The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a heady mix of Arab traditions and western consumerism, with sparkling modern cities lapped by the ocean and remote desert oases shaded by date palms. Admire ingenious skyscraper architecture in Dubai and Abu Dhabi or laze on remote beaches in Ras al Khaimah.

Cities we fly to in United Arab Emirates
One of the most westernised countries in the Middle East. Dubai is a lavish and luxurious playground and Abu Dhabi is a thriving metropolis. Fujairah takes you to the picturesquely hilly east coast and Ras al Khaimah is like an oasis amid the desert. You'll discover cultural treasures in Sharjah and small-scale Umm al Qaiwain offers a taste of life before the discovery of oil.

Hotel standards are so high in Dubai that their ‘five-star’ resorts exhibit luxury and service like you’ve never before experienced. There’s no better example of this unprecedented opulence than the Burj Al Arab. Dubai’s flagship luxury hotel is famous for its sail-shaped architecture, jutting helipad and a bar plastered in gold leaf. You can find better rates for your five-star holiday in Ras Al Khaimah, just north of Dubai.
