Dubai
Cutting-edge architecture. Luxury hotels. Fast cars. Designer shops. Begin your Arabian adventure in the iconic city of Dubai. Witness how the world's tallest building kisses the sky, while bustling souks offer a trove of wonders in bustling markets. Or, shop for the world's most luxurious brands in pristine storefronts with famed hospitality. The city also hosts a treasure trove of culinary delights for the epicurean traveler. Get ready to wander through vibrant city streets and let the allure of this desert oasis excite you for the adventure ahead.
 
Sir Bani Yas Island
Go wild for this island oasis, where nature and luxury intertwine on the shores of the Persian Gulf. One of the eight desert islands of Al Dhafra, it offers a unique escape where you can get up close to thousands of free-roaming animals at the Arabian Wildlife Park, including gazelles, hyenas and cheetahs. Explore the island's heritage sites or head to one of its pristine beaches: perfect for sunbathing, snorkelling, or, in the case of Al Yamm beach, watching flamingos in a nearby lagoon. This truly is a nature lover's paradise.
 
 
Doha
Step off into multicultural Doha, where tradition and innovation go hand in hand. Stock up on spices in the souks, or indulge in a spot of retail therapy at one of the city's shopping malls. Marvel at the city skyline with its futuristic skyscrapers as you take a stroll along the Corniche. And feast on cuisines from around the world at one of the many lively waterfront cafes and restaurants.
 
Ras Al Khaimah
The northernmost Emirate awaits with miles of white sandy beaches, as well as the majestic Hajar Mountains and magnificent desert. With the world's longest zip line, camel races, the 120-store Manar Mall, and fantastic views from the UAE's highest mountain, there's so much to discover here. You're also only 45 minutes from the spires of Dubai, so if the skyscrapers and super-luxe malls are calling you, it's an easy trip. Take your pick and enjoy.
 
Khasab
As the warm breezes of the Gulf of Arabia usher us to Khasab, the 'Norway of Arabia' awaits with its rugged fjords and crystal-clear waters. Embark on a day of discovery in this Omani jewel, where ancient forts guard the silent desert and dolphins dance along traditional dhow cruises.
