Dramatic cityscapes, stunning sand dunes and glitzy beach clubs – holidays to the United Arab Emirates are a big deal.
The Magnificent Seven
The United Arab Emirates – AKA the UAE – might not make you think classic holiday. But all you need to know is it’s a federation of seven states in the south-east of the Arabian Peninsula. And what that means is you’re looking at sandy shores, clear waters, and sunny weather as standard.
Dominating Dubai
Everyone’s heard of Dubai . It’s only a fraction of the size of the biggest emirate, Abu Dhabi, but it’s got people talking with the world’s tallest building, biggest shopping centre and most luxurious hotel to its name. Glamour is the game here.
Authentically Arabian
From the glitzy group of Abu Dhabi and Dubai to the more raw and natural, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. The UAE isn’t all man-made metropolises. These emirates are classically Arabian, with their palm trees in place of skyscrapers, souks instead of shopping malls and coral reefs over busy streets.Top Destinations
On holidays to Ras Al Khaimah, the UAE's natural side makes a name for itself. You've got mountains that look like a landscape painting, long-standing fortresses and first-rate fishing.
