About this experience
Join us to explore the Northern Emirates! We will visit the ancient cultural capital of the Middle East, explore Sheikh Umm Al Quwain Palace Museum, and enjoy the best panoramic views. You will also immerse yourself in the vibrant colors of the eastern market and swim in the Indian Ocean.
What to Expect
Religion, Customs, and Traditions
First, you will get acquainted with the cultural capital of the Arab World - the orthodox city of Sharjah. You will see the Pink Mosque, American University, date palm plantations, and, of course, the Quran Monument. The sacred book seems to hover over the main square, and its pages shimmer with elegant Arabic patterns.
Eastern Bazaar and Stunning Views
Next, we will cross the Arabian Peninsula from the coast of the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean, passing through all the natural zones of the Emirates: salt flats, deserts, mountains, and even savannah. As you observe the panorama from the window, you won't notice how you end up in the mountains at a colorful market. Golden threads of Persian carpets, a variety of exotic fruits, and finely crafted souvenirs will immerse you in a festive atmosphere! After a stroll through the market, we will ascend to a panoramic platform above the canyon and take picturesque photos overlooking the gorge.
Beachside Relaxation
We will stop at a hotel on the shores of the Indian Ocean for lunch and a swim in the waters of the Gulf of Oman. Visit a traditional farm where you can feed camels, and pass by the red sands of Ras al-Khaimah. Finally, we will visit the two smallest emirates - Ajman and Umm Al Quwain, each with its own unique charm.
