Info United Arab Emirates

According to Countryaah, the United Arab Emirates are a crazy country in terms of travel technology. Where else they can in the desert skating. In the UAE, a certain traditional lifestyle has been preserved, which confuses some Europeans.
The country on the Gulf of Persia is one of the safest travel destinations on the Arabian Peninsula. The United Arab Emirates are almost entirely enclosed by Saudi Arabia. The state has a comparatively short border with Oman in the east and the entire north side of the country borders on the Arabian Gulf.

Vacation UAE

There is almost nothing they cannot do in the United Arab Emirates. It was very important to the sheikhs there to copy Western material luxury and to maximize it immeasurably. For example, they can ice skate or even go skiing in the halls on the beach. Whether or not they find it useful is up to them. But if you can’t let go of your skis or snowboard, you can try sandboarding on a prepared dune. You should also only undertake tours with jeeps, quads or other rental cars on groomed slopes, as an unknown dune can quickly slide if you have no experience.

For those who find that too much of a spectacle and who prefer not to go on an active holiday, the United Arab Emirates offers enough cultural programs. The traditional architecture of the Arabian Peninsula is often difficult to find in the middle of the skyscrapers in the Emirates, but it still exists. If you are looking for some peace and quiet, then why not attend a course in Arabic calligraphy !

Emirate of Abu Dhabi

The emirate of Abu Dhabi is an example of the rapid oil wealth. A fishing village a few decades ago, it is now one of the largest countries in the United Arab Emirates. Here you can relax and enjoy all the comfort you would otherwise never have dreamed of. The structures of the petrodollars may not be overlooked, the connection between the people in the emirate and their two elements, desert and sea, is omnipresent. So you will still find traditional net fishermen who do not want to afford the luxury of flying in tuna from the Pacific.

Emirate of Dubai

The emirate of Dubai is strange for some travelers from Europe, because it looks a bit Disney-like-artificial. It is the city that claims to be like no other. This is where the shopping festival was invented (Dubai Shopping Festival)! Like this and most other attractions, they are primarily for spending money. You can do that in Dubai to an unlimited extent. However, if you are not the type of tourist who only associates vacation with spending money, then with a little luck you will find places in Dubai where you can relax. Away from the 5-star hotels on their artificial islands, you will sit on the banks of Dubai Creek, smoke a shisha and watch the fishing boats being loaded.
