Fra ITM: Dubai is truly becoming a very popular travel destination and the loose federation of sheikdoms collectively known as the United Arab Emirates is growing in popularity with each passing year. Despite the turmoil affecting both Israel and Iran, this part of the Middle East is open for business and peaceful. Side 1 concentrates on the overall region from the eastern border of the UAE to its interaction with Oman. It also has an excellent inset map of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE. Side 2 concentrates on Dubai itself as the largest urban area. Dubai has an extensive and interesting old town on the east bank of the Dubai Creek, which is where most of the hotels and the huge international airport are located. The ‘new town’ is on the left bank, and this is where one finds Western-style shopping areas, high-rise towers, the rapid transit line, and the main motorway out of town. The World Trade Center and Emirates Towers are also centrally located. The man-made Coastal Projects are shown in insets.

From ITMB: The Gulf, in this case, is the Persian Gulf, or if you prefer, the Arabian Gulf or, if you wish to, the Iranian Gulf. Regardless of which name one prefers, it is the body of water between Iran and the Arabic Emirates of Bahrain, Qatar, Dubai, and Oman/Muscat. It is also a popular cruising locale, with ships operating from Dubai to various ports of call. It also covers a considerable amount of geography, so side 1 concentrates on the water area from Kuwait/Iraq/Iran south to Bahrain and Qatar, along the coastline of the UAE to Oman and the Straits of Hormus, and along the coast of Oman to Muscat. It also includes inset maps of Manama (Bahrain), and Doha (Qatar), for the convenience of users. The second side of the map shows all of the United Arab Emirates and most of Oman, with insets of central Dubai and Muscat. Each side includes a listing of the top attractions of the side being shown. This is the third of ITMB’s growing range of cruising maps. We believe that the future of travel includes cruises as a popular means of exploring exotic travel destinations while retaining a comfortable environment. My wife and I cruised the Gulf a couple of years ago and found cruising to be an excellent way to explore several different countries that would be difficult to reach in any other manner. One day, I hope that cruises in this part of the world will extend to ports of call in Kuwait, Iraq, and Iran.
