About Australia
The land Down Under — Sydney Opera House, Great Barrier Reef, world-class beaches, unique wildlife, cosmopolitan cities, and a growing halal food scene with 1 million Muslims.
Australia is a continent of extraordinary contrasts — the Great Barrier Reef, pristine beaches, the vast Outback, cosmopolitan cities, and unique wildlife found nowhere else. Sydney's harbour is one of the world's most beautiful. Melbourne is a coffee-and-culture powerhouse. The Gold Coast delivers theme parks and surf. Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. For Gulf visitors, Australia has a growing Muslim community (1 million+) — halal restaurants in Sydney, Melbourne, and Gold Coast are excellent. Direct flights from the Gulf serve all major cities.
