A cruise through the fjords of Musandam, an Omani peninsula on the northern tip of the UAE. The area, which meets the Strait of Hormuz, used to be a communications hub for the region and is still a popular trade route. Dolphins still greet visitors on the traditional Arabian-style dhows.

The Aquila Private Game Reserve is about three hours drive out of Cape Town and, although not the cheapest of the area’s many tourist attractions, is one that will stay with you.
