end of your cruise there is a full day and overnight on board in Dubai too. Enjoy this exciting modern city
rising from the sands of the desert. Perhaps go on a jeep safari across the sand dunes, visit Palm Island headed by the
magnificent Dubai Atlantis Hotel and resort or admire the views from the top of
the Burj Khalifa the tallest building in the world with 163 floors.

Island nation of Bahrain and has been at the centre of major trade routes since
antiquity. Its acclaimed Bahrain National Museum showcases artefacts from the
ancient Dilmun civilization that flourished in the region for millennia. The
city's thriving Bab el-Bahrain Souk offers wares from colourful hand-woven
fabrics and spices to pearls.

romantic BBQ at Emirates Palace, enjoy 360 degrees city views from revolving
restaurants or taste the masterful cuisine of Michelin-starred chefs! Perhaps

which were once a vital green oasis on the caravan route from UAE to Oman and
is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beneath the 82 white-marble domes of the Sheikh Zayed Grand
Mosque lies an immense Persian carpet, crystal chandeliers and capacity for

luxurious oasis in the midst of the desert which resembles an old Arabian
fortress town nestled in the valley of mountainous dunes camel trekking, dune
bashing, falconry shows and campfire barbecues.
