Trips to United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is a country in a class of its own, boasting world records in various categories such as the tallest skyscrapers, largest shopping centers, and most luxurious hotels. This nation, composed of seven emirates, has transformed from a desert into a world-class destination. The UAE enjoys warm weather year-round, but it's advisable to visit during the winter months, as summers can be extremely hot due to its desert location, even though it might be hard to notice in the midst of the towering buildings. Many travelers come here to combine leisure with experiences and relaxation. The options are endless, whether you want to shop, enjoy the beach, participate in water sports, explore the culture, golf, hike, or even go skiing. The United Arab Emirates is a perfect destination whether you're planning a weekend getaway or a longer stay.

The Global Metropolis of Dubai Where Anything is Possible

No matter how high your expectations are for Dubai, this extraordinary city is sure to exceed them, offering a plethora of experiences that will leave you awe-struck. An unmissable attraction in Dubai is the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Soaring 828 meters into the sky, it provides an unbeatable view and skyline of the entire city from the 124th floor. It is advisable to book entrance tickets in advance as it is both cheaper and more convenient. Another popular building is the Burj Al Arab, the world's tallest standalone hotel, with its unique sail-shaped façade reaching 321 meters. This hotel, which touts itself as the only 7-star hotel in the world, offers luxury in every form and also features the world's highest tennis court, a converted helicopter pad not for the faint-hearted.

A visit to Palm Jumeirah, the artificial palm-shaped island hosting around 30 luxury hotels and numerous shopping centers, is worth your while. Among these hotels is the renowned Atlantis The Palm, offering a range of attractions including a large water park, aquarium, spa, gym, and much more. As for beaches, Jumeirah Beach boasts the best sandy shoreline in Dubai, stretching 15 km with fine white sand. The beach is divided into two parts, one open to the public and another with a fee that offers more amenities such as green spaces, pools, and volleyball courts.

When it comes to shopping, Dubai is the ultimate city for it. Dubai Mall is the largest shopping center with 1,200 stores and renowned international brands. Like all shopping centers in Dubai, it also hosts numerous restaurants and cafes. There's even an ice-skating rink if you feel like taking a break from shopping. Another sought-after shopping center is Mall of the Emirates, with its endless shopping options, activities, and entertainment. Unbelievably, you can ski and snowboard here at Ski Dubai. For a market experience and perhaps to buy a unique souvenir, visit the various bazaars around Dubai, such as Souk Madinat Jumeirah, a modern bazaar with an oriental ambiance. You can purchase everything from water pipes, perfumes, oriental spices, to gold, which is especially affordable.

Dubai is a perfect destination for relaxation, experiences, and shopping.

The Capital, Abu Dhabi

In Abu Dhabi, you can enjoy white sandy beaches, remarkable sights, and shopping. The pace here is a bit calmer, offering a harmonious atmosphere compared to Dubai. For a captivating cultural experience, visit the Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque, the third-largest mosque in the world, which is beautifully adorned with tall pillars, grand arches, and large crystal chandeliers. A popular attraction in Abu Dhabi is Ferrari World, another testament to the UAE's affinity for breaking world records. It is the largest indoor theme park globally, recognized as the Middle East's best theme park, and hosts the world's fastest roller coaster. It is also the first theme park inspired by the history of the Italian sports car brand Ferrari. This amusement park is an exhilarating experience for all ages, especially car and motorsport enthusiasts. A beach day is best spent at The Corniche, a beach divided into three parts, all marked with blue flags.

If you wish to visit both Abu Dhabi and Dubai during your trip, you can easily combine these destinations as they are only about 1.5 hours apart by road. Additionally, we offer trips to the other popular holiday destinations of Sharjah and Fujairah.
