5 WEEKS
Pan-Peninsula: Five Countries in Five Weeks
Spend the first two weeks of the journey enjoying the Gulf experience with four days in
each of the virtual city states of
Kuwait City
,
Manama
and
Doha
. Fly to
Dubai
and be-
gin week three with your head in the clouds on top of the world's tallest tower, the Burj
Khalifa, or admire this Dubai icon from another symbol of the vertical, Burj al-Arab.
Cruise the Dubai Creek to see how height dominates the city. Transfer to the UAE's soph-
isticated capital
Abu Dhabi
: what the turrets of the Emirates Palace lack in height, they
make up for in light bulbs.
With the city-centric part of the journey over, escape to the starry skies and apricot-col-
oured dunes of
Al Ain
. Allow time to wander through souqs of grumbling camels and
listen for the ghost of intrepid desert explorer Thesiger, commemorated in the fort museum.
