From the Mediterranean Sea to the Arabian Sea...ancient trade routes..

Taking it the easy way, unlike the ancient seafarers, we went on a cruise which brought us from the Mediterranean Sea, through the Strait of Messina via the Suez Canal to the Red Sea and then on to the Arabian Sea....along the way, we called in at various ports, viz. Civitavecchia, Naples, Patmos, Ephesus, Haifa, Aqaba to Salalah, Muscat and finally Dubai....a voyage of 24 days which we thoroughly enjoyed...and an itinerary we would recommend without reservation!
