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.
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.

Aviso: Los programas terrestres que incluyen numerosos días en la costa incluyen actividades prolongadas y aquellos de duración más corta ofrecen, en general, actividades más moderadas. Sin embargo, cada programa varía y los huéspedes deben estar preparados para lidiar con distintas superficies, entre ellas, pendientes, adoquines, arena y senderos naturales o de grava. Es posible que haya que subir escaleras o escalones. Se les recomienda a los huéspedes que estén en silla de ruedas o que tengan problemas de movilidad que consulten con la línea de cruceros con anticipación para comprobar si alguna parte del programa de excursión no es apta según su situación particular.
Todos los programas terrestres cuentan con capacidad limitada y están sujetos a disponibilidad. Los programas que no alcanzan la cantidad mínima de participantes requerida están sujetos a cancelación. Los precios publicados también están sujetos a cambios que dependen del aumento de los costos del transporte, de los servicios terrestres o de la fluctuación de la moneda.

Discover on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi, the world’s largest sand desert – the Empty Quarter. Qasr Al Sarab by Anantara rises up from flame-colored dunes like a mirage, inviting adventure in the most luxurious of styles. Explore the Rub’ Al Khali with a guided desert walk, dine under desert skies, marvel
at the UAE’s ancient sport of falconry and Saluki hunting and much more!
Please note that this program begins and ends in Abu Dhabi – arrival flights need to be booked into the Abu Dhabi International Airport. Guests choosing to fly into Dubai will be required to pay a surcharge for the transfer.
DÍA 1
Arrive at the Abu Dhabi International Airport. You will be met outside the Customs area and transferred to the resort. Note that transfer time is approximately 2.5 hours depending on traffic.
Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara is located on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi in the world’s largest sand desert – the Empty Quarter. Traverse the Rub’ al Khali by camelback, dine under desert skies or unwind with hammam and desert rose rituals. You will have enough free time to do it all! Your deluxe garden view room has a garden terrace and an uninterrupted desert valley view.
Check in time is at 3:00pm. Although every effort will be made to have the rooms available sooner, this cannot be guaranteed. Should your flight arrive very early in the morning you may wish to book an additional night.
The remainder of the day is at your leisure and all meals are on your own.
Día 2
Enjoy breakfast at the resort before heading out on a guided desert walk to explore the Rub’ Al Khali. Learn about the area’s history, heritage, flora and fauna along the way. Perfect for all, this activity may be tailored to suit different fitness levels. We recommend booking a desert walk during sunrise or sunset to take advantage of optimum weather conditions and picture-perfect skies. For a truly mystical experience, embark on a walk at night, and watch the moonlight dance on the dunes. The choice is yours – simply set this up with resort’s activity team
Note that sunrise and sunset times may vary throughout the season. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
Marvel at the UAE’s ancient sport of falconry and Saluki hunting. Starring the cultural symbol of the region, falcons, and the country’s long-time hunting companions, the agile Saluki, this live show includes a demonstration of hunting techniques and engaging stories. Please check with the activities team for demonstration times.
El almuerzo y la cena corren por su cuenta.
Día 3
Enjoy breakfast at the resort and then the day is yours to explore at your leisure.
The resort activities team can provide you with a list of other optional activities that you may wish to participate on (additional costs are at your expense).
Lunch is on own.
In the evening gather with the group for an Arabic barbeque dinner at Al Falaj. Food is the focus, but the Bedouin style set-up nods to many Arabic traditions. Its an evening you won’t forget!
Día 4
Enjoy breakfast at the resort and check out.
You will be transferred to the port of Abu Dhabi with a stop at the Louvre en-route - 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.
Following your enlightening visit at the museum, proceed to the port where you will embark the ship.
