Last year I gave a series of talks on Oman in a wonderful cruise on the Island Sky from Salalah to past Abu Dhabi. This year the American company Zegrahm is doing a similar cruise travelling between Muscat and Bahrain and has invited me to join the passengers on board for a couple of weeks and provide insights into the region. The highlight of the Island Sky cruise for me was the voyage through the Arabian Sea between Sur and Salalah.
This year as Zegrahm’s small ship the ‘Clipper Odyssey’ will be in Doha I’m anticipating that the highlight will be the Museum of Islamic Art there.
