Our Writers
Welcome to Oman, UAE &
Arabian Peninsula
The spectacular emptiness of the Arabian landscape
provides a blank canvas upon which is projected a
riot of cultural, religious, intellectual and trading
wonders.

The Desert
In describing his travels with the Bedouin across the Empty Quarter, 20th-
century desert explorer Wilfred Thesiger acknowledged the power of the
desert to leave an imprint on the imagination. This austere allure has
attracted travellers to Arabia for centuries: Ibn Battuta, Marco Polo and TE
Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) are among many famous explorers
beguiled by the beauty and challenge of the barren landscapes. Thankfully,
modern desert-goers no longer need risk life and limb to venture into the
wilderness, as roads and camps make encounters with this inspiring
landscape possible for all.

Urban Landscapes
When asked what they most like about their land of sand dunes, the
Bedouin near Al Hashman in Oman reply that they enjoy coming to town.
Town! This is the Arabia of the 21st century, built on oil and banking –
sophisticated communities looking to the future and creating empires out of
sand, or at least on land reclaimed from the sea. For those looking for a
dynamic urban experience, the Gulf cities are the place to find it. With high
incomes per capita, elegant towers, opulent hotels and eccentric malls, these
cities offer the ‘pleasure domes’ of the modern world.
Legendary Hospitality
The essence of the Arabian Peninsula lies in its people: good-naturedly
haggling in souqs, cursing on long journeys, sharing sweet tea on the edges
of wild places. Unifying all is Islam, a way of life, the call to prayer carried
on an inland breeze, a gentle hospitality extended towards strangers. This is
what many travellers most remember of their visit here – the ancient
tradition of sharing ‘bread and salt’ and of ensuring safe passage, albeit in a
modern context. Visitors can expect friendly exchange as equally in
supermarkets as in remote desert villages.

Cultural Riches
It’s hard to think of Arabia without conjuring the Queen of Sheba and camel
caravans bearing frankincense from Dhofar in Oman; dhows laden with
pearls from Dilmun; the ruins of empire in Saudi Arabia’s Madain Saleh.
The caravans and dhows may be plying different trades these days, but the
lexicon of The Thousand and One Nights that brought Scheherazade’s
exotic, vulnerable world to the West still helps define the Peninsula today.
Visit a fort, barter in a souq or step into labyrinthine alleyways and you’ll
immediately discover the perennial magic of Arabia.

Why I Love the Arabian Peninsula
By Jenny Walker, Writer
Mention ‘Arabia’ and a host of familiar, media-weary images probably appear.
I’ve spent half my life studying these images – of wilderness, wealth and war
– in various academic pursuits. But there’s so much more to the
sophisticated culture of modern Arabia than is conjured by these stereotypes.
I love the Peninsula because each day I encounter the complexity of Arabia
in the dynamic, warm-hearted people who lie at the core of the region’s
enduring appeal. And of course the desert, with its life against the odds, has
inevitably crept into my soul.

Arabian Peninsula’s Top 15
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
In Arabia, the birthplace of Islam, faith is a living, breathing reality
inextricably entwined in the daily lives of Peninsula inhabitants.
Travellers will encounter it in the ubiquitous call to prayer, the warmth
of welcome enshrined in the Muslim code of conduct and, for Muslim
visitors, quintessentially in pilgrimage to the holy cities of Saudi
Arabia. Visit magnificent Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi
and see how faith is also expressed in masterpieces of architecture,
carpet and landscape design.

Museum of Islamic Art

Vying with the Louvre Abu Dhabi as the best museum in the Middle
East, Doha’s Museum of Islamic Art narrowly wins with its priceless
collection of hand-loomed carpets, ceramics and manuscripts, all of
which help establish a broader cultural context for a visit to the
region. Visitors may be surprised at the number of animal-themed
items in the collection, dispelling the myth that Islamic art is only
geometric in style and abstract in content. IM Pei’s exciting
contemporary building, in which the collection is housed, further
dispels myths about Arabia’s traditionalism.

Top Experiences

Burj Khalifa
Competitively slicing the sky, the audacious tower blocks that rise
from the cities of the Gulf are a potent symbol of the region’s
ambitions. At 828m, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa held the title of tallest
building in the world for over a decade. Dine on top of this futuristic
totem of steel and glass and escape the hurly-burly of the streets
below: at this altitude, and lifted far above the ordinary cares of a
routine day, you can quite literally have your head in the clouds.

Top Experiences

Hajar Mountains
In contrast to its vast interior desert plains, the Peninsula also boasts
some of the highest mountains and deepest wadis (dry riverbeds) in
the Middle East. Camp near the summit of Oman’s Hajar Mountains
in winter for the exciting spectacle of hail thundering into the wadis
below. Rain breaks on these mountains sporadically all year: watch
how the precious water is channelled through ancient irrigation
systems (known as aflaj) to bring life to plantations and a network of
the nearby high-altitude villages.

Top Experiences

Madain Saleh – Saudi Arabia’s Petra

They rise out of the gravel plains like lost camels, or sit crumbling to
dust on mountain ridges, speaking of past greatness, prophets, kings
and long-forgotten dynasties. Among the best preserved of these
ruins of empire are the superb Nabataean ruins at Madain Saleh.
Smaller in number than similar rock-carved tombs in Jordan’s Petra,
the tombs here are just as impressive in terms of size and location.
Sitting among these ruins on remote plains, it’s easy to contemplate
human frailty.

Sharjah
It may not generate the headlines of neighbouring Dubai or the
sophisticated capital, Abu Dhabi, but Sharjah has quietly grown into
the cultural hub of Arabia. In a celebration of local and indigenous
heritage, Sharjah boasts the largest cluster of museums in the region
with gems such as the Sharjah Heritage Museum among them. With
the historic old quarter and chaotic alleyways undergoing major
renovation in a project called ‘Heart of Sharjah’, the city offers a
sense of ancient Arabia in the midst of the modern.
