A Journey from Shimmering Skylines to the Gulf's Hidden Gems
Immerse yourself in an alluring Arabian Gulf adventure. From vibrant Dubai, we embark on a journey to explore mesmerising new destinations, starting with Abu Dhabi, home of ancient culture and dramatic sandscapes, and onwards to Manama, where historic charm meets modern elegance. In Doha, uncover cultural treasures before drifting to Dammam’s scenic coastline. Enjoy a day at sea to relax and embrace the Ocean State of Mind, then return to the iconic skyline and world-class shopping of Dubai.
Day 1 Supersized Dubai
Seek out a sun-soaked city of luxurious excess, thrilling innovation and impressive landmarks. So cosmopolitan it hurts. Ski through snow, watch choreographed waterworks, listen to ship-shape opera, behold another Lamborghini, sail an abra and gasp at the floral universe. Delve into Old Dubai’s forgotten past, get the picture at the lofty Dubai Frame and head downtown to the iconic Burj Khalifa and uber-extravagant Mall. Rotate on the cosmical wheel and fine dine in the sky. Like a shimmering mirage, Dubai’s diversity lights up Arabian skies with its ability to evolve and astound.
Day 2 Supersized Dubai
Seek out a sun-soaked city of luxurious excess, thrilling innovation and impressive landmarks. So cosmopolitan it hurts. Ski through snow, watch choreographed waterworks, listen to ship-shape opera, behold another Lamborghini, sail an abra and gasp at the floral universe. Delve into Old Dubai’s forgotten past, get the picture at the lofty Dubai Frame and head downtown to the iconic Burj Khalifa and uber-extravagant Mall. Rotate on the cosmical wheel and fine dine in the sky. Like a shimmering mirage, Dubai’s diversity lights up Arabian skies with its ability to evolve and astound.
Day 3 Middle Eastern Promise in Abu Dhabi
Frolic in a beguiling modern playground, twinkling with ancient cultural colossus, art and sun-baked sandscapes. Attend enthralling events and cool workshops on Saadiyat Island, jet ski over sparkling seas and journey through impressive collections at the Louvre. Take a desert safari; sandboard, burn up dunes on a quad or live the Liwa culture. Learn Bedouin tribe traditions and watch camels race. Try Emirati cookery, beckon falconry, shoot archery and paddle through peaceful mangrove forests to glimpse indigenous wildlife. Make travelling tales a reality in a region where nothing is beyond reach.
Day 4 Modern Manama in Ancient Arabia
The winds of change have swept across the Kingdom of Bahrain, turning a sleepy fishing port into a bustling metropolis. Strut your stuff in Manama’s luxury malls, poised between the steel canyons and glass gorges of the financial district. Seek soulful moments below the sky-scraping minarets of elegant mosques and the cobbled streets of ancient souqs. Solitary trees stud the desert to the south, where camel treks and 4x4 safaris delve into parched dunes and high-octane adventures await at Bahrain International Circuit. Heed the call of fine fare and warm sands at elegant beach clubs or sail in search of pearls in the warm waters of the Arabian Gulf and the desert reserves of pristine islands.
Day 5 Pearlescent Doha
Delve into a progressive Qatari capital where age-old souks meet sparkling city skyscrapers. Discover how the hallmarks of glamour have replaced pearl diving with a peek around The Pearl and Lusail for pricey real estate and haute couture. Acquire added luxury with a float around the mall or at Banana Island. Delve into one of Doha’s biggest draws at I.M. Pei’s designer gem - The Museum of Islamic Art. Consume insane cuisine, drop into mind-blowing mosques, dune surf with a Persian Gulf backdrop and play Qatar Master standard golf. Friendly Doha delivers an intriguing mix of wonders with ancient traditions.
Day 6 Persian Gulf Immersion
On the shores of the Persian Gulf, the capital of Saudi Arabia’s eastern province may be strikingly modern, but seek pockets of tradition in the spice and incense-filled alleyways of the Souq al Hob (or Love Market) and discover Dammam history at the museum, filled with artefacts from local excavations, and on Tarut Island, where the historic fortress was built around the remains of a Phoenician temple. As the desert climate cools at dusk, join the locals as they stroll the cafes and parks on Murjan Island, along the Corniche and in King Abdullah Park, its fountains, extravagant flowerbeds and waterfront walkways the hub of this bustling oil boomtown.
Day 7 At Sea
With more time to reflect, rejuvenate, and embrace the Ocean State of Mind, days at sea with Explora Journeys invite moments of unhurried exploration. Against a backdrop of endless blue, indulge in a varied programme of wellness, dining and entertainment, enriching the mind and indulging the senses, designed to satisfy even the most curious of minds. These moments at sea offer a rare chance to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself and your loved ones. With so many onboard experiences, each day at sea is unique and memorable.
Day 8 Supersized Dubai

Ski through snow, watch choreographed waterworks, listen to ship-shape opera, behold another Lamborghini, sail an abra and gasp at the floral universe. Delve into Old Dubai’s forgotten past, get the picture at the lofty Dubai Frame and head downtown to the iconic Burj Khalifa and uber-extravagant Mall.
