Explore Orient is a European tour operator — contracted through Ambiente Tours GmbH in Germany, with all itineraries invoiced in euros — that designs The Gulf Circuit as a single multi-country journey across 6 countries: Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Oman. The route crosses the Gulf, runs 10 to 16 days, and is sold as one privately guided cultural itinerary under one contract, rather than as separate country-by-country arrangements.

The world’s densest concentration of new wealth, six sovereign flavours of it — from Kuwait’s old merchant houses to AlUla’s canyons and Oman’s quiet grace. For leisure it is the great modern-Arabia survey; for brands it is simply the most valuable two-week routing on earth.

Entry & permits

A route this long crosses borders of very different difficulty. What each one actually requires, and which we handle for you:

Country Entry What that means
Kuwait straightforward Entry requirements confirmed for your nationality in the proposal.
Saudi Arabia straightforward Group and event visas for delegations handled through our Saudi partners.
Bahrain straightforward Entry requirements confirmed for your nationality in the proposal.
Qatar straightforward Entry requirements confirmed for your nationality in the proposal.
United Arab Emirates straightforward Entry requirements confirmed for your nationality in the proposal.
Oman straightforward Entry requirements confirmed for your nationality in the proposal.

Requirements vary by nationality and change; each is re-checked against your passports before booking. Nothing above is a guarantee of issuance — visas are granted by the issuing state, not by us.
