Occupying the south-eastern corner of the Arabian peninsula, the United Arab Emirates is an exotic world of contrasts where the skyscrapers and shiny malls of Dubai and Abu Dhabi meet the wilderness of the desert.
Explore the uniquely Arabian pursuits of camel riding, wadi-bashing or falconry or submit to more sybaritic pleasures in a world of extravagance and style, at some of the world's best hotels.
An ideal stopover en route to the Indian Ocean, or a rewarding short break in its own right, the UAE combines tradition and luxury like no other. It also makes an ideal bedfellow for Oman, with its cultural bounty and beautiful desert scenery.
