STOPOVERS

While Abu Dhabi is relatively laid back for the region, the city is confidently contemporary, cosmopolitan and forever evolving. Hotels are resplendent with luxury, dining is world-class and the skyline of the metropolis is futuristic and shiny. The combination of Abu Dhabi’s cultural-progressiveness and its role as modern, luxurious mega-metropolis provides visitors with an exciting and balanced stopover experience.

DOHA

Just as Doha has firm footing in the culture and art scene, the city is equally as futuristic and extraordinarily swanky! From a constantly evolving ultra-modern skyline to opulence in shopping, dining and lodging, you’ll never doubt Doha’s rank as the world’s richest city.

DUBAI

The city’s traditional role as a fishing and pearling town has all but given way to the most futuristic megametropolis in the world. In Dubai, bigger and better doesn’t cut it. Only the biggest and best will do. With the world’s tallest building, the most massive retail shopping malls, the largest man-made island and the most luxurious hotels, superlatives that grace just about every description you’ll read of Dubai are far from hyperbole.

HONG KONG

Hong Kong crackles with life. Crowds jostle, neon blings, horns honk, cargo moves, steam billows and aromas waft through its tightly packed, yet surprisingly organized spaces. Winding alleyways give way to open harbor views, which are encircled by soaring peaks and glass high-rises.

Expect warm welcomes and open arms. Combined with a rich heritage, stunning mountainous backdrop and seaside flare, you’ll quickly learn why Oman has earned its reputation as one of “best kept secrets of the Middle East.” Nestled between the Gulf of Oman and the soaring Al Hajar Mountains, Oman’s largest city and capital boasts historic souks, forts, museums and stunning parks.

SINGAPORE

Singapore is a fascinating place. The multi-cultural city-state island on the southern tip of the Malaysian Peninsula is impeccably clean and well run, with commerce and finance as its focus. Originally an obscure fishing village, the British made it a major port during the colonial era, and it has seen a stunning rise to prominence in the last few decades.

SEOUL

The business-driven, no-nonsense high rises of the late 20th century are giving way to imaginative and eco-friendly urban spaces, and a movement is afoot to preserve the traditional hanok-style housing and courtyard architecture that defined the Kingdom in centuries past. Lively, surprising and ambitious, the city was named the World Design Capital in 2010.

TAIPEI

Taipei has undergone a renaissance since the 1980s, transforming itself from Asia’s ugly duckling into a modern, livable, walkable city full of parks, monuments, museums, marketplaces, malls and tempting cuisine. Sip a coffee or cold Taiwan Beer at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial square while watching locals fly kites and practice tai-chi or hip-hop moves, and you will have touched the soul of this great Asian capital.
