Day 5

Day Four
Abu Dhabi - The United Arab Emirates is certainly one of the richest countries in the world. Oil has made the fortune of this sovereign state, independent since 1971 and composed of seven emirates: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Qaiwain, Ras al-Khaimah and Fujairah. The union is governed by a Supreme Council formed by the seven emirs, each of whom is sovereign in his own territory. Well worth a visit is the Al Hosn Palace, known as the Old Fort, fish market and the old souk.

Day 6

Day Five
Fujairah - The city itself boasts a museum that houses archaeological and ethnographic exhibitions, an almost spooky old quarter and a 300-year-old fort. You will also find time to do some shopping: typical local crafts include gold and silver jewellery, carpets and fabrics. In the bazaars you will find Western products such as hi-fis, computers and cameras at very competitive prices.

Day 7

Day Six
Muscat - Muscat is the capital of Oman and one of the oldest cities in the Middle East, dating back to the 2nd century.
