UNITED ARAB EMIRATES TRAVEL GUIDE
Plan your trip to the UAE
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a country located in the Middle East. It borders Oman, the Persian Gulf and Saudi Arabia. Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, are the two best-known cities in the country. Dubai is home to the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa. The building is one Dubai’s main tourist attractions. This city is getting more and more popular.
One of the most striking things about the UAE is how luxurious everything is. Most of the wealth is concentrated in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Other areas of the country are much less luxurious and rural. In Dubai you can immerse yourself in Arab culture, learn about the origins of the country, try delicious food and enjoy thousands of plans that the country offers.

PLACES TO VISIT IN THE ARAB EMIRATES
Tips for every destination
Dubai is the most visited city in the United Arab Emirates. What used to be a transit hub for flights between Europe and Asia has quickly become a destination that receives many tourists year round. Many people may not be attracted to Dubai at first; however, the city has a lot to offer.
Abu Dhabi is the second major city in the United Arab Emirates. It is also the capital of the country. The Sheikh Zayed Mosque is the main tourist attraction in the city. It leaves everyone speechless!
Other places to visit in the UAE are Sharjah, Al Ain, Jebel Ali, Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah. An excursion to the desert is a must if you travel to the country. You’ll love it!
DUBAI
Dubai, the luxury capital of the world, has many things to offer to its visitors. From beautiful beaches to some of the most mind-blowing buildings in the world, such as the famous Burj Kalifa, the tallest building in the world.
Get to know some of the city’s most exciting places like the Dubai Mall, Ain Dubai, The Palm Jumeirah, the Jumeriah Mosque or Al Fahidi. Also don’t forget that a trip to Dubai is not complete without a desert trip.
ABU DHABI
If time isn’t a limiting factor during your trip to the UAE, I recommend visiting Abu Dhabi, the capital of the country. The city used to be a small fishing village. However, thanks to the discovery of oil in the area, the city began to grow to become the political and business center of the country.
The two places that you must visit on your visit to Abu Dhabi are the Sheikh Zayed Mosque and the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum. You will love them!
