Red Sea & Persian Gulf

For a long time the Persian Gulf and Red Sea have been two natural centres of maritime trade; a mandatory passage for caravan routes between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean via the legendary Suez Canal. Journey to Egypt, a land steeped in history to the mythical heights of Mount Sinai and the vast open desert which ends abruptly in the underwater haven of the Red Sea. Another world, different colours; this time those of the rose pink dunes in the United Arab Emirates with its remote valleys and perched villages, like the eagle nests along the pearls of the Sultanate of Oman, a land of ancestral traditions. At a crossroads of the Great Civilisations, from the Red Sea to Roman Mediterranean and the Sultanate countries, this is a wonderful voyage through the ages.
