We had a group excursion cancel on us, and decided to find someplace warm we'd never been to travel this month. Just returned from an 8 night cruise of the Persian Gulf. Dubai, Doha, Sir Bani Yas, Bahrain, and Abu Dhabi. This was an entirely new part of the world to me. The architecture was astounding, and the Italian ship we sailed on was impressive. But it was too large for me - I am not a "big cruise" person. If I were a shopper I would have been in heaven. I learned a lot about the history of the area, and about some of the negative ways immigrants are treated versus locals. I am glad I went, but I am not sure I will return any time soon.
The modern architecture or the Muslim/Arabic architecture?
