Discover the architecture, history and natural beauty of this captivating country

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

The United Arab Emirates has a lot to offer and however long you’re staying, there’s no shortage of experiences to keep you as busy as you’d like to be.

Highlights

Visit Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the largest mosque in the country, in Abu Dhabi

Discover Al Jazeera Al Hamra, an old pearling village and the last of its kind in the region, in Ras Al Khaimah.

Spend time on some of the UAE’s best beaches along Ajman‘s coastline.

Explore Sharjah, cultural and literature hub of the UAE, with something for the whole family.

World-class shopping is definitely a highlight, but there's so much more to the United Arab Emirates. Think stunning desert landscapes, lush oases, sparkling shorelines and pockets of history tucked away between futuristic cityscapes.
