Experience the world's most beautiful golf courses

A route straight out of 'One Thousand and One Nights' – featuring a golfing adventure of a very special kind. The itinerary takes in the countries bordering the Arabian Gulf, where you’ll have the chance to play on three different desert courses. A trip that is sure to leave a lasting impression, not least for golfers. – The Golf & Cruise package offers a chance to discover the region from a completely different perspective. 

Sun, 10.12.2028 Abu Dhabi  (UAE) - Yas Links Golf Club  
This Arabian links course presents itself as an impressive symphony of colours; the elongated design of the green fairways rivals the turquoise of the offshore waters of the Persian Gulf. Situated below the Formula 1 circuit and Ferrari World, these 18 fairways are of the highest quality. They alone are a visual spectacle. Half of the fairways run directly alongside the turquoise waters of the sea. The links-style character is emphasised by the undulating fairways and the extensive bunkering around the greens. 
 
Tue, 12.12.2028 Doha (Qatar) – Doha Golf Club  
Although this golfing adventure is situated in the heart of the city, it is nonetheless a genuine desert course. It features five artificial lakes and wide fairways, some of which require a dogleg shot around a corner. Although the use of sand traps on the fairways is limited, the surrounding rough is made up of the region’s original soil: pure desert sand! The combination of the lush green of the playing surfaces and the golden-yellow desert sand alone makes this golfing experience something truly special to behold. 
  
Fri, 15.12.2028 Muscat (Oman) – Al Mouj Golf  
Situated on a narrow coastal strip, this elongated course designed by Greg Norman is bordered by the Gulf of Oman on one side and the desert sands and mountains of the region on the other. The result is a blend of American design, including numerous well-placed bunkers, combined with the character of a links course. This means that the fairways are at times characterised by significant undulations, which constantly require players to adjust their stance. The course passes four artificial lakes created specifically for the golf course; these influence the course of play, at least visually.
