Cruising in the UAE and Oman is much more economically advantageous than staying in a hotel, as very often the liner is a few days in the port of Dubai or Abu Dhabi and serves as a floating hotel 5 * with a system of food and entertainment “All Inclusive”, which allows, living on the liner, to visit the beaches, tourist attractions, shopping centres in Dubai or other cities.

Aqaba (Jordan) offers excursions to the famous Petra, an ancient city with colossal buildings carved right into the rocks. Aqaba is also a magnificent resort on the Red Sea. The Heritage Village in Fujairah, UAE, will be curious to see traditional Ayala dances and learn about ancient Arabic handicrafts.

When to go on a cruise to the countries of this region


The climate of the Gulf countries is mild, sunny with high temperatures in summer and moderate winters. Cruise companies start the cruise season in this region from November. The best time to cruise the Gulf is from November to March. During these months, the Gulf countries are no longer as hot as in the summer months and are warm enough for swimming and relaxing on the beaches. The largest number of inexpensive tours of varying duration cruise companies offer in December-January: this option, as well as cruises in Southeast Asia, is considered an excellent choice to escape from the winter in the summer. By the way, beach holidays in the Persian Gulf countries will be quite comfortable and in the winter months, and for sightseeing is generally the most suitable time.

In cruises from the Arab Emirates on the Persian Gulf in November and April you can go only on the liners of luxury and premium cruise companies – these cruises are somewhat more expensive, but offer significantly more interesting routes, for example, cruises from the Emirates to Singapore.

It is also interesting to go on a cruise to the Gulf countries on New Year or Christmas. New Year cruises to this region are some of the most popular itineraries, including the UAE, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain.
