learn the ancient art of falconry, swim in turquoise
seas, or take an off-road adventure on mountain roads
through ancient canyons.
We hope to inspire you to venture further.
