in Dubai
Old Ways Still Alive
Stroll around the nicely restored Al Fahidi Historical District, where you can get an impression of life in this emirate before oil was discovered in the 1960s. Explore the narrow walking lanes with their sand-colored houses, cafes and galleries. Then visit Dubai Museum, built in 1787 and the oldest existing building in Dubai.
On Top of the World
Stand on the Burj Khalifa for breathtaking views of this extraordinary city. At 828 meters, this narrow tower is the world's tallest so far. It has an observation deck on the 124th and the 148th floor, and a restaurant-bar on the 122nd. Book tickets well in advance.
Maze of Modern Life
Head to Madinat Jumeirah, one of Dubai's most attractive developments. With your Dubai cruise, stroll along the desert-colored villas and hotels, alongside waterways with palms, banana trees and bougainvillea. Sit down in one of the trendy local cafes for a refreshing fruit juice. At the heart of this modern village lies Souq Madinat Jumeirah, a maze-like bazaar with shops lining wood-framed walkways.
Local Cuisine
You'll be able to find food from anywhere around the globe here — but focus on the local fare for the most authentic experience with Dubai cruises. While you're out on the town, pick up a shawarma, shaved strips of spicy spit-roasted meat served in pita bread. Try manousheh, a flatbread topped with local Akkawi cheese and za'atar herbs. Slate your sweet tooth with luqaimat, fried dough balls spiced with saffron and cardamom.
Shopping
Pick one of the large number of malls in this shopping Mecca. There's Dubai Mall, the world's largest shopping center, as well as the Mall of Emirates. For a more traditional experience, browse the colorful souqs in Bur Dubai and Deira for Persian carpets, Arabic coffee pots and other trinkets.
Khasab, Oman
OF THE MIDDLE EAST
Stretch your legs on Luengoni or Luecila Beach, home to powdery white, flour-like sand. Jinek Bay is a must for snorkeling enthusiasts — Lifou has one of the most diverse coral reefs in the world. Peruse the village of Easo and experience the local culture: Check out the quaint church of Notre Dames de Lourdes, perched on a cliff that offers great views of bay, and see the traditional huts that still exist in the gardens of many modern homes.

in Khasab
Castle in the Sand
Visit Khasab Castle, a large stone fort built by the Portuguese colonists in the 17th century. Check out the distinctive cylindrical central tower, and see the museum inside, displaying jewelry, rugs and other antique items from the period when the fort was built. Outside, you can see large wooden dhows, a type of wooden fishing sailboat traditional to the area.
Wander the Water's Edge
Lifou's beaches are long stretches of postcard perfection. Sand as soft as talc powder and oceans as blue as the lapis lazuli will tempt you to stay forever. Luengoni Beach is a prime spot to work on your island tan. If you want to do some exploring, take a special tour of the nearby limestone caves.
Get Cultural
Native culture still thrives in Lifou. The Melanesian people on the island follow a meaningful traditional way of life in harmony with nature. Find out more about their culture by visiting one of the traditional huts — while most are private, a few are marked with signposts that invite visitors to view them, including one on the route to Notre Dame de Lourdes church.
Local Cuisine
Try the native dish bougna, a melt-in-your-mouth combination of crab and island yams cooked to perfection in banana leaves during your Lifou cruise. The dish is sometimes served with chicken instead of seafood and often contains sweet fruits like taro or pawpaw. The marketplace is near the port and is the perfect place to grab lunch on the go.
Shopping
At the open-air marketplace, you'll find vendors dressed in traditional island garb selling native creations. The local culture is called Kanak, and they create beautiful tribal masks and jewelry you can take home as a keepsake. While you shop, grab a freshly hulled coconut to stay hydrated island-style.
Muscat, Oman
SULTAN
Explore this fairy-tale town of medieval Middle East heritage by foot. Get lost in the dazzling Mutrah Souq, a colorful labyrinth with ceramics, jewelry and spices. See the Portuguese forts of Al Mirani and Al Jalali on the sand-colored hillsides. Explore the massive Grand Mosque, and admire the city's many other architecture landmarks, such as the Royal Opera House, a blend of Omani and Italian-imported marble.

in Muscat
Portuguese Past
The Portuguese occupiers built the impressive Al Jalali and Al Mirani Fort in the 16th century. Although they're closed to the public, they're a stunning backdrop for stroll along the harbor. The forts are on both sides high on the cliffs guarding the city's entrance.
Play Sultan
Visit the Grand Mosque (open in the morning), a gift to the nation from Sultan Qaboos and a mix of Omani, Islamic and modern architecture. It can accommodate 20,000 worshippers and has a rich prayer hall, an elaborate chandelier and a huge Persian carpet that took four years to weave.
Picturesque Heritage
Learn more about Oman's past in the elegant New National Museum in Old Muscat. Browse the beautifully presented archaeological artifacts, manuscripts and ship models during your Muscat cruise. When you're done, snap a photo of the Al Alam Palace with its blue and gold pillars opposite the museum.
Local Cuisine
The traditional dish of Oman is majboos (also called kabsa), basmati rice with spicy beef, chicken or fish — typically local-caught lobster, mackerel or red snapper — served with yogurt sauce. Perk up with a cup of kahwa, the local coffee mixed with cardamom powder, served alongside dates and sweets after a meal.
Shopping
Head to Mutrah Souq, Muscat's oldest market and one of the most characterful souqs in the region. Cruise to Muscat and browse a variety of goods and souvenirs like frankincense, perfumes, gold and silver jewelry, Omani hats and ornate decorative lamps with traditional geometric patterns. You can also shop in The Avenues or one of the other big modern malls for more modern retail therapy.
INSIDER TIP
Muscat's non-airport taxis are orange and white and don't have meters. Agree on the rate before you get in.

Aqaba, Jordan
A DESERT OASIS
The Red Sea's clear waters, pleasant temperatures and abundant sea life make this town with its rose-colored mountain backdrop an ideal location for snorkeling year-round — head to Al-Ghandour Beach, or try Palm Beach a few kilometers from downtown for a quieter experience. Then, dive deeper into the area's history: See the fortifications of Mamuk Castle and the Bronze Age artifacts of the Aqaba Archaeological Museum.

Underwater Adventures
Explore the world under the sea at the Aqaba Marine Park. Instead of snorkeling or diving, you can also take a trip on the Red Sea in a glass-bottomed boat. Or visit the Aqaba Aquarium, where you'll be introduced to the wide variety of colorful local fish and corals.
Red Sea Relaxation
Head to Berenice Beach Club, where you wade in the clear waters of the Red Sea or relax in a sunbed. Or opt for the free beach at Al-Hafayer, or Palm Beach: Stroll along the tree-lined boulevard that runs along the shoreline, or join in the local tradition of beach time with tea or coffee.
Local Cuisine
While you're here, be sure to sample Aqaba's signature dish sayadieh, a delicately spiced fish, served with rice with onion and tahini sauce. Cruise to Aqaba to try falafel in its place of origin — some say Jordan is the best spot in the world for savoring these fried chickpea fritters, spiced with cumin and garlic and brightened up with parsley. Finish with tea flavored with sage or mint, or opt for Turkish coffee, a slightly sweeter alternative to espresso.
Shopping
Some of the best shopping in Aqaba is in the souq, the market in the older part of town. Head here for Dead Sea products, handmade clothing, jewelry, carpets, pottery, glassware, nuts and spices — pick up a glass bottle filled with designs made in sand, a signature Jordanian trinket. Aqaba's special economic status also makes it a good place to pick up duty-free goods during your Jordan cruise.
INSIDER TIP
There are dozens of banks and ATMs around the city where you can get Jordanian Dinar (JD).

The site where the Colossus once stood is a momentary stop, but Rhodes offers plenty of other history. Ascend the Acropolis of Rhode, which rises above the port. Or stroll through the scenic Old Town, where you can climb the clock tower for a bird's-eye view of the city.
Monestary on the Mount
Take the 20-minute drive to Phileremos. It's a moderately difficult hike to scale the hill here. At the summit, you'll encounter a priceless panorama and a peaceful monastery lined with cypress trees.
Land Meets Sea
If you're up for an excursion, hail a cab to Lindos Bay. Here, with your Greece cruise, you'll find the perfect balance of idyllic scenery and convenience — it's less than an hour drive each way from the port.
Local Cuisine
If seafood is your thing, you've come to the right place. Some of Rhodes' specialities include stuffed clams shells, grilled sea bass and squid, served grilled or fried. For dessert, try tangy local feta drizzled with sweet honey and topped with crunchy sesame seeds. Cruise to Greece and stick around the harbor at the northern tip of the island for seaside dining.

Take Me to Church
The Agia Triada is one of the finest examples of Byzantine-style churches in Greece. The Church of St. Nicholas, which overlooks the port, has a magnificent interior filled with orthodox icons, frescoes and sculptures.
Mediterranean Romance
Part of the Castella district, Mikrolimano is the smallest and most picturesque port of Athens, making it perfect for a romantic afternoon.

Boats and the Bronze Age
The Naval Museum has exhibits that present ship building from ancient times to the present day. You will be fascinated by the Neosoikoi, the archaeological remains of the ship sheds where local craftsmen maintained and repaired the boats. Art lovers will have plenty to see at the Piraeus Archaeological Museum, from Bronze Age sculptures to classical Hellenistic pottery.
Local Cuisine
Try the local dishes prepared with sun-ripened tomatoes, eggplant, bell peppers and fresh seafood like mussels and grilled octopus. Look for trovolia, a typical fresh cheese to savor with marinated olives. Ask for recommendations on local wines — the most common white is lively, floral and aromatic Moschofilero, while the red of choice is Xinomavro, an indigenous grape with a bold, complex flavor.
Shopping
You may want to bring back home some of the typical liquors such as the anise-flavored Ouzo or the strong Tsipouro. Greek olives, spices and capers can be vacuumed-packed, making for convenient souvenirs. Look for locally made leather sandals, pottery and hand-painted ceramics. You'll find most shops in the Psyri district, not far from the Acropolis during your Athens cruise.

Rom (Civitavecchia), Italien
EVIGA ÄVENTYR
Tillbringa eftermiddagen genom att vandra bland Roms forntida ruiner eller de andliga skatterna i Vatikanstaten. Smutta på aperitivo före middagen eller ännu bättre, hoppa in i köket hemma hos en lokal kock för en praktisk lektion i la cucina romana.

i Rom (Civitavecchia)
ANTIK OCH HÄPNADSVÄCKANDE
Vandra genom antika Roms hjärta. Börja vid Colosseum, en enorm arena där gladiatorerna en gång kämpade. Strosa sedan runt nötta ruiner vid Forum Romanum, förbi dess sönderfallna tempel och basilikor. Se var kejsarna levde på Palatinen och njut av en närbild av den 2 000 år gamla, välbevarade kyrkan Pantheon.
ÄVENTYR I KVADRAT
Strosa runt piazzorna i Rom, där var och en ger ett unikt perspektiv. Ät al fresco på Piazza Navona och gå upp för Spanska trappan på Piazza di Spagna. Vandra på kullerstensbelagda gränder i sjudande Trastevere och strosa runt Campo de’ Fioris hantverksstånd. Se till att kasta ett mynt i Fontana di Trevi för framtida lycka.
HELIGA PLATSER
Utforska Vatikanmuseets enastående samling av gobelänger och klassiska statyer. Kliv in i Sixtinska kapellet och låt dig hänföras av Michelangelos takfresker. Gå sedan in i Peterskyrkan, en av världens största kyrkor, för att stå under dess enorma skyhöga kupol.
DET LOKALA KÖKET
Romare lever för att äta, oavsett om det är med familjen eller på ett utomhuskafé. För en autentisk smak av cucina romana, prova carciofi alla romana (bräserade kronärtskockor) eller spaghetti alla carbonara. Njut av panino (fyllda smörgåsar) eller italiensk pizza med tunn botten. Stilla sötsuget med en skopa gelato. Avsluta sedan kvällen med ett glas vitt vin från det omgivande Lazio-området.
SHOPPING
Gatustånden över hela staden är det bästa stället för souvenirer. Via Condotti erbjuder italienska designers skräddarkonst i rad. Besök ateljéerna längs med Via Margutta, eller indiska hantverkssäljare i stadsdelen Monti. Porta Portese har stadens största loppmarknad och la Rinascente, det första varuhuset.
INSIDER TIP
Konservativ klädsel (ej linnen eller shorts) krävs när man besöker Roms religiösa platser.
