Middle Eastern Wonders & Gems of the Golden Triangle

Immerse yourself in the vibrant colours, sights and sounds of enthralling India on a seven day tour before sailing through enigmatic Artia and home to Southampton. Your journey of discovery begins in Delhi, the country's frenetic capital. A full day sightseeing tour will demonstrate the huge variation between the ancient walled city and New Delhi. Next you'll travel to Agra. The modest city hides a spectacular monument within its muddled streets: the incredible Taj Mahal. While in Agra you'll visit Agra Fort, a Mughal walled city and, en route to your final destination, you'll stop at uninhabited Fatehpur Sikri, once the capital of the Mughal Empire. Entering Rajasthan you'll notice how the landscape changes: Rajasthan has a distinctly colonial feel. Your tour of Jaipur will include a visit to the serenely beautiful Hawa Mahal, the Palace of the Winds and the Amber Fort. Zipping up the ramparts in an open-sided jeep you'll have privileged views of the Aravalli Mountains, taking in the lakes and saffron gardens below. You'll head back to Delhi for a final night in incredible India before flying to Dubai where you'll spend the night before boarding Vision of the Seas, sailing around the Arabian Sea. Take in the fjords of Khasab before continuing to Oman's capital, Muscat The characterful city retains its traditional feel with Islamic architecture and a bustling corniche. You'll stop at boldly bright Abu Dhabi where the Empty Quarter stretches endlessly ahead of you, before returning to Dubai. It's three amazing holidays in one.
