    Treasures of the Arabian Gulf From 12/12/2021 From Dubai Ship: LE JACQUES CARTIER to 12/20/2021 to Muscat PONANT invites you on a 9-day cruise between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, departing from Dubai. Come aboard Le Jacques-Cartier, and set off to discover the treasures of the desert of the Arabian Peninsula. From fascinating and futuristic Dubai, your ship will take you towards Abu Dhabi, the booming capital of the United Arab Emirates. You will be able to make the most of this day to visit the fantastic new Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum and the Grand Mosque, one of the largest in the world. You will then stop off at the nature reserve of the island of Sir Bani Yas, a veritable wildlife sanctuary, before setting sail for Doha in Qatar. In this city blending tradition and modernity, next to the most recent skyscrapers, you will discover a superb museum home to treasures of Islamic art, and the sparkling colours of the Waqif souk which brings the heart of the old town to life. Le Jacques-Cartier will then drop anchor in Khasab, the gateway to the sublime “fjords of Arabia” that you will be able to explore aboard a traditional boat, before arriving in the Gulf of Oman. Fujairah lies between the Persian Gulf, lush mountains and fertile plains. From the city it is possible to take an excursion into the surrounding mountains and to visit many architectural sites includingFujairah Fort, built in 1670, orAl Bidya Mosque, the oldest mosque in the United Arab Emirates.

  • Dubai's Museum Types
    Dubai’s Museum Types: A Structural Analytic John Biln and Mohamed El-Amrousi This is a pre-print version of the following article, published in print form and available online: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/berghahn/armw/2014/00000002/00000001/art00007. Biln, John, and Mohamed El-Amrousi. “Dubai’s Museum Types: A Structural Analytic.” Museum Worlds: Advances in Research 2 (2014): 99-112. Abstract Dubai is often characterized as a city of artificiality and repackaged public spaces – a city without a past. The old historic Dubai has essentially disappeared, lost in the shadows of iconic resort projects and popular shopping malls. This article asks the following question: how do Dubai’s museums function in relation to an urban field for the most part bereft of historical fabric, and in which the history that is made visible within the public realm is largely fictional or highly sanitized? We argue that to make sense of the ways history is represented and circulated in Dubai’s public spaces, the traditional categories of ‘museum’ should be extended to include both large-scale history-themed malls and small heritage houses. Taken altogether, Dubai’s museums and museum-like institutions constitute a conceptually complete and closed system that manages to ‘resolve’ the apparent paradox of an urban context characterized by absence and historical loss, in which, paradoxically, expressions of historical fullness are everywhere. The rapid urban development and commercial repackaging of public space in Dubai has resulted in a city of overwhelming artificiality. Iconic projects such as the Palm Island, Burj al-Arab, Burj Dubai (now Burj Khalifa) have collectively given a compelling image to Dubai’s global pretensions.
