    Ancient Arabia - Travel Video.
    DVD. Legacy of Ancient Civilizations. 30 Minutes. Located at the southern end of the Arabian peninsula, the countries of Yemen and Oman sit at a strategic crossroads. The Horn of Africa lies just a few miles across the southern end of the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf is off to the East, and the Arabian Sea, an arm of the Indian Ocean, gives ships easy passage to India and points east. In ancient times, this advantageous location gave the area, then known as Saba, access to wealth and power. Today, it is easy to think that ancient societies were, because of their technological limitations, relatively isolated from other parts of the world. But the study of ancient Arabia proves otherwise. The Sabaeans received goods from distant China and India and shipped them to the Mediterranean and beyond. They also produced their own luxury goods that were highly prized in other lands. Their wealth enabled them to build imposing cities, the ruins of which are treasured archaeological sites.

    Emirates Palace Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Travel Video.
    DVD. Modern Times Wonders Abu Dhabi is the capital city of the United Arab Emirates and due to its immense natural resources of oil and gas, has seen much transformation, although age-old traditions are still much respected. Even so, the city has developed a truly cosmopolitan atmosphere and contains more foreigners than locals. A mighty triumphal gate leads visitors into a fascinating Oriental fairytale world, the Emirates Palace, which has made Abu Dhabi world famous and has also assisted greatly in establishing it as a centre of tourism. Despite its name, the Emirates Palace is not in fact a royal palace but a luxurious seven star hotel of the superlative and at three billion U.S. dollars, it cost more to build than any other hotel ever built anywhere in the world. Both the hotel's main building and side wings are crowned by several cupolas, a hundred and fourteen to be precise! The Emirates Palace has taken Abu Dhabi out of the shadow of nearby Dubai and although further developments are planned, nothing will outdo the Emirates Palace!

    Arabian Desert Safari Crossing The Sands Of Time - Travel Video.
    DVD. On Tour. 26 Minutes. The oldest Arabian trading city, Dubai is a pulsating desert metropolis in the Middle East which is today synonymous with High Tech and Bedouins plus tall desert sand dunes, rocky terrain and the blazing sun. The Al-Fahidi Fort is Dubai's oldest building and was built at the beginning of the 19th century and now houses the Dubai Museum.Narrow alleys lead through the Goldsuk, the traditional covered bazaar, in which shops and stalls are packed closely together, with merchandise worth millions glittering in tempting shop windows. But for those who wish to experience something a little different, the sand dunes of the desert are the perfect setting for Dune Riding, an exhilarating extreme sport that's off the normal tourist trail. Setting off in convoy in four-wheel drive vehicles, at first the track is smooth, though undulating and, to get into the mood, this initial terrain is usually tackled with caution.And then it begins: as though on a continuous roller coaster set on sand, the horizon moves constantly as the ride follows deep ruts and then, at high acceleration, ascends high dunes, only to return downwards at stomach-churning speed.Then, in the mountains, the Wadi Water Drive follows craggy riverbeds and bumpy gravel tracks followed by further thrills in the fascinating Hajar Mountains. After all this, a camel ride turns the frenzied ridiculous into tranquil sublime and a Bedouin barbecue rounds off a perfect day in an ancient land that offers more than just a holiday!
