Dubai, United Arab Emirates
This sunny, arid paradise on the edge of the desert also happens
to be one of the world's fastest growing cities and a premier
luxury travel destination for visitors around the world.
Fujairah, United Arab Emirates
A striking mountainous landscape rich with unspoiled beauty,
Fujairah has plenty to offer day-hikers, sports enthusiasts, or
anyone who appreciates spectacular scenery.
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
The largest of the seven Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi combines
tranquil beaches and beautiful desert oases with a vibrant, wild
city life. Those with a taste for refined sport will enjoy the
area's abundance of cricket, golf, and equestrian activities.
Mina Sulman, Bahrain
One of the major ports in the Middle East, Mina Sulman is
located just south of Manama, Bahrain's capital city and
thriving economic center. The city offers an abundance of shore
and aquatic activities for families or true adventure seekers.
Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt
Travelers to "The City of Peace" can enjoy the true basics of a
tourist holiday — sun, sand, and sea.
Aqaba, Jordan
Visit the sandy beaches in this port and you'll find scores of
tanned, bikini-clad revelers, with an occasional sign of the
old, sleepy fishing town Aqaba once was. The harmonious
relationship between modern 5-star hotels and Middle Eastern
antiquity is just part of what makes this city so unique. |

| What to Pack |
|
|
Days onboard are casual and you'll
be most comfortable in sport clothes and resort wear. Shoes
should be low-heeled for deck activities. Bring a few swimsuits
so you'll always have a dry one. You don't have to bring towels,
as they are provided. But don't forget your camera and
binoculars, so you don't miss a thing.
For evening wear, count on three basic types of attire:
Casual: Dresses or slacks and blouses for women, sport shirts
and trousers for men
Smart Casual: Dresses or pantsuits for women, jackets for men
Formal: Cocktail dresses for women, suits and ties or tuxedos
for men (you can arrange to rent a tuxedo onboard)
Ashore, you'll need comfortable walking shoes as well as a hat
and sunscreen for protection from the sun.
If you plan to visit Arab Mosques or other religious sites, it
is essential to dress conservatively. Sleeveless tops and shorts
are generally not allowed. |
