Welcome to the Emirates of Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman and Dubai, destinations which are more and more sought after by tourists. The most famous of them, Dubai, has been transformed into an ultra-modern metropolis and the other Emirates have retained a large part of their authenticity and traditions. Under a tireless sun, encircled by breathtakingly beautiful mountain and desert landscapes, surrounded by dreamy beaches and a good mixture of tradition and modernism, hotels and resorts welcome visitors with a wonderful range of services and facilities guaranteeing unforgettable moments of relaxation.
To do
The excursion into the desert is really the main attraction for tourists to the United Arab Emirates. It’s an absolute must, whether on a jeep safari or a camel ride!
Unlike the other emirates, little Ras Al Khaimah is marked by impressive mountain landscapes.
In 2018, the longest zip wire in the world was inaugurated. On this almost 3,000-metre long zip wire, you will fly over the canyon for around three minutes from the summit of the highest mountain in the UAE.
Shopping is an attraction in itself in all the emirates - you will be impressed by the very latest collections from international designers in the large shopping centres.
To see
Let yourself be captivated by the immense desert landscapes and don’t miss diving into the entertainment of the souks. The multitudes of colours and exotic perfumes of the merchandise on sale in the traditional bazaars will transport you directly into the atmosphere of the Thousand and One Nights to leave you with some unforgettable memories.
For rest and relaxation, let yourself be cradled by a turquoise sea which is at an ideal temperature all year round. There, you will see the reflection of a landscape of sandstone mountains, bordered by immaculate beaches.

Dubai
Dubai is probably the most famous city in the seven Emirates and is known above all for the highest tower in the world, Burj Khalifa, which is located in the centre of Dubai. The “Dubai Fountain” attracts tourists from all over the world. Dubai fascinates people the world over with the largest commercial centres in the world, such as the Dubai Mall, which contains not only luxury boutiques, but also the largest indoor ski centre in the world. The traditional Arab markets, the souks, are important locations for meeting and shopping as they give a glimpse of Arab culture with their extraordinary atmosphere. The ‘Palm Jumeirah’, an artificial island in the form of a palm tree, located below the city, is well-known for its luxurious hotels and wonderful views of the city of Dubai and the Burj Al Arab. Just to the side is the Dubai Marina district, an artificial port, where luxury yachts navigate and you can enjoy the best place for a walk along the very popular promenade. The sandy desert around the luxurious metropolis is perfect for excursions into the desert on a camel, quad bike or jeep.

- As a tourist, and especially in public places, "suitable" clothing is recommended (covered shoulders and knees, for men and women).

- Greetings :The men shake hands. Men and women do not touch each other.
- Couples: Presenting two passports with different names at the reception is generally not a problem, but it is better to talk about your "husband" or "wife" rather than your "partner" or "fiancé(e)"... Unmarried couples are theoretically not allowed to share a room.
- In public: Public displays of affection, dancing and alcohol consumption on the streets should be avoided.
- Miscellaneous: Electronic cigarettes are prohibited and may be confiscated.
- The Ramadan is the Muslim period of fasting. During this period, Muslims eat and drink nothing between sunrise and sunset. Consequently, some restaurants in the hotels and discos may remain closed and the entertainment program may be limited.
