THE ARABIAN GULF…QATAR, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES AND OMAN
October 23 - November 04, 2024
Led by Tour Manager Nancy Weber
Best known for their wealth and abundance of oil, the Gulf States also house some remarkable museums that display magnificent ancient Islamic art, calligraphy, pottery, embroideries, and jewelry. In Qatar, you will saunter around the Old Souq (market) and down to the nearby Dhow Harbor to see some of the Gulf's traditional and distinctive trading vessels In the UAE, you will marvel at Abu Dhabi's unique architecture as one of the most futuristic cities in the world. When in Dubai, an emirate that has transformed itself in the last few decades from an obscure pearl-fishing village into one of the world’s most important trading hubs and a land of luxuries, you will visit its Old town. Oman is one of Arabia’s true gems - a land of rugged coastlines and vast deserts where tradition and progress go hand in hand. This wonderful adventure takes us from the heart of its picturesque capital, deep into its desert.
