The cultural journey across Dubai is a long one and you can start at Cultural Palace Square in Al Wahda Road, Sharjah. A little further away is Ras Al Khaimah which is a honeypot of history enthusiasts. Each museum and site tells a story about the rich heritage of the region. A longer drive away is the Pearl of Islam, Nizwa, where the historical sites, Bahla and Jabrin, are well-renowned. Luxor, a slightly long drive from Dubair, is termed as World's Greatest Open Air Museum and is full of historical, mythical and religious structures. Then comes Muscat, and you can chose to go by air or by road. Though Muscat has adapted to the needs of the 21st century, it is very stubborn about its historical and cultural preservations. Another city that has adapted to the requirements of the 21st century without losing its traditional and cultural integrity is Doha. Though it entails a long drive from Dubai, you could shorten your travel time by catching a flight.
A slightly longer flight and you land in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Al Baleed Archaelogical Site, located in Salalah. Another famous getaway in Egypt where you can see some attractive relics is Cairo. You can marvel at the legendary Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx! Then there is the beautiful coastal city, Alexandria. Here the rich historical beauty is bought out through art. You can conclude your heritage trip after visiting Istanbul which is the most historic center in Turkey where you'll see historical structures at almost every corner.
