Description
Find your own journey. From desert landscapes and historic sites to cities with striking modern architecture: this Lonely Planet guide offers a broad introduction to the Arabian Peninsula. The book makes it possible to see several countries in context and find topics you want to read more about.
Experiences and content. The publisher highlights Sharqiya Sands in Oman, Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha. Coverage includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. Maps, place descriptions and background on history, art and food offer more perspectives on the region than the most famous city landmarks alone.
Who is this book suitable for? This is the 2019 edition, valuable as a geographical and cultural introduction. Check current entry requirements, transport, travel advisories and other practical information separately before any trip; the book is not an up-to-date assessment of current travel conditions.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to choose a few experiences you truly want, and see them in context with the rest of the trip. A trip with fewer stops can give more time to get to know each place. Browse through it together with your travel companions, compare ideas and find a balance between what you want to cover and what you want to have time to experience.
A physical book is also good to return to throughout the planning process. Bring it out when discussing the next leg of the trip, find an idea you had noted, and let the plan develop as you become better acquainted with the possibilities.
