united arab emirates
From forever-changing, larger-than-life Dubai and
Abu Dhabi to the lesser-known emirates of Ras Al
Khaimah, Ajman and Fujairah, the United Arab
Emirates have the whole lot: beaches, towering
cities, sand dunes, incredibly luxurious hotels and
every activity under the sun.
Visit Palm Jumeirah Island, an artificial landscape
in Dubai so large it can be seen from space; ride the
rapids at Wild Wadi, browse the shops and boutiques
of an endless array of sparkling malls and visit the
Burj Khalifa - the tallest building in the World.
Spend time haggling in an Aladdin’s cave full of
the latest gadgets, relax with a round of golf on a
Championship course and even strap on some skis
and cut the piste in the desert at the unique Ski Dubai.
In Abu Dhabi, visit Yas Island’s Ferrari theme park
and have a go on the world’s fastest rollercoaster –
and stay during the shopping festival to grab a
bargain. Spend an amazing beach holiday in Ajman
or a luxury desert escape in Ras Al Khaimah and,
if you’re looking for spectacular diving, Fujairah
is perfect.
