Muscat, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Dubai

The capital and largest city of the Sultanate of Oman, Muscat is a beautiful Middle Eastern city offering visitors diverse attractions, a low-rise gem, wedged between Arabian Gulf and scenic mountains. Once ashore witness lavish palaces, Zawawi Mosque, its pink marble crowned by a gilded dome and Muttrah Souq, a jumble of crafts and clothing perfumed with spices and frankincense. Take time and explore Bahla Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built in the 13th and 14th centuries, the impressive forts Al-Jalali, in the harbor of the old city of Muscat and Al Mirani, which overlooks the Sea of Oman, visit the spectacular Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, enjoy a stroll through Qurum National Park. Muscat also offers several museums and, further afield, the unique opportunity to watch camel racing and bull fights. 

Doha is located on the coast of the Persian Gulf and is the capital city of the State of Qatar. Qatar is the world's richest and most cosmopolitan nation on the Arabian Peninsula. Doha, once a small port, today is full of impressive, towering buildings of strikingly modern architecture and luxury shops such as the Pearl or the Villaggio Shopping Mall. Visit the stunning Museum of Islamic Art which houses the largest collection of Islamic artifacts in the world and the unique Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum with its magnificent exterior and its dazzling collections from cars to stamps and Islamic treasures.

Abu Dhabi is the lavish capital of the United Arab Emirates, built on a small peninsula surrounded by small islets. During your visit at this marvelous city of contrasts, with the fascinating blend of modern-day development and intriguing history, you can ride the world’s fastest roller-coaster at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, the world’s largest indoor theme park, spend an afternoon at the majestic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, infused with the region’s culture and religion or Abu Dhabi Cultural Foundation, situated in a contemporary building of typical Islamic design with arched columns, elaborate courtyards, and well designed gardens and beautifully carved doorways. Also interesting and one of the most important highlights, is the Qasr al-Hosn fort, known as :the white fort", the oldest stone building in the city and seat of the government for more than 170 years.

Stretching along the southernmost shores of the Arabian Gulf, cosmopolitan Dubai is often described as a city of contrasts. On one side, sparkling tall buildings, glitzy shops and sun-soaked beaches of a glamorous seaside destination, on the other side, a city rooted in tradition and history. Wander the narrow streets of the Al Bastakiya historic district, where you can take in the sights and sounds of bustling souks (markets) or the quiet wonder of local mosques. Dubai is a wonderful word for shopping, in the most impressive shopping malls, such ast the Mall of the Emirates that also hosts the ski centre, and the Dubai Mall, which are a tempting world of shopping opportunities.
