THE BEST OF
GATEWAY TO THE MUSANDAM A tiny enclave of Oman surrounded on land by UAE territory, the Musandam Peninsula juts into the narrow strait that separates the Persian and Oman guifs. Here the red-rock Hajar mountains meet the clear blue sea in dramatic fashion, forming an intricate series of fjords i<nown as khors. The sheer cliffs, imposing headlands, inlets, lagoons and bays that are home t o dolphins, birds and other wildlife are the region's primary attractions. Three tribes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dahoori, Kumzari and the largest group, the Shehi â&#x20AC;&#x201D; long lived in isolation in small fishing and mountain villages of the remote peninsula. In the 17th centu.ry, the Portuguese built a fort on the protected natural harbor of what is now the smail but lively port of Khasab, the main base for exploring the Musandam. In addition to boat trips into the khors, many visitors take excursions into the rugged mountains, the tallest of Vv'hich, Jebei Harim, stands more than 2,000 meters high.
USEFUL WORDS & PHRASES
L O C A L C U I S I N E & DRINKS
The official language is Arabic,
A developing tourism destination, Khasab has fewer than a dozen restaurants which serve Omani and Indian specialties. Hotels welcome day visitors to their venues, and those on the hillsides outside the town center often have beautiful views of the bay. Stop in the t o w n supermarkets for bottled v^ater, cold drinks and an ice cream to beat the heat. Some markets may also carry fresh dates, a local staple. Tea is typically black and coffee served Omani-style, scented with aromatic cardamom.

F U N FACTS •
Although often compared to the fjords of Norway, the dramatic iand-seascapes of the Musandam Peninsula were not formed by glacier activity. Here mountain valleys have flooded as the Arabian tectonic plate has pushed under the Eurasian plate. This movement is ongoing and as a result, the peninsula is slowly sinking. For centuries only reachable by sea, this remote corner of the Arabian Peninsula long had close connections with Persia. At the narrowest point of the Strait of Hormuz, just 29 nautical miles (54 kilometers) separate the Musandam from modernday Iran.
•
The bait a! qufi (house of the lock) is unique to the Musandam, Built as secure storage, the thick stone walls and single door were designed to protect the effects of the owners who would leave during the summer months for fishing expeditions and other seasonal work.

CRUISE COMPASS Wednesday, February 8, 2017 Muscat, Oman
Vision of the Seas®
DAY 3
MUSCAT, THE BEST-KEPT SECRET IN THE MIDDLE EAST
TODAY'S FORECAST
The blue minaret and dome of Muscat's most famous mosque may dominate the skyline, but there are several architectural marvels in town. The Corniche is lined with gold-topped cupolas, and Al Alam Palace is a modern must-see wonder. As one of the oldest cities in the Middle East, it's hard to believe that this capital city of Oman was only recently opened for tourism. But no matter how fast Muscat grows, the city is set on preserving its rich history and intimate feel. From the manicured parks and unspoiled beaches to the stone moat that still surrounds the area, Muscat is a vision in and of itself. The best views in town are from the mountainside forts of Al Jalali and Al Mirani. Once used as a prison during Portuguese occupation, the forts have since been converted into a museum. The Muttrah Souk, Muscat's oldest market, is a labyrinth of merchant stalls offering wonderfully unique items. Muscat is also a virtually untapped divers' paradise, with stunning coral reefs not far from the shore. Or you can always admire the coastal scenery onboard a tradition wooden dhow. BACK ONBOARD 1.

You'll see some of these activities during your cruise vacation.

THE BEST OF
OLD-FASHIONED CHARM IN THE CAPITAL Set between Africa and Asia, Muscat had historically been a leading center of Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean trade. In the 16th century, Portugal occupied this strategic port, holding it for more than 100 years. After expelling the Portuguese in 1650, Oman emerged as an empire in its own right and the Al Said was the ruling dynasty. Yet well into the 20th century, tensions persisted between the coastal region and the inland tribes. A new era began in 1970 when Qaboos bin Said Al Said overthrew his father in a bloodless coup. Using Oman's oil wealth, the new sultan financed roads, schools and hospitals. and moved his court from the southern city of Salalah to Muscat. Today Muscat is a modern Gulf capital carefully preserving its past. The original walled town, Old Muscat is home to the sultan's palace and heritage architecture that includes Portuguese-era forts. Muttrah, the old port and commercial area, remains atmospheric, particularly in its bustling souk. A scenic waterfront corniche connects these historic quarters. Contemporary landmarks like the gleaming Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque — open to non-Muslims — and the elegant Royal Opera House Muscat are found in newer districts, their design inspired by Arabic traditions. From the capital, you can experience the beauty of the dramatic coast by boat or head into Oman's rugged mountains to explore medieval towns and oases.

Vision of the Seas® EXPERIENCE THE TRADITIONAL AND MODERN SIDE OF ABU DHABI It's hard to imagine that just fifty years ago, Abu Dhabi was a small fishing and pearling village. For centuries, the T-shaped island in the Persian Gulf led a relatively quiet existence. With the discovery of oil, the capital of the UAE was quickly transformed into a thriving modern metropolis, luring investors and tourists alike. Yet despite its newfound wealth and rapid development, the city has never forgotten its cultural roots. Amid futuristic skyscrapers and ultra-luxury hotels, Abu Dhabi's many museums and mosques pay homage to the region's rich heritage and long history. For a glimpse into the not-so-distant past, visit the Heritage Center where you'll see a reconstruction of mud-brick houses, bazaars and the traditional desert encampments of the nomadic Bedouins. The Qasr al-Hosn, a watchtower that became the royal palace is another interesting historical landmark worth visiting. Extreme adventurers will enjoy the thrill of the off-road driving experience, known as wadi bashing; or skiing the massive sand dunes of the Liwa Oasis. And the famous Al Meena Souk is a must for scoring unique items like an authentic antique carpet. 1. Bonus Lightning Art Auction You asked for it and you got it!

CAPITAL OF THE EMIRATE According to legend, Abu Dhabi â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the "Land of the Gazelle" in Arabic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was founded when a young antelope led a wandering tribe to fresh water on an island. Once a simple settlement of barasti (palm) huts, coral buildings and a ruler's fort, it was more village than city until the discovery of oil. In the years since, Abu Dhabi has rapidly become a modern metropolis of high rises, upscale malls, and high-end hotels that inevitably draw comparisons to Dubai. Less glitzy and more traditional than its neighbor, it also serves as the capital of the UAE, of which it is the largest and wealthiest. The city is built on islands and its Corniche, an 8-kilometer waterfront stretch of pathways, recreational areas, cafes, restaurants and beaches, is among the most popular areas. Tourism-oriented Yas Island features attractions like the Ferrari World theme park, while Saadiyat Island includes an emerging cultural district. New buildings continue to reshape the skyline, yet the leading landmark remains the magnificent Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, a gleaming symbol of Abu Dhabi. Discover other aspects of the emirate on excursions into the desert or to the ancient oasis city of Al Ain. USEFUL WORDS & PHRASES
LOCAL CUISINE & DRINKS
The official language is Arabic.
Abu Dhabi's culinary offerings reflect its long history of trade and its diverse population. Rice, often prepared with nuts and saffron, and seasonings like cinnamon, turmeric, limes and dried fruit are typical of traditional recipes. Popular dishes are al harees, meat and wheat slow-cooked in a clay pot and served with ghee (clarified butter), and al majboos, seasoned meat boiled in water. Fish is a mainstay on the coast. Other Arab-Middle Eastern fare is widely available, from simple shawarma shops to elegant Lebanesestyle restaurants, as is South Asian cooking. As they have in Dubai, famed international restaurants and chefs have opened their doors, with top-notch options for French, Italian, Chinese and other cuisines. The sale of alcohol is regulated but wine, beer and cocktails are usually available at bars and restaurants within finer hotels.

FUN FACTS •
Falconry is a longstanding desert sport. The Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital was the first public institution in the UAE to care exclusively for falcons, drawing patients from around the Gulf region. Its veterinary staff examines and treats more than 11,000 birds every year.
•
The landmark Capital Gate tower is nicknamed the Leaning Tower of Abu Dhabi. The 35-story building was built at an angle of 18 degrees, far greater than the famous tower of Pisa, whose flawed foundation caused its tilt of 4 degrees.

Vision of the Seas® HAVE A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME ADVENTURE IN DUBAI You'll find no shortage of things to do. In this town, the "sevenstar" hotels and glittering shopping malls are as much a part of the attraction. Where else in the world can you find a mall with an indoor ski slope, or a dinosaur park? Just as imaginative are the city's man-made islands. Hop on a speed boat for a closer look. And if haven't made it to the Bastakia district, check out the quieter, more traditional side of Dubai. Shopping anyone? There is nothing you can't find in Dubai. Everything is for sale and depending on what you're looking for, you can score some unbelievable bargains. Need a new digital camera? Al Fahidi Street is where you'll find the latest brands in electronics at duty-free and tax-free prices. A visit to the Gold Souk is a must if you're looking for a fine piece of jewelry. (Don't forget to bargain!) And for the hottest fashions, head to the Bur Dubai area or any of the shopping malls. 1.

THE bt$1
DUBM, UAE
ULTRA-MODERN METROPOLIS OF THE GULF The city of Dubai dates back only to 1833, when members of the Bani Yes tribe settled around the mouth of Dubai Creek. Once a modest center for fishing, pearling and sea trade, it has been dramatically remade in the last two decades. Twenty-first-century Dubai is behind only Hong Kong and New York in its number of skyscrapers, many of which are global landmarks of architecture, design and engineering. It is the Middle East's hub for finance, real estate, and tourism, renowned for sumptuous hotels and resorts, luxury shopping, world-class dining and entertainment, and an eclectic array of attractions that ranae from an aquarium to an indoor ski slope. But Dubai is not all glitz and glamour, with heritage districts like Bar Dubai, the city's oldest, and the traditional commercial quarter of Deira. Or discover its Bedouin roots at museums, cruises aboard a traditional dhow, and excursions into the desert.
