Ab Dubai bietet Ihnen PONANT eine 9-tägige Kreuzfahrt zwischen dem Persischen Golf und dem Golf von Oman. Begeben Sie sich an Bord der Le Bougainville und entdecken Sie die Schätze der Wüste der arabischen Halbinsel.
Die Le Bougainville legt für den Silvesterabend in Dubai an. Sie haben Gelegenheit, das Emirat wie nie zuvor zu erleben und seine hochmoderne Architektur sowie sein rauschendes Nachtleben zu genießen.
Sie machen Halt im Wildschutzgebiet der Insel Sir Bani Yas, einem naturbelassenen Gebiet mit einem einzigartigen Ökosystem, bevor es weitergeht nach Abu Dhabi, der expansiven Hauptstadt der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate. Sie können diesen Tag nutzen, um das fantastische neue Museum Louvre Abu Dhabi und die Große Moschee, eine der bedeutendsten Moscheen der Welt, zu besuchen.
Dann legt die Le Bougainville in Doha in Katar fahren. Zwischen Tradition und Moderne entdecken Sie neben den jüngsten Wolkenkratzern ein prächtiges Museum mit den Schätzen der islamischen Kunst und die schillernden Farben des Souk Waqif in der quirligen Altstadt.
Dann legt die Le Bougainville in Khasab an, dem Tor zum prachtvollen „Fjordparadies Arabiens“, das Sie an Bord eines traditionellen Bootes erkunden können, bevor Sie in den Golf von Oman fahren.
Das Emirat Fudschaira erstreckt sich zwischen dem persischen Golf, grünen Bergen und fruchtbaren Ebenen. Die Stadt bietet die Möglichkeit, Ausflüge in die umliegenden Berge zu unternehmen und zahlreiche Architekturstätten zu entdecken, wie beispielsweise das 1670 erbaute Fort von Fudschaira oder die Al Badiyah Moschee, die älteste der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate.
Am Ende Ihrer Kreuzfahrt haben Sie die einmalige Gelegenheit, Ihren Ausschiffungshafen Maskat und die Große Sultan-Qabus-Moschee zu besuchen, schön wie ein Märchenpalast aus 1001 Nacht.

In der Nähe der Quais, wo die dhows (für die Region typische Segelboote) vertäut sind, zeichnet sich die Silhouette des Museums für Islamische Kunst ab.

Ausschiffung 29.12.2022 um 07:00
Im Gegensatz zu den benachbarten Metropolen hat sich die Hauptstadt des Sultanats Oman gegen Türme und Wolkenkratzer und für den traditionellen, raffinierten Architekturstil der Halbinsel entschieden: niedrige Häuser, Kuppeln, Maschrabiyya-Gitterfenster, Holzbalkone. Diese Authentizität macht den Charme der kleinen Fischerstadt Maskat aus, die von Bergen umgeben und von Festungen geschützt wird, die im 16. Jahrhundert von den Portugiesen errichtet wurden.
