From the seemingly endless expanse of golden sands to glittering coastlines and futuristic cityscapes, The United Arab Emirates is a captivating oasis on the Arabian Peninsula. The country is a melting pot of history and culture where cutting-edge architecture meets a deep sense of tradition. It is made up of seven emirates: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah.
This dynamic country offers you a diverse mix of ancient historical sites, interesting museums, cultural festivities, adventure sports and incredible shopping opportunities. Enjoy a warm Arabian welcome as you explore traditional souks, browsing for bargains; marvel at buildings like the towering Burj Khalifa in Dubai; or while away the hours wandering along the wide seafront walkways stopping at local cafes to sample some of the country’s best loved dishes.
The capital, Abu Dhabi presents a blend of iconic architecture and historic places of interest dotted across a series of islands. Visit the UAE’s largest mosque Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Mangrove National Park.
The dazzling city of Dubai has its own fair share of incredible architecture, a vibrant nightlife, enticing malls and inviting souks. Head to Ras Al Khaimah for outdoor adventures including hiking and sledding on Jebel Jais mountain peak.
For beaches and kayaking through the mangroves, spend some time in Ajman, and for museums, architecture and family-friendly activities, head to Sharjah.
