Three cities, three facets of the Orient - Falstaff TRAVEL presents short trips to the world's most exciting desert cities: Riyadh, Marrakech and Muscat. Visions of the future made of steel meet ancient desert tradition and oriental flair.

Riyadh - a city of contrasts

The pulsating heart of Saudi Arabia combines the tradition of Bedouin culture and the future in a fascinating way. Just a few kilometers from the imposing skyscrapers of the metropolis, the Red Sand Dunes beckon with a touch of adventure.

Muscat - Between mountains, sea and history

Nestled between rugged cliffs and the glittering Gulf of Oman, Muscat unfolds its timeless charm. The walled old town preserves the heritage of past centuries - with its winding souks, venerable palaces and mighty forts that once watched over the trade routes.

Marrakech - the magic of the alleyways

Marrakech seduces with a magic that interweaves past and present. In the Medina, the historic heart of the city, is a veritable labyrinth of narrow alleyways and hidden doors. Revealed behind high walls magnificent riads - artfully decorated city palaces with quiet courtyards that provide shade and where life slows down.
