We start our travels through the United Arab Emirates with arrival in Dubai. Tour Dubai for two days observing the fascinating juxtaposition of the traditional and modern lifestyles.  From Dubai, we travel overland visiting three additional Emirates: Sharjah, Ajman, and Ras Al Khaimah.

Our tour of Oman will take you to amazing places.  Starting in the pristine Musandam Peninsula town of Khasab. Enjoy the beauty of the khors (fjords) and experience the picturesque fishing village. Continuing on the tour to a less visited part of Oman, Salalah, the country’s Dhofar province.
