Dubai, whose name can be translated into English as "The Meeting Place", is one of the emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the Persian Gulf. It is the most populous and second largest emirate in the UAE, after the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The ruler of Dubai is Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who is the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE (the head of state is the Emir of Abu Dhabi). The capital of the emirate is the city of Dubai. The largest part of the emirate is occupied by the desert. The emirate is not subdivided into any lower administrative units, but since 1954 the emirate has had an institution called "Dubai Municipality", which is in charge of the emirate's day-to-day affairs, such as health, environment and urban planning.

This modern port, cultural and commercial centre is also the capital of the tiny Arab state of Qatar. Thanks to its airport and advanced telecommunications, this metropolis is also perfectly connected to the outside world. The city was founded in 1825 under the name of Al-Bidha, the name Doha itself is derived from the Arabic ad-dawha, which means "big tree". Doha was named the capital of the British Protectorate in 1916. Doha also offers a number of places to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, whether it's the seaside promenade of The Corniche or Aspire Park. Shopping enthusiasts will be enchanted by the traditional Souq Waqif market, as well as modern shopping malls where you can pick up everything you can think of, from clothing and arts and crafts to exotic spices and delicious local specialities. The city's famous Muslim mosques are a landmark. In the very centre of Doha, you'll find the Al-Kout Fortress, built in 1880. The fort was completely renovated in 1978 and now serves as a showplace for traditional handicrafts.

Bahrain is the smallest country in the Gulf region. Its closest neighbours are Saudi Arabia to the west and Qatar to the southeast. The state consists of the main island of the same name and 32 smaller islands, including an adjacent sea area. The main island of the archipelagic state of Bahrain was separated from the Arabian Peninsula around 6000 BC. The people of Bahrain take great pride in the fact that they were one of the first areas within mainland Arabia to embrace Islam. This was done quite peacefully. In June 1932, a large amount of oil was discovered in Bahrain. As Bahrain was the first Gulf state to discover oil, it was also the first to enjoy the benefits that came along with the revenues - this was reflected in improved education and healthcare. Bahrain is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Middle East. About 2 million foreign tourists visit annually, mostly from the Arab states along the Arabian Gulf.

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates and the capital of the emirate of the same name. The city has a population of 1,500,000 and has a chequered past, including a period when it was a haven for pirates. Since the 1960s, the city has undergone a dizzying transformation into a modern centre with wide boulevards and tall buildings. Little of the old town remains today, with the exception of the Old Palace, which represents one of the oldest buildings built above the spring. Abu Dhabi has hosted the Red Bull Air Race, an international aerobatic competition. The Grand Mosque of Sheikh Zayed - its architecture was derived from the Moroccan mosque in Casablanca, it is one of the largest in the Islamic world. It covers an area of 22,412 square metres and can accommodate 41,000 worshippers; women are only allowed to enter wearing long garments covering the head (hair), arms and legs.

We anchor on a natural island about 170 km from Abu Dhabi. The island is the largest nature reserve in Arabia. Thanks to conservation and ecological investments, it has become home to thousands of wild animals and several million plants and trees. The reserve was established in 1977 by Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan. A visit to this place will be an amazing experience especially for nature, fauna and flora lovers.
