United Arab Emirates At only 45 years old, the United Arab Emirates, is a young and vibrant country. In the last 15 years, UAE has become world famous with its avantgarde architecture – Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Water Canal to name a few. Getting around Dubai has become very easy with the Dubai Metro, Dubai Tram and Dubai Ferry across Dubai Creek and Dubai Water Canal to Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina. A holiday in Dubai can easily be combined with a few nights in Ras Al Khaimah or Fujairah. Both emirates are about an hour’s drive from Dubai and offer excellent beaches and desert experiences in serene surroundings. Abu Dhabi, built on a series of islands, is home to Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi on Yas Island.

UAE experiences • Dubai is a city lucky enough to experience year-round sunshine. In the cooler months, head down to Kite Beach, put on some sunscreen and enjoy an afternoon of swimming and sunbathing. • After a long shopping day at The Dubai Mall, take time to enjoy the performance of the world’s largest dancing fountains, in sync with classical, Arabic and world music. The evening show is repeated daily, every 30 minutes from 6pm to 11pm. • Take the Dubai Ferry from Jadaf Marine Transport Station and cruise along the new Dubai Creek extension and enjoy the city’s skyline views as you cross Business Bay to Dubai Water Canal. • Hop aboard a traditional `abra’ (water taxi), sail across the lake of the Dubai Fountain, with the iconic Burj Khalifa as your backdrop, and enjoy the breathtaking sights and sounds. • Visit THE BEACH at Jumeirah Beach Residence and enjoy the remarkable beachfront esplanade that offers everything from casual eating, signature fine dining, luxury retail, family entertainment and an outdoor cinema.

When to visit The UAE is a year-round destination. With cool and pleasant temperatures between October and April, summers are humid and hot but offer good value deals. During the winter months, this destination is ideal for sun, sea and sand, you can enjoy sun bathing during the day and cool down after dark in air-conditioned restaurants, lounges and shopping malls.
