Dubai & the Emirates
Beaches boasting year round sunshine, clean white sands and clear blue waters; a landscape combining ancient deserts, rugged mountains and futuristic city skylines; a culture where modern commerce meets timeless tradition – the United Arab Emirates is waiting to be discovered.
Take Dubai with its breathtaking architecture, spectacular luxury hotels, cosmopolitan atmosphere and a plethora of attractions. Few cities can compete in terms of excitement and glamour. From bustling souks that sparkle with jewels and labyrinthine spice markets filled with heady aromas, to cool, air-conditioned malls filled with designer boutiques, the shopping is second to none. Expect to be spoilt for choice when it comes to sporting activities. Dubai is home to the world’s richest horse race, stunning championship golf courses and every kind of watersport imaginable, plus there’s an opportunity to take a four-wheel drive desert safari over the sand dunes. Even climate is no deterrent; the city is home to Ski Dubai – one of the largest indoor ski slopes in the world. Then as night falls, the Creek waterway is perfect for a romantic evening cruise.
There’s also the serene centre of Arabian culture, Abu Dhabi. Hugging a landscape of green oases, rugged mountains and spectacular sand dunes, Abu Dhabi is the Emirates’ beguiling capital. With its ornate mosques and glittering glass and steel skyline, it’s hard to believe this thriving 21st century city was once a small Bedouin village.
On the eastern shore lies the Emirate of Fujairah. Framed by the dramatic Hajar Mountain range and overlooking the Gulf of Oman, Fujairah is a coastline dotted with the remains of Arabian castles and palm tree groves, exquisite, unspoiled beaches, fertile green valleys and expansive date gardens.
