Dear <strong>Mizzou</strong> <strong>Alumni</strong> and Friends,<br />
Somewhere between an Arabian fantasy of souks, spices and gold, and a futuristic metropolis<br />
that spreads into the sea, you’ll find the heart of one of the most intriguing places on earth.<br />
Go where abstract skyscrapers glitter in the sun, the shopping is magnificent, the golf courses<br />
are first-class, and the beaches are stunning. The road out of <strong>Dubai</strong> leads to the stark beauty<br />
of the desert with its wild grasses, oases and ancient caravan trails.<br />
The United Arab Emirates is a magic brew of old and new, a dramatic contrast of<br />
modernistic architecture and traditional camel markets, bustling souks and glamorous<br />
shopping malls, small fishing villages and the largest man-made harbor in the world.<br />
This is truly a trip to another world - exotic, gorgeous, fascinating.<br />
Go Next will take care of all the travel details; you just relax and decide what you want<br />
each day to bring. The optional excursions offer something enticing every day, or you may<br />
want time to take in the local flavor on your own. You can create the trip you’ve always<br />
