Sail a journey of contrasts across the Arabian Gulf, where ancient ports and modern buildings meet in sunlit harmony. From Dubai, trace Oman’s coast to Sur’s maritime soul, Muscat’s golden domes, Khor Fakkan’s wild cliffs and Khasab’s quiet fjords. Return through the desert grandeur of Abu Dhabi, Manama’s lively streets and Doha’s cultural heart. Dammam brings coastal calm before a final day at sea draws this radiant blend of old and new to a close against the striking Dubai skyline.
