Middle East Cruise Guide

A Middle East cruise pairs the glass towers of Dubai and Abu Dhabi with the forts and souks of Muscat, the dhow harbours of Doha and the coral of the Red Sea. Most sail the Arabian Gulf in winter, when the weather is at its best, and longer voyages continue through Aqaba, Safaga and the Suez Canal toward the Mediterranean. It's desert, sea and ancient trade routes in one itinerary, with the ship as your base.
