The oil-rich Emirates is a fascinating blend of old and new, from Bedouin villages to luxury hotels, from traditional souks to ultra-modern shopping malls. And in Dubai you have a state constantly looking to push the boundaries – with sensational results.
ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE
Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the world’s tallest building. Take the elevator up to the 124th floor and you can experience panoramic views of city, sand and sea
SPLASH OUT
Until recently the Dubai Mall was the largest shopping mall in the world. With more than 1,200 stores and a huge gold souk, it’s safe to say you’ll find what you’re looking for.
GET ACTIVE
Tee off at Dubai Creek Yacht and Golf Club. A challenging and scenic course, the golf club also has six restaurants and bars, so the 19th hole will be just as enjoyable as the previous 18.
TAKE THE PHOTOGRAPH
With its distinctive sail shape the Burj Al Arab hotel is one of the emblems of modern day Dubai.
SHOPPING DELIGHTS
The spice souk in the Deira region of Dubai is a feast for the senses, full of bright colours and mouth-watering aromas.
AMAZING HISTORY
Relive Abu Dhabi’s past with a visit to the Heritage Village. This reconstruction of a Bedouin settlement, with its mud-brick houses and traditional mosques, gives a fascinating insight into the old Abu Dhabi.
GET ARTY
Watch a demonstration of the skilful pastimes of embroidery and weaving at Abu Dhabi’s Women’s Craft Centre. A woven bag, shawl or rug is a perfect gift for those back home.
TIME OUT
The Corniche, a boulevard skirting the Abu Dhabi coastline, is widely regarded as the city’s most scenic area.
NATURAL BEAUTY
Framed by the Hajar mountain range on one side and the Gulf of Oman on the other, Fujairah has a dramatic beauty.
