Our recommendation


Dubai

 

A fusion of tradition and modernity

 

The United Arab Emirates is a Middle Eastern country consisting of seven emirates that stretches along the Arabian Gulf. Like its capital, Abu Dhabi, Dubai has rapidly developed into an ultra-modern metropolis with huge shopping centres and majestic skyscrapers. Authenticity and tradition are still very much alive in the smaller emirates, which remain relatively undiscovered by tourists.
 

souk Dubaï

In the space of a few years, the UAE has become a major holiday destination, both for city breaks and beach holidays. The year-round sunshine makes it a pleasant destination even in winter, and it is especially popular for its luxurious resorts, countless activities and contemporary amenities.


Dubai

Luxury and glamour

 

Dubai is undoubtedly the most famous of the seven emirates and is best known for having the world's tallest tower, the Burj Khalifa. This breath-taking building, bordered by the Dubai Fountain and its spectacular water show, attracts tourists from all over the world. The city also captivates visitors with its huge shopping malls, such as the Dubai Mall, which not only boasts luxury shops but also the world's largest indoor ski centre. The city has nonetheless retained some of its traditional character and you can also visit souks, which give a more authentic reflection of the local culture. 

Dubai city centre

As a seaside city, Dubai is an excellent choice for a combination of city sightseeing and relaxation on the beach. You can stay on The Palm Jumeirah, a man-made island in the shape of a palm tree, which is known for its luxurious hotels and stunning views of the city's skyline. Right next to this you’ll find the Dubai Marina district, an artificial harbour where luxury yachts are moored. The surrounding area is a vast desert landscape, which gives a striking backdrop to this luxurious metropolis with so much to offer!

Abu Dhabi

The majestic capital of the Emirates

 

Abu Dhabi is the largest emirate in the United Arab Emirates and is made up of three main regions – the eastern region of Al Ain, the western region of Al Dhafra and the capital, Abu Dhabi City, and its surrounding area, which bears the same name as the emirate itself and is a major cultural and commercial centre in the Persian Gulf. The first image that springs to mind when the name Abu Dhabi is mentioned is of a dynamic city, lined with skyscrapers and other ultra-modern buildings, such as luxury hotels, but it also has so much more than this to offer! The city is bursting with entertainment opportunities and places to be discovered, from emblematic monuments to cultural and historical sites and incredible attractions, meaning that a holiday in the capital of the Emirates is sure to be a unique experience!

Ras Al Khaimah

A symbol of Emirati culture

 

Ras Al Khaimah burns brightly, even without oil! Compared to some of its neighbouring emirates, which have been completely transformed by oil, Ras Al Khaimah has remained rather modest and its value comes from its authenticity rather than its black gold... Ras Al Khaimah’s tallest skyscraper is only 43 storeys high, making it much more architecturally restrained than its neighbour Dubai and its gigantic buildings, which is what makes it special! Relax in one of the luxurious hotels that line the beaches, enjoy water sports in waters that are the perfect temperature all year round and don't miss the panoramic views from the country's highest mountain, Jebel Jais, at 1,900 metres.
