The holy month of Ramadan is the most spiritual period for Muslims and is dedicated to fasting, worship and spiritual reflection. Ramadan is observed throughout the Arabian Peninsula and we recommend you make yourself aware of how it may affect your travel. Daytime is often quieter, business hours are generally shorter with restaurants and cafés screened off or closed out of respect for those who are fasting. In the evening, cities come to life, public places will be busy well into the early hours of the morning.

Etiquette & Tipping Visitors to the Arabian Peninsula need to be considerate of the local customs and traditions, especially when visiting Mosques or other significant religious sites. Tipping is appreciated but isn’t compulsory. Most restaurants add a service charge to their bill, in which case a tip is unnecessary.

This fee is not included in our costs and will be advised at time of booking.

Top 10 Things To Do

1 Camel Safari 1. Desert Experiences The breathtaking scenery will have you believing you’re in a scene from Lawrence of Arabia. The Rub Al Khali, located near Abu Dhabi, is the world’s largest uninterrupted sand mass. Scale the dunes on a four wheel drive desert safari or indulge and spend a night at a luxury desert resort. See pages 13, 27, 29, 33, 35, 39, 41.

2. Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Visit the majestic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, the eighth largest Mosque in the world. The marble mosaic courtyard is unrivalled and the mosque also boasts the world’s largest handmade carpet. Arab, Persian and Moorish are some of the influences evident in the mosque's architecture. See pages 13, 29.

2 Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

3. Souks A visit to a traditional souk is an experience not to be missed. The bright, bustling atmosphere and eclectic variety of goods offer a taste of then and now. Find the perfect memento at Dubai’s Deira Gold Souk, or lose yourself in the vibrant alleys of Souk Waqif in Doha. See pages 12, 35.

4. Theme Parks

The choices are endless! Cool off at the Wild Wadi Waterpark or try snow skiing at the Mall of the Emirates. LEGOLAND® Dubai provides fun for the young ones, while the young at heart can experience the thrill of Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi. See pages 12, 14, 15, 29.

5. Burj Khalifa

4 Ferrari World, Abu Dhabi 8

5 Burj Khalifa

Soaring 882 metres into the desert sky, the Burj Khalifa skyscraper is the tallest building in the world and a stunning feat of modern engineering. Start your Dubai holiday with a trip to the observation deck on the 124th floor for a bird’s eye view of the amazing desert landscape. See page 12.

6. Atlantis, The Palm Located at the crescent of Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis, The Palm is a destination in itself. Anyone is welcome to visit, even if you’re not staying at the hotel! Wander through the luxury boutiques, discover the lost city of Atlantis at the Lost Chambers Aquarium or savour the world class cuisine. See page 23.

9. Emirati Cuisine Emirati cuisine is rich in meat, rice, seafood and spices from traditional Bedouin culture. The official sweet of the Emirates is the moreish Luqaimat, dumplings drizzled with date molasses. Savour these delicious treats anytime of the day with an Arabic coffee.

Dubai Marina

The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates and Dubai, although not the capital, is perhaps the best known. Famous for its luxurious hotels and resorts, desert experiences, fantastic shopping, beautiful beaches and amazing architecture, Dubai is a destination like no other. Modern Dubai is home to the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, and the man-made island of Palm Jumeirah, the first of its kind and home to many amazing resorts. The multitude of museums, mosques and art galleries provide a valuable insight into Arabic culture and heritage. Shop at traditional souks for gold and other precious metals, fresh spices and custom-made perfumes. Street vendors provide the opportunity to sample traditional fare and provide an interesting alternative to the many world-class restaurants. No matter how many times you visit, you’ll always discover a different Dubai!

ABU DHABI

Abu Dhabi Essential Experiences Visit the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Displaying art throughout the ages, the dome shaped building is an architectural feat in itself as it appears to float above a man-made lake. Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is open to visitors daily. The free guided tours operate most days and are an absolute must. Take a guided tour of the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital. Watch as the Falcons undergo their general check-up; visit the hospital’s free-flight facility to see the birds in flight. Don’t leave Abu Dhabi without experiencing the signature gold cappuccino sprinkled with real 24 carat gold flakes at Emirates Palace.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates, was little more than a fishing village 50 years ago. Today it is fast becoming the new playground of the Middle East. It is the perfect choice for travellers seeking majestic mosques, year round sunshine and traditional Arab culture. Be sure to visit old souks, sip a fragrant Arabic coffee or ride the dunes on an exhilarating desert safari. The city is home to Sheikh Zayed Mosque, the largest mosque in the UAE and the sixth largest in the world, the planet’s fastest rollercoaster at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix. For a change of pace take a stroll along the stunning Corniche, the city’s waterfront, or enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the nearby oasis of Al Ain. Abu Dhabi is a charming mix of new and old, its captivating culture, breathtaking luxury and the warm Arabian hospitality await you.

Bringing together old world hospitality with cosmopolitan sophistication, the capital city of Doha is a tantalising mix of ancient traditions and modern luxuries.

Try a desert safari and discover life beyond the city’s boundaries.

Don’t leave Doha without visiting the Museum of Islamic Art for a journey through 1400 years of Islamic culture. Guided tours operate on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

With a wealth of culture on display at the many museums scattered across the city, discover the charm of Doha, where old and new blend seamlessly.

OMAN

Oman

Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque

Essential Experiences

The Sultanate of Oman shimmers under a golden sun and lies between the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman. Offering a refreshing reminder of a bygone era, Oman is one of the best places on the Peninsula to experience traditional Arabia. The spectacular landscapes and rich cultural traditions remain relatively unchanged from centuries past.

Wander the streets of Mutrah. Seafaring vessels laden with gold, spices and silks came into port here under the guard of the 15th Century Jalali and Mirani forts.

The capital, Muscat, is an enticing mix of old and new as enduring historic forts keep watch over the city centre. With few high-rise buildings, Muscat differs from neighbouring capitals. The city’s building policy requires each building to reflect tradition with a dome or arabesque window resulting in a tidy and whimsical city.

Explore Jebel Shams, Oman’s highest summit. Take in the views of Wadi Ghul, considered the Grand Canyon of Arabia.

Visit the breathtaking Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque with its beautiful crystal chandelier, the only mosque in Oman open to non-Muslims. See a world class performance at Muscat’s Royal Opera House. The port district of Mutrah stretches along the attractive corniche and is the city’s old commercial centre. No visit to Muscat is complete without a visit to Mutrah Souk. Practice your bartering skills in the absorbing labyrinth of narrow alleyways packed with colourful shops selling tubs of frankincense, silver and Bedu Jewellery.

Step into the past at Nizwa Fort. It is one of the country’s oldest and most impressive garrisons.

The wild mountains and desert landscapes offer a wonderful range of activities for adventure lovers, from hiking and rock climbing to desert oasis tours. Oman is a leading diving destination with some of the region’s most pristine underwater landscapes and marine life. From stunning mountain ranges to golden deserts and pristine coastlines, Oman’s natural beauty combined with its people and traditions make it an obvious choice for those wanting modern Arabia with a link to the past.

Dine like a Sultan at Bait Du Luban. Located in Mutrah, the restaurant pays homage to traditional Omani food, with unique flavours and exotic spices.

PRICES & CONDITIONS This brochure was printed on 10 October 2017. The prices in this brochure are valid for travel from 1 November 2017 to 31 October 2018, unless otherwise stated, are in Australian dollars and include GST where applicable. Exchange rates used when pricing this brochure are as at 18 September 2017. All prices are subject to availability, subject to change and can be withdrawn or varied without notice. Price changes may occur by reason of matters outside our control which increase the cost of the product or service. Such factors include (without limitation) adverse currency fluctuations, fuel surcharges, taxes and airfare increases. Surcharges and minimum stays may apply due to demand, Christmas and New Year’s Eve, school and public holidays, special events and other circumstances. All prices are the lowest available prices at the time of print and are a guide only. Please check all prices, availability, fees, conditions and information with your travel agent before booking. If we have to change any part of your booking for reasons beyond our control, for example, an Accommodation Supplier overbooks accommodation, or if there is an increase in taxes or Supplier charges, we will notify you. If any such changes result in your holiday costing more or otherwise being materially different from that originally booked, you may cancel the booking and we will refund any monies already paid less any charges levied by Suppliers.

PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE Anything not specifically indicated as being an inclusion.

DEPOSITS & FINAL PAYMENTS Deposit A minimum non-refundable deposit of $55 per person for domestic bookings and $100 per person for international bookings is payable within 7 days of confirmation of your booking. You will be notified at the time of booking if any additional deposit requirements apply.

Final Payment Final payment of your holiday cost is required at least 30 days prior to departure or by sale end date or by the payment deadline specified in individual package conditions, whichever is earlier. Some services, including airfares, may require full payment at the time of booking. For bookings made less than 31 days prior to travel, full payment of holiday cost is required at the time your booking is confirmed. Please ensure payments are made by the due dates. If this does not happen, our system will automatically cancel the booking without notice or liability to you. Only upon payment of the full cost of your holiday do you have a final booking with the Supplier of the relevant good and/or service. In arranging your booking, Qantas Holidays is acting as the agent of the Supplier of the relevant Product and at no time do you have a contract with Qantas Holidays.

CREDIT & DEBIT CARD SURCHARGES A fee will apply for payments made by debit and credit cards. Please check this fee with us or your travel agent when booking.

FEES Amendment Fees If you wish to change your booking prior to departure, an amendment fee of $30 will be charged if the overall value of the booking remains the same or decreases, in addition to any fees imposed by the Supplier of each service booked.

CANCELLATIONS & REFUNDS Prior to final payment: Your deposit is forfeited. After final payment: There will be no refund of your deposit, in addition to any fees imposed by the Supplier, which may be up to 100% of monies paid. After travel: There will be no refund for cancellation once travel has commenced. There will be no refund for unused services unless cancelled prior to travel date, with the exception of OPEN DATED services where the service is unused due to rain for the entire stay. Requests for refunds received more than 6 months after departure date will not be accepted.
