The heart of these exciting cruises is Dubai, one of the most exclusive cities in the world, with mosques and shopping centres; sea and desert. A different landscape and a different world is Oman, with a visit to Muscat, the captial, surrounded by splendid ancient walls. From Fujayrah you can discover the desert, with its mysterious landscapes of red dunes and rock, and where you can visit traditional stone houses and small villages.
In the capital of the Emirates, Abu Dhabi, you'll find a modern city that still retains its ancient traditions, best seen in the old souk and the Bastakia quarter. As well as a beautiful coastline, the emirates of Abu Dhabi also has a vast inland area, with the enchanting oases of Al Jiwa and Buraimi, while Bahrain, where ancient and modern blend in harmony, offers unforgettable contrasts. On the longer cruises between Italy and Dubai you also have the opportunity to make exciting stops at Egypt, for the chance to admire the Pyramids and the mythical Sphinx, and aftera spectacular crossing through the Suez Canal visit Sharm El Sheik on the Red Sea, an amazing paradise for scuba diving.
