To treat oneself to a cruise to the United Arab Emirates is something fascinating and evocative, a journey to unknown lands and seas that enjoy a history more than a thousand years old. An adventure into a world that has culture diametrically opposed to that of the West.
The cruise to the United Arab Emirates
For those who like to plan a vacation at an unusual time, perhaps from November to March, it is possible to consider a cruise to the United Arab Emirates. It is a mystical and fascinating land that is now as close as ever to Western conception through a path of sharing and globalization that has been underway for several years now. Despite this, the UAE is quite different from our way of life and can enjoy so much beauty then embellished with futuristic architectural structures. Ideally, you should plan your vacation from November to March to find lower temperatures and the opportunity to best appreciate the experience. In order for everything to be handled in the best possible way and for people to have access to infrastructure and packages that meet their expectations, it is necessary to turn to a company that has been involved in vacations and cruises in particular for many years, as in the case of Costa Cruises. A historic Italian company that makes quality and professionalism its hallmarks. Moreover, in recent years, Costa Cruises has rightly set its policy towards eco-sustainability by lowering energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions into the air.
Modern city and traditions
Along the itinerary of cruises in the UAE, it is possible to sail wonderful seas, rich in history and touch extraordinary cities that in recent years have been profoundly renovated with futuristic and futuristic architecture. There are many experiences to be had during this adventure such as spending a night under the stars in the desert or walking among the ancient stones of the city of Muscat. Few people know it, but there are fjords in this area as well, and particularly on the territory of Oman. In short, there are all the prerequisites for a wonderful experience especially if you keep in mind that you can include in the itinerary cities with great appeal such as Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi.

The stop in Muscat
When thinking about a cruise to the United Arab Emirates, it is impossible not to include a stop at the legendary city of Muscat in Oman. A true port capital of the territory that has always been of particular importance. Suffice it to say that this city is among the oldest in the Middle East and has always been a key commercial hub between the West and the East, connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the rest of the known world. Subsequently, Muscat has remained isolated from the world but has retained its important historic center and many places of interest worth visiting starting with the great mosque of Sultan Qabus. Other places not to be missed include the Al Alam Palace and the recently opened Royal Opera House in Muscat.

The magnificence of Abu Dhabi
Among the most famous cities in prestigious UAE is Abu Dhabi. It experiences great fascination starting with its incredible location because the city center is spread over a T-shaped island that stretches into the Persian Gulf. It is among the safest cities in the world and has an extraordinary history as well as a Skyline that has now become among the most beautiful in the world. In the wonderful Marina area there are Caribbean beaches with crystal clear sea lapping the golden sand. There are several examples of modern architecture stretching skyward such as the Capital Gate which is an interesting version of a leaning tower somewhat reminiscent in concept of the Tower of Pisa, although the style is completely futuristic. One can get lost in the Etihad Towers complex of buildings. Abu Dhabi also has a wonderful mosque, that of Sheikh Zayed. Moreover, one can arrange incredible excursions to discover the beauty of the islands of Saadiyat and Yas, skirt the watery forest by kayak, and launch into the desert in an all-terrain vehicle.

Dubai, Doha and Salalah
Dubai has become one of the largest cities in the United Arab Emirates with its three and a half million inhabitants and has on its territory the world’s tallest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa measuring 830 meters. However, Dubai is not only a very modern city that has developed so much in recent years but also an area rich in history. In fact, the city’s earliest inventions date back to around the year 1000. Today it is among the most highly regarded cities because of the quality of life and all the services that are offered. There is an immense proposal. In terms of premises run by foreign investors who come from all parts of the world including Italy. After Dubai, one can also stop by other equally beautiful and enticing cities such as Doha. It is another major tourist destination in this part of the world with a particularly busy beach and numerous attractions for visitors to stop by. It is home to the Qatari government and is now considered a city of cosmopolitanism. Its history is a particularly recent one Even as a community has developed only since 1825 partly because of climatic and natural conditions that did not allow for the best possible living conditions. Today things have definitely changed and it is a destination for tourists and especially among the cities in the world where the best investments can be made in any sector. There are many very tall skyscrapers such as the Aspire Tower with its 300 meters but there are also others under construction that will reach over 550 meters. A final stop to include in one’s UAE cruise is the city of Salalah. It is part of the Sultanate of Oman and the second largest city in terms of population numbers as well. A booming place that allows one to appreciate the culture and traditions of this people.
