El descubrimiento de petróleo en 1958 transformó este páramo rural en una moderna metrópolis con el ingreso per cápita más alto del mundo. Hoy, Abu Dhabi cuenta con extraordinarios rascacielos, centros comerciales, hoteles de primer nivel, bulevares rodeados de árboles y pintorescos jardines, y a la vez mantiene la sutil mística árabe. Navegue por las aguas del hermoso golfo y conozca las numerosas islas que rodean la ciudad en un tradicional dhow; recorra Heritage Village, un museo viviente donde los artesanos realizan sus trabajos tradicionales o compre oro y joyas beduinas de plata en el área central de zocos.

POST - DESERT DELIGHTS - 2024 CODE: ABUL07
Explore the unexpected charms of the Empty Quarter, the world’s largest sand desert, through Desert walks, a falconry show and Bedouin-style dining – an intriguing contrast to time spent in Abu Dhabi.
This program begins and ends in Abu Dhabi and departure flights should be booked out of the Abu Dhabi International Airport. Guests flying out of Dubai will be required to pay a surcharge for the transfer.
DÍA 1
Disembark from the ship at in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates, which was named after a breed of gazelles by a Sheikh of the Bani Yas tribe. It was founded in 1761 on a small peninsula surrounded by a cluster of islands.
Your tour today offers an excellent introduction to Abu Dhabi with your first stop being a visit to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the first universal museum in the Arab world. This museum both ancient and contemporary works of historical, cultural and sociological interest from around the world. Virtually surrounded by the sea, the dozens of buildings that comprise the museum are linked by waterfront promenades and by the museum’s most arresting feature – its dome. As sunlight filters through the dome’s perforations, it creates a “rain of light” effect in the museum galleries below.
Following your enlightening visit at the museum, you will stop at the magnificent Grand Mosque of Abu Dhabi. La majestuosa mezquita Sheikh Zayed en honor al Zayed Bin Sultán Al Nahayan es probablemente la atracción religiosa y nacional más imponente hasta la fecha. It is also arguably one of the most important architectural treasures of contemporary UAE society. The late president HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who is fondly thought of as the father of UAE, initiated its creation.
Lunch will then be served at the Rosewood Hotel before driving to the Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara, a journey that will take about 2.5 hours. This luxurious resort is located on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi in the world’s largest sand desert – the Empty Quarter. After check-in, the remainder of the day will be at leisure with dinner on your own.
Aviso: The Grand Mosque does not provide women a headscarf or abaya free of charge and there is no shop on site to buy one. Women must wear a head covering of some type or entrance to the mosque will be denied. For men and women: wearing transparent clothing, shorts, skirts, sleeveless shirts, clothing with profanity and tight clothing including leggings or beachwear is prohibited.
Día 2
Following breakfast at the resort, you will explore the desert through a variety of spectacular adventures. The on-site activities team will let you know the times that these desert outings are available and make arrangements for you to participate when it’s most convenient for you.
Sunrise and sunset are the best times to book a guided desert walk through the Rub’ Al Khali, which is nicknamed the Empty Quarter as it is such as spacious sand desert. Along the way, the guide will elaborate on the area’s history, heritage and flora and fauna that have adapted beautifully to the arid conditions. The activity may be tailored to suit different fitness levels. You may also opt for a night walk in the moonlight, an experience often described as mystical. The choice is entirely yours – simply set it up with resort’s activity team.
Another popular activity is watching falcons and Saluki dogs demonstrate their prodigious hunting skills. During the live performance of these iconic Arabian animals, you will hear engaging stories about how the falcons and Saluki are bred, trained and cared for.
Today, lunch and dinner are on your own, allowing you to dine whenever you choose.
Día 3
Enjoy breakfast at the resort and then the day is yours to explore at your leisure. The resort’s activities team can provide you with a list of other optional activities in which you may wish to participate. Some of the options will be at an additional expense.
Although lunch will be on your own, dinner will be served under the stars at Al Falaj, the resort’s Bedouin-style outdoor restaurant.
Día 4

PRE - RETREAT TO AN ISLAND PARADISE - 2024 CODE: ABUL05
Following your long journey to the Emirates, take the time to relax in an elegant waterfront resort on one of Abu Dhabi’s most exclusive islands. Explore the must-see highlights in the inviting capital of the United Arab Emirates including High Tea at the Emirates Palace Hotel. This exclusive program is limited to a small group not to exceed 10 guests.
Aviso: this program begins and ends in Abu Dhabi. Guests will need to fly into the Abu Dhabi International Airport.
Día 1
After flying into the Abu Dhabi International Airport, you will be met outside the customs and immigration area for a half-hour transfer to Saadiyat Island. After a 10-minute boat ride across the pristine waters of the Arabian Gulf, you will arrive at the resort Nurai Island. This waterfront sanctuary features a wealth of magnificent amenities for you to enjoy.
You will stay in a one-bedroom Beach Villa that is the height of elegance. It offers a loft-style living room, freestanding bathtub, walk-in rainfall shower, outdoor lounge with a private dining area and an infinity-edge pool. The bed is king size, although twin beds are available upon request.
Check-in is 3:00pm. Although every effort will be made to have your room available sooner, this cannot be guaranteed. If your flight arrives very early in the morning, you may wish to book an additional night.
Día 2
Enjoy breakfast at the resort before setting out for Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, which you will reach by ferry. Named after a breed of gazelles, Abu Dhabi was founded in 1761 on a small peninsula that overlooks a cluster of beautiful islands.
Your first stop will be the magnificent Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque of Abu Dhabi, a modern treasure and iconic national landmark. It is named in honor of the former president and founding father of the UAE.
Ladies must cover their heads to enter the mosque. Entrance will be denied for guests wearing shorts, skirts, sleeveless shirts, beachwear and tight-fitting clothing such as leggings.
The mosque’s architects were Emirati, British and Italian and their resulting design reflects various architectural styles. One of the world’s largest mosques, the Grand Mosque can accommodate 40,000 worshippers. Inside, you will see the world’s largest chandelier and carpet, both meticulously handmade. The mosque is also revered for its reflective pools and onion-top domes.
Continuing on, you will next visit Heritage Village. Its small but enlightening museum depicts the daily activities of the Arab community prior to the discovery of oil.
You will then enjoy a panoramic drive along the spectacular Corniche and palace area. Abu Dhabi is often referred to as the “Manhattan of the Gulf” for its profusion of ultra-modern skyscrapers, gleaming white mosques and elegant high-rise apartments. From the tip of the breakwater, you will be treated to a superb view of the skyline before continuing on to the Emirates Palace, the most prestigious hotel in the Emirates.
Here, in the regal Le Café, you will indulge in a classic high tea includes a sumptuous medley of seafood, chicken and vegetarian canapes with truffles and other exclusive ingredients. An inspired selection of handmade pastries, fresh herbal infusions and juices will complement the experience.
Afterwards, you will ride the ferry back to Nurai Island, where the remainder of the day and evening will be at your leisure at the resort with dinner on your own.
Día 3
Following breakfast at the resort, you will spend the remainder of the day enjoying its amenities as you see fit. Possibilities include yoga, Pilates, a cooking class, working out, lounging in the library, watching a movie in the outdoor cinema and playing games such as tennis, table tennis, badminton and pool.
El almuerzo y la cena correrán por su cuenta.
Día 4
Following breakfast and check-out at the resort, you will ride the ferry to the mainland and transfer to the Louvre Abu Dhabi – the first universal museum in the Arab world. This museum brings the Louvre name to Abu Dhabi and presents both ancient and contemporary works of historic, cultural, and sociological interest from around the world. Virtually surrounded by the sea, the dozens of buildings that comprise the museum are linked by waterfront promenades and by the museum’s most arresting feature – its dome. As sunlight filters through the dome’s perforations, it creates a “rain of light” effect in the museum galleries below.
Your program concludes with a transfer to the port of Abu Dhabi where you will embark your ship.

POST - EMIRATES IMMERSION - 2024 CODE: ABUL09
Experience urban life in Abu Dhabi before retreating to a luxurious desert resort, from which you can indulge in classic desert activities and spend time in an Emirati private home for a cultural immersion.
This program begins and ends in Abu Dhabi and departure flights should be booked out of the Abu Dhabi International Airport. Guests flying out of Dubai will be required to pay a surcharge for the
transfer.
DÍA 1
Disembark from the ship at in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates, which was named after a breed of gazelles by a Sheikh of the Bani Yas tribe. It was founded in 1761 on a small peninsula surrounded by a cluster of islands.
Your tour today offers an excellent introduction to Abu Dhabi with your first stop being a visit to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the first universal museum in the Arab world. This museum both ancient and contemporary works of historical, cultural and sociological interest from around the world. Virtually surrounded by the sea, the dozens of buildings that comprise the museum are linked by waterfront promenades and by the museum’s most arresting feature – its dome. As sunlight filters through the dome’s perforations, it creates a “rain of light” effect in the museum galleries below.
Following your enlightening visit at the museum, you will stop at the magnificent Grand Mosque of Abu Dhabi. La majestuosa mezquita Sheikh Zayed en honor al Zayed Bin Sultán Al Nahayan es probablemente la atracción religiosa y nacional más imponente hasta la fecha. It is also arguably one of the most important architectural treasures of contemporary UAE society. The late president HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who is fondly thought of as the father of UAE, initiated its creation.
Lunch will then be served at the Rosewood Hotel before driving to Al Wathba, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, Abu Dhabi. Following check-in at this serene, classically designed hotel, the remainder of the day is at leisure with dinner on your own.
Aviso: The Grand Mosque does not provide women a headscarf or abaya free of charge and there is no shop on site to buy one. Women must wear a head covering of some type or entrance to the mosque will be denied. For men and women: wearing transparent clothing, shorts, skirts, sleeveless shirts, clothing with profanity and tight clothing including leggings or beachwear is prohibited.
Día 2
After breakfast at the resort, you will be free to spend the day as you please or participate in the included activities:
You will have the opportunity to take a guided desert walk at sunrise or sunset, during which the guide will regale you with stories about desert life. At the end of the walk, traditional Arabic coffee will be served.
You can also watch falcons perform and show their prodigious skills as hunters. Falcons are a cultural symbol of the United Arab Emirates and have long played vital roles in the lives of Bedouins.
Aviso:
The timings for the above tours will be relayed in your Welcome Letter or by the team at the resort.
Today, lunch and dinner are on your own, allowing you to dine when most convenient for you.
Día 3
After breakfast at the resort, you will meet the guide and proceed to Masdar City, one of the world's most sustainable urban communities. There, you will see a sustainability project and discuss topics related to eco-friendly design, water and energy consumption, livelihood, innovation and sustainability.
You will also experience a ride in a driverless electric car, explore advanced technology and gain an understanding of how the city’s ancient Arab architecture was well-suited to the environment.
Next, you will visit the Emirati home of Um Yousef, a mother who has shared her passion for collecting unique items and cultural artifacts with her husband, Abu Yousef. The collection initially began with Abu gathering antique items from family members, friends and acquaintances. Many of the objects turned out to be rare novelties, and the couple’s vision for a private museum was born.
Through the museum, the couple shares their interest in the Emirati culture and cuisine. After viewing the exhibits, you will retreat to an outdoor tented area and enjoy a home-cooked meal.
Following this enlightening encounter, you will return to the resort. The remainder of the day and evening will be at leisure with dinner on your own.
Día 4
