SUMMARY:Oman: Crossroads of the Indian Ocean & Arabian Gulf
DESCRIPTION:Oman’s Bronze Age\, Iron Age\, pre-Islamic\, and Islamic sites are spectacular. This custom-designed itinerary with seasoned study leader Trevor Marchand delves into the historical monuments and cultural history of Oman\, while also sampling the country’s great geographical diversity\, from spectacular deserts and wadis to pristine coastlines\, including a reserve for the endangered green sea turtle. On this program\, maximize your time in-country with group flights between Muscat in the far north and Salalah in the far south. Oman was historically the link between Arabia\, Africa\, and South Asia. For centuries\, Oman dominated the Indian Ocean’s commerce\, governing Gwadar (on the coast of modern-day Pakistan) and Zanzibar. Indeed\, Oman dominated the trade routes from Moorish Spain to Canton (modern-day Guangzhou\, China); her ships and seafarers sailed into harbors worldwide\, and her merchants traded in the commodities of civilization\, such as frankincense\, myrrh\, silk\, gold\, spices\, and coffee.\nToday\, the country takes pride in sharing its rich history with visitors\, as demonstrated in its world-class museums.

SUMMARY:Cycladic\, Minoan\, Mycenaean & Classical Greece
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore storied Athens and its celebrated ancient monuments before flying to legendary Crete\, Greece’s largest island and the place that gave rise to Europe’s first advanced civilization. After visiting fascinating sites and museums in and around Heraklion\, we will embark the lovely Callisto\, which is akin to a private yacht rather than a cruise ship and accommodates only 34 guests. \nCruise to several of the most beautiful and historically important Greek islands. Some of the islands we will explore\, such as Santorini\, are well known\, while others\, such as Amorgos and Sifnos\, are less known and yet considered to be the gems of the Greek archipelago. Beyond the bounds of mass tourism\, they remain unspoiled\, retaining their original character\, and their ancient sites are devoid of large groups of visitors. A special feature of the cruise is the inclusion of the small\, uninhabited\, and seldom-visited islet\nof Despotiko\, which was an important sanctuary of Apollo in antiquity. Ongoing excavations under Greek archaeologist Yannos Kourayos have revealed major structures\, including the Temple of Apollo\, now partially restored. \nYour engaging AIA expert\, Professor Shelmerdine\, will offer a series of onboard lectures and informal discussions\, and local guides will illuminate the sites on every excursion ashore. Our custom-designed itinerary\, the small size of the ship\, and the planned activities combine to make for a truly memorable travel-learning experience.

SUMMARY:IAD in the UNESCO Global Geopark Bohemian Paradise 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Ecological Education of the Liberec Region\, The Bohemian Paradise House of Nature\, together with other partners\, invite you to an archeological excursion to one of the most naturally valuable and attractive localities of the Český Ráj PLA – to the settlement and hillfort “Hrada and Klamorna na Mužském”. The heritage-protected area is one of the most important archaeological sites in Bohemia with abundant evidence of settlement during the last ten thousand years. Through the guided tour\, we will get a glimpse into another of the stories of the landscape of sandstone rocks.\nThe prehistoric highland settlement of Hrada and Klamorna\, on whose edge rock blocks were built in the High Middle Ages two fortified guard castles\, originally formed a single unit with an area of ​​19 hectares. The site was visited by people as early as the end of the hunter-gatherer period\, it was continuously inhabited from the end of the 6th millennium BC by Neolithic farmers\, then by the carriers of the Eneolithic cultures and later in the Bronze Age\, when the area was most likely first fortified by people of the Lusatian culture. Hrada and Klamorna was repopulated in the late Hallstatt period\, in the Latenian period and then by the Slavs in the early Middle Ages with the restoration of the fort approximately between 800 and 950. The tour with the archaeologist will also be devoted to settlement and farming on the rocks in the modern age\, historical paths in the sandstone bedrock and history of mining sandstone. \nMeeting place (and parking): Dneboh – Kavčina\, 50.5289000N\, 15.0289133E\nRoute length 3.5 km\, medium difficulty.\nRegistration: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScJVwiBzBsjtPt8dsHhKZR-iXU4v54VZoiQgP5My1rFE3pK2A/viewform
