Stroll through the 300-year old Ottoman quarter - a maze of little alleyways and traditional coral houses where the smell of frankincense wafts from under beaded curtains, or step aboard a 1930s steam train built by the Italians when Eritrea was the jewel in their African crown.

AT SEA November 22nd Enjoy a relaxing day at sea, attend a guest lecture or workshop. MUSCAT (Oman) November 23rd ~ Arrive: 7 am / Depart: 6 pm City of Sultans - Oman's capital dovetails the old and the new. Between the startling blue waters of the Arabian Sea and foothills of the Hajar Mountains, parks, palaces and mosques share a dramatic setting. True to its name the Great Mosque is the grandest monument in the region and one of the finest in the world. Wander through souks cloaked in the scent of spices, sail on a traditional wooden dhow. Impressions of Muscat are laced with legendary Omani hospitality. FUJAIRAH (United Arab Emirates) November 24th ~ ~ Arrive: 6 pm / Depart: 3 pm Join Discovery on her maiden call to the spectacular city of Fujairah.
