Embark on the Crystal Esprit at the beautiful Dubai port.
Home to the world’s biggest shopping mall, tallest skyscraper, and dozens of ultra-glamorous luxury hotels, Dubai is truly a modern wonder. After exploring the new sites of the city, find yourself amongst traditional winding souks and local charm.
Today, cruise the Strait of Hormuz and reach Khasab.
Khasab, a city within the Sultanate of Oman, is an increasingly popular tourist with tourists. Dhow cruises showcase the inspiring scenery, calm waters are ideal for diving, and dolphins are often spotted frolicking in the sea. Stunning landscapes, high mountain peaks, a picturesque coastal route and stretches of unspoiled beaches highlight the region, while manmade wonders include an old fort that dominates the harbor which, recently restored, contains examples of traditional Omani watercraft.
Ringed by volcanic mountains and guarded by two Portuguese forts, Muscat is a picturesque blend of Arab, Indian, African and European styles, thanks to the ordinance that traditional architecture must take precedence over high-rise buildings.
Doha is a major cultural and political hub of the Persian Gulf and is constantly growing. Thousands of expatriates have moved to Qatar to become a part of its development and thriving economy. One of Doha’s most impressive projects is the Pearl, an artificial island that covers 985 acres.
Picture an African safari with game drives, nature walks, mountain biking, land sailing archery, horse riding, and exclusive outdoor dining experiences, only it’s on the Arabian Peninsula. Bani Yas Island is home to the Arabian Wildlife Park, a reserve for thousands of free-roaming wild animals.
Home to the world’s biggest shopping mall, tallest skyscraper, and dozens of ultra-glamorous luxury hotels, Dubai is truly a modern wonder. After exploring the new sites of the city, find yourself amongst traditional winding souks and local charm.
Abu Dhabi is a bustling city with extraordinary skyscrapers, wide, tree-lined boulevards, and some of the most elite cultural destinations. This city is considered the wealthiest city in the world, but still retains a humble charm with its central souk and artisan hub for traditional crafts.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
