A blend of Bedouin, Arabian and Persian cultures, cosmopolitan cities and cutting-edge technology, rich heritage and fabulous lifestyle experiences - the UAE embraces all of these facets with equal zeal. Glitz and glamour in Dubai, vibrant arts and culture in Sharjah, glorious beach adventures in Ras al Khaimah, grand Islamic architecture in Abu Dhabi - each of the seven Emirates has a distinct flavour. Even the lesser-known areas of Ajman, Fujairah, and Umm al Quwain are worth a visit for fabulous cuisine and cultural experiences.
You can go from palm-shaped islands and the staggeringly sky-poking Burj Khalifa to the endless dunes of the desert and the stark Hajar mountains in the span of a day. See modern art at the Louvre in Abu Dhabi and visit grand old mosques gilded in gold. The UAE is a diverse, dazzling melting pot, and we’ll show you its best-kept secrets.
