The ancient traditions of the desert still holds way in Arabia, fabled land of the 1,001 Nights. Stand at the edge of the Sahara’s ocean, dune overlapping dune, sand cascading through the dry, bright air. Discover age-old secrets of life in impregnable fortresses and fertile oases, and thrill to the rhythm of the ultramodern cities of the Gulf. Watch as traditional pearl divers descend deep into the sea to bring back treasures of inestimable value, and stroll through lively souks in search of hand-woven carpets, intricate jewelry, and other Arabian riches. Everywhere the desert looms; its spectacular terrain and haunting silences will stay with you forever.
