SUMMARY:Oman & the UAE: Crossroads of the Indian Ocean & Arabian Gulf with optional\, pre-tour extension to Qatar!
DESCRIPTION:Delve into the cultural and geographical diversity of Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the company of seasoned study leader Trevor Marchand. Our custom-designed itinerary highlights ancient sites and historical monuments\, and helps illustrate how influential geography has been on the region’s history and how the region’s maritime history has linked it to elsewhere in Arabia and as far as Africa and southern Asia. Begin with three full days in the UAE. Still a little fishing village as of the 18th century\, Dubai was a center of pearl exports until the 1930s. Similarly\, Abu Dhabi was founded as a simple pearl and fishing village. After the discovery of oil in the Arabian Gulf\, Dubai became one of the wealthiest cities in the world\, and Abu\nDhabi was transformed into a luxurious modern metropolis and the capital of the UAE. But this region was settled many centuries earlier\, and we will observe how the old and the new co-exist in intriguing ways. Spend the balance of our time exploring Oman\, which dominated for centuries the maritime trade routes from Moorish Spain to Canton (modern-day Guangzhou\, China). Her seafaring merchants traded in such commodities of civilization as frankincense\, myrrh\, silk\, gold\, spices\, and coffee. Today\, Oman takes pride in sharing its rich history with visitors\, as demonstrated in its world-class museums. Altogether we will learn about these countries’ histories\, cultures\, art\, and architecture while witnessing their great geographical diversity\, from spectacular\ndeserts and wadis to pristine coastlines\, including a reserve for the endangered green sea turtle.

Describing her own remarkable vision\, the author writes in the foreword\, “I’ve chosen to give the telling of the story to Penelope and to the twelve hanged maids. The maids form a chanting and singing Chorus\, which focuses on two questions that must pose themselves after any close reading of the Odyssey : What led to the hanging of the maids\, and what was Penelope really up to? The story as told in the Odyssey doesn’t hold water: there are too many inconsistencies. I’ve always been haunted by the hanged maids and\, in The Penelopiad \, so is Penelope herself.” One of the high points of literary fiction in 2005\, this critically acclaimed story found a vast audience and is finally available in paperback. \n2024 BOOK CLUB DATES:\nRSVP: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/805084aa8af2ea5f58-aianashville#\nMonday\, February 5\, 2024\nMonday\, May 6\, 2024\nMonday\, August 5\, 2024\nMonday\, November 4\, 2024\nStay tuned for details! \nBOOK CLUB SPONSOR: AIA-Nashville Society\nThe Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) promotes archaeological inquiry and public understanding of the material record of the human past to foster an appreciation of diverse cultures and our shared humanity.
