One place cannot be missing on a cruise to the Orient: Muscat, also known as Muscat in German, the capital of Oman. The Arab Emirates Dubai and Abu Dhabi stand for wealth and splendor, which are culturally and architecturally oriented towards western standards. Muscat, on the other hand, bravely maintains the traditional image of the Orient – and in no less breathtaking way. The Sultanate of Oman owes the stylistic diversity of its cultural treasures, mosques and impressive buildings to its eventful history of Islamic and European influences.

The city of Salalah is one of the most developed cities in Oman. On a cruise, the oriental and historical richness of Salalah will immediately cast its spell over you. While the rest of the country sinks under the scorching heat in the warm months, the region around Salalah is transformed into a breathtaking landscape. Ponds burst their banks, springs gush out of the mountain slopes and filled rivers meander through the city. In addition, the coast with its kilometer-long white powdered sugar beaches conveys an almost Caribbean flair.

Haifa is one of the largest cities in Israel and is located in a small bay in the eastern Mediterranean.

Haifa is also impressive in terms of landscape: the land side of Haifa Bay is bordered by the Carmel Mountains. Its mountain ranges form a wonderful contrast to the wide sea. The delightful alternation between lakes, plains, hills and the Mediterranean is typical of the landscape of Israel.
