Cruise by sea from the UAE is much more convenient than traveling by land, as tourists move around in a floating 5 * hotel and every day find themselves in a new port in the UAE or another Arab country. A cruise in the UAE and Oman is much more economical than staying in a hotel, since very often the liner stays for several days in the port of Dubai or Abu Dhabi and serves as a 5 * floating hotel with an All-Inclusive food and entertainment system, which allows, living on the liner, visit beaches, tourist attractions, shopping centers in Dubai or other cities. Hotels on the coast do not offer such a food system. It is very common for cruise lines or cruise tour operators to offer cheap cruise deals or seasonal cruise ticket sales, as well as special offers for Gulf cruises. It is always possible to buy a cheap cruise from the Emirates on a promotional basis. The duration of cruises is very diverse: from mini-cruises to round-the-world cruises, which begin and end in one of the seaports of this region.
Cruises from the UAE in the Persian Gulf allow you to get acquainted with several countries of the Persian Gulf at once. For example, in Doha (Qatar) you can go on a jeep safari through a real desert and visit a traditional Bedouin camp. In Aqaba (Jordan), excursions are offered to the famous Petra - an ancient city with gigantic buildings carved right into the rocks. In addition, Aqaba is a magnificent resort on the Red Sea. In the Heritage Village in Fujairah (UAE), it will be interesting to see traditional Ayala dances and get acquainted with ancient Arabic crafts.
When to go on a cruise to the countries of this region
The climate of the Persian Gulf countries is mild, sunny with high temperatures in summer and moderate winters. Cruise companies start the cruise season in this region from November. The best period for cruise travel in the Persian Gulf is from November to March. During these months, the Gulf countries are no longer as hot as in the summer months, and warm enough to swim and bask on the beaches. Cruise companies offer the largest number of inexpensive tours of various durations in December-January: this option, like cruises in Southeast Asia, is considered an excellent choice to escape the Russian winter into summer. By the way, a beach holiday in the Gulf countries will be quite comfortable in the winter months, and for sightseeing this is generally the best time.
Cruises from the United Arab Emirates in the Persian Gulf in November and April can only be taken on liners of luxury and premium cruise companies - these cruises are slightly more expensive, but offer much more interesting routes, for example, cruises from the Emirates to Singapore.
It is also interesting to go on a cruise to the countries of the Persian Gulf for the New Year or Christmas. New Year's cruises in this region are one of the most popular routes, including the UAE, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain.
Which liners go on cruises from the UAE
A number of standard, premium and luxury cruise lines organize itineraries in the region. Very popular cruises from Abu Dhabi and Dubai cruise companies such as Costa Cruises and MSC Cruises. Exclusive and very interesting routes are offered by premium and luxury companies - Celebrity Cruises, Azamara Club Cruises, Oceania Cruises, Silversea Cruises, Crystal Cruises, Seabourn Cruise Line, Regent Seven Seas Cruises. The difference between cruises of different companies is in routes, cost and level of service. If standard cruises in the region include visiting Abu Dhabi, Sir Bani Yas, Muscat, Doha and some other ports, then premium and luxury cruise liners visit such attractive places as Sri Lanka, Indonesia, the islands of Bali , Seychelles (Mae and Praslin), Maldives (Male Island), Mormugao (Goa) and even the African ports of Mombasa (Kenya), Zanzibar (Tanzania) and Maputo (Mozambique).

Where do cruise routes start?

6. THIS CRUISE DOES NOT REQUIRE A VISA FOR CITIZENS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION!!!
The Persian Gulf has been strategically important for the peoples of this region since ancient times. The Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians, Arabs at various times used the waters of the Persian Gulf as a source of seafood and for navigational purposes. In the 19th century, when the richest deposits of gas and oil were discovered here, the Persian Gulf became one of the geopolitical centers of the planet.
Dubai as if saturated with sights: here are the latest, ultra-modern buildings, and structures that remind us of the old days. Now a museum, the Old Fort is surrounded by ancient buildings called "Bastakia". Its beautiful towers, which keep cool even in the heat, tell us their own story. For most tourists coming to Dubai, camel racing is an absolutely unforgettable event - the favorite pastime of the Arabs. Of course, a visit to the ethnographic Arab settlement, which recreates the life of the Bedouins, and a walk along the bay on a Dow (Arab boat), and the famous fish and gold bazaar will certainly be remembered. Tired of the bustle and bad weather, compatriots will find something to their taste in Dubai. Just as important is the role of Dubai as a venue for exhibitions and international conferences.
In Abu Dhabi tourists travel primarily for its wonderful beaches and clear blue waters of the Persian Gulf. And so that vacationers do not get bored during the time free from enjoying the beaches, there are many restaurants, nightclubs and sports clubs. There are 90 fountains in Abu Dhabi, including the most famous - "Coffee Pot", "Swan", "Volcano", "Pearl", having original architecture, located on the Kornichi embankment, 10 km long. Unfortunately, not much has been preserved from the past of Abu Dhabi. It is worth noting the Bedouin camp, where life is recreated with great realism. Sometimes live exhibitions are held here, when visitors can taste traditional Bedouin food, look at the art of riding horses or camels.
The old Al-Husn fort is very interesting, the first written mention of which dates back to 1793. You should definitely visit the Liwa oasis. It is located at a distance of about 100 km from the coast inland. This is a very beautiful and unique sight when huge sand dunes rise to 100 m.
