Which state of the United Arab Emirates is better to go to rest. We open the UAE! Which emirate to choose? Means of transportation in the country

Just some 40 years ago, there was a continuous desert on the site of the UAE. And now many tourists from all over the world come here to observe the result of architectural and technological progress. The Emirates are growing and developing at an incredible rate. Surrounded by the warm, clear waters of the Persian Gulf, they are always fully armed and happy to receive "overseas" guests who wish at the same time to relax on the beach and the possibilities of a developed metropolis.

UAE is a country where the impossible is possible!

5 reasons to visit the Emirates:

  1. The holiday season in the UAE lasts all year round. The hottest months are June-September. The temperature reaches 40-42 ° С, but you will not notice this heat - air conditioners in the Emirates work at every step. In January, the air temperature does not drop below 25 ° C.
  2. All around there is wealth, purity, luxury and the smell of expensive perfume. And local traffic cops patrol the streets of megalopolises in Bugatti and Lamborghini cars.
  3. The desert in the UAE is the most real, with dunes. What the resort area of ​​Egypt cannot boast of. So feel free to go on a jeep safari!
  4. Here you will not meet drunken brawlers. Laws are strictly enforced in the emirates. By the way, if a tourist stares at a Muslim woman for a long time, he can be fined or imprisoned. Be sure to check your local dress code.
  5. A relatively short flight (4-5 hours) will allow you to be on a paradise beach, no worse than in the Maldives or the Dominican Republic, but 2-3 times faster. With the same fluffy and clean sand and smooth entry into the sea!

Which emirate to choose?

First, decide what you will do. Going to clubs? You are in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. If you want a comfortable family vacation, the emirate of Fujairah is for you. For inexpensive quiet relaxation go to the emirates of Ras al-Khaimah and Sharjah.

UAE is a large shopping center. All emirates have malls and markets. The locals have a special attitude towards them - in shopping centers they spend evenings, weekends, celebrate holidays and just drop in here at any free minute.

The Emirates has city hotels, first line hotels with a private beach and coastal hotels near municipal beaches. City hotels usually have their own pools, which are located on the upper floors of the building. Do you like breathtaking views? Look for a hotel with a pool located as high as possible above sea level.

Focus on the price: the farther the emirate is from Dubai - the main entertainment and shopping center of the country, the cheaper the hotels. However, from hotels in the distant emirates, a bus runs to Dubai several times a week, paid or free, depending on the hotel.

Dubai

The most cosmopolitan and "Europeanized" emirate. This is a huge metropolis with a vibrant nightlife, one might say, "the second Moscow". Only here there are more shopping centers, water buses are widespread, and the subway generally runs without drivers.

Dubai has a very busy nightlife and restaurant scene. Everywhere you can smoke delicious hookah, try the delights of world cuisine and buy designer things. However, young people under 21 are not allowed into the clubs.

If you are planning to visit the Emirates for the first time, then go here. From the excursion program - the tall Burj Khalifa, Pearl Diving Village, Dancing Fountains and much more

Dubai hotels do not have their own territory on which to walk. And there is no beach holiday as such either - many go to swim in the neighboring emirate of Sharjah.

Sharjah

A very strict and conservative emirate, "dry law" reigns here. It is forbidden to drink alcohol in open restaurants, on the street, on the beach, and in the hotels themselves alcohol is not sold.

Sharjah is also the cultural capital of the country with numerous attractions. Boys of all ages will find it interesting to visit the Museum of Vintage Cars.

Holidays here are much cheaper than in the larger emirates, so Sharjah is popular with few Russian tourists who drink. It is quiet and calm, not crowded beaches. Located 45 km from Dubai.

Fujairah

Fujairah is called the most beautiful emirate of the country, it is located in a bay, and many hotels have their own beaches. There are fewer skyscrapers here, and therefore much more comfortable. Lovers of exotic and diving come to Fujairah: there are many corals in the sea, you can see moray eels, butterfly fish and other underwater inhabitants.

Among the attractions of the emirate are the Museum of Ancient Settlements, the Old City area, and a busy port. The city itself is decorated with numerous fountains and sculptures with traditional Arabic motives.

This is the northernmost emirate, so it is always 2-3 degrees cooler here, and more greenery. It takes about 5 hours to drive from Dubai.

Ras al-Khaimah

There is much less entertainment in the emirate of Ras al-Khaimah than in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Better to come here for an excursion from a neighboring emirate. From Dubai about 1.5 hours drive - buses run for an additional fee.

Few tourists, there are more locals on the beach. But there is also a lot of entertainment for tourists: again, shopping malls, camel racing, sailing and others. The area of ​​the Old Town is rich in historical sights, for example, the ruins of the palace of the Queen of Sheba. The Ice land water park is open for children and adults.

Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is the business center of the UAE, there is no beach recreation area here. However, it is worth visiting the emirate! You will be amazed by the breathtaking views of the mosques scattered across the "field" of skyscrapers, the beautiful architecture of modern buildings. You will see palaces, monuments, numerous fountains. It is as luxurious here as in Dubai. You can even safely buy gold from the machine. The nightlife is also quite active. Among other things, it is the greenest emirate!

Where to go with children?

Children in the UAE are very fond of, so here you can find good water parks, zoos, which is only the Dubai Aquarium - the largest in the world. There is practically no animation in hotels, and All Inclusive is not very common. However, the All Inclusive meal plan will be the only reasonable option, since the prices for food in all cafes, proudly called “restaurants”, regardless of the menu, are quite high. For a relaxing family vacation with children, choose the emirate of Fujairah.

Since then, oil and trade revenues in Dubai have built the largest artificial harbor in Jebel Ali, the tallest building in the world, the largest fountains, the largest and dozens of smaller shopping malls, hundreds of skyscrapers and luxury hotels, dozens of parks and entertainment facilities. Naturally, all these objects were built not by Arab citizens, but by visiting workers from different countries.

Who will you meet in Dubai - population

The population of the UAE is 10 million people, of which only a little more than a million (10%) are citizens. The remaining 90% are migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Malaysia and other countries. Read our article “”.

In Dubai, the percentage of citizens is even less - about 5%. The most numerous are Indians, their tourists are most often met at the reception of hotels, behind the counter in shops, driving a taxi and as waiters in restaurants.

The composition of the population strongly depends on the area of ​​the city. For example, there are many citizens and Europeans living in, but Indians and Pakistanis only work here. It is very rare to meet an Arab citizen.

The official language of Dubai (like all the UAEs) is Arabic, but almost everyone here speaks English. Knowledge of English in the UAE is a big plus for a tourist, otherwise you will have to communicate with sign language.

What residents do - economy

The GDP of the Emirate of Dubai is 82.87 billion US dollars (according to the report for 2016). This is the second figure after Abu Dhabi (367 billion). Dubai's economy is not dependent on oil, unlike Abu Dhabi, where oil accounts for 60% of GDP.

Many tourists mistakenly believe that everything in Dubai is built with oil money. However, this is a big misconception, because oil has never been the main source of income for the emirate, trade has always brought more. Now oil accounts for only 4% of GDP.

The largest branch of the Dubai economy is retail trade, accounting for 29.2% of GDP. The role of “shopping mecca” generates huge profits. In 2016, total retail store revenue was $ 45 billion, more than just London.

A significant part of the GDP comes from construction. Dubai is considered one of the best places to live in the world, real estate here is in great demand and is constantly becoming more expensive. In some areas of the city, foreigners are prohibited from buying real estate in order to exclude speculation and investment purchases.

Another important area is tourism, which we talked about in detail at the beginning of this article. Other developed industries: services, industry, fishing, financial services, insurance. Thousands of companies are registered in Dubai due to its low taxes.

Areas of Dubai

Jebel Ali Is a port and industrial area. There are many wonders here - the world's largest artificial harbor, the world's largest desalination plant. American aircraft carriers can often be seen in the port. But tourists will not be able to see these places, the entrance is only for the staff.

Marina (Marina) Is a tourist-visited area; upon completion, there will be the world's largest artificial jetty. Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) is being built here - an elite residential area, the embankment of which will be eclipsed in Abu Dhabi. JBR Beach is popular with tourists.

Al Barsha- This is the area behind the Sheikh Zayed highway. For tourists, it is almost uninteresting, except for the fact that the Mall of The Emirates is located here. Moreover, to visit the Mall of The Emirates, you do not need to delve into the Al Barsha area, since the shopping center is located right next to the metro station. There are many budget hotels in the Al Barsha area along Sheikh Zayed Road.

Al Quoz- This area is very similar to Al Barsha, only it is located east of the Sheikh Zayed highway. For tourists, it is interesting for inexpensive hotels and many art galleries located on the sites of former warehouses. The most famous: Carbon 12 Dubai, Isabelle Van den Eynde Gallery, Green art gallery, FN Designs, The Mine.

In addition to those listed above, there are dozens of districts and suburbs in Dubai. But for tourists they are not of great interest, we will not talk about them.

sights

It takes a month or even more to see all the more or less interesting places in Dubai. Usually tourists come to Dubai for a week and see only the most important sights. Below we present our list of the TOP 10 most-most sights.

10th place - Burj Al Arab hotel

One of the tallest and most luxurious hotels in the world, the height of the building is 321 meters. Located on a small island 150 meters from the coast, thanks to this the building is visible from almost every beach in Jumeirah. The blue and sail-shaped design has made Burj Al Arab a well-recognized symbol of Dubai.

For tourists, this attraction is not of great benefit. Tours involve only a short stop outside the hotel to take pictures in the background. Those wishing to visit inside can book a room, the price for the most profitable promotion is 1000 USD per night. Regular rates start at USD 2,000 per night.

Another way to get inside is to reserve a table at one of the restaurants in Burj Al Arab. Best at Skyview Bar on the 27th floor. Any person can book a table, not necessarily a hotel guest, but prior reservation is required.

9th place - Legoland Park

Imagine an amusement park built with 60,000,000 building blocks. For Lego fans, this attraction is a "must see". The park opened in October 2016, and many tourists and residents of Dubai do not yet know about it, while there are still few visitors (note: this article was written in 2017).

The park has 60 attractions for visitors of all ages. The most extreme is The Dragon Coaster, a roller coaster up to 16 meters high, accelerating to 60 kilometers per hour. The park consists of two parts - an amusement park and a water park.

The amusement park is divided into 6 thematic zones: KINGDOMS, IMAGINATION, ADVENTURE, LEGO CITY, FACTORY and MINILAND. In the LEGO CITY area, kids can ride one of 45 electric cars, learn traffic rules and get a LEGOLAND Driver's License.

In the MINILAND zone, Lego bricks have assembled models of famous landmarks of the UAE and the world, including the Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, and 20,000,000 parts were spent on these models. In the FACTORY zone, you can see how the construction set is made and get your own personal Lego brick.

Creek Park in the southeast of Bur Dubai is considered one of the best family-friendly destinations. It houses the Dolphinarium, Wonderland Amusement Park and Children "s City. Creek park is easily accessible by Metro - Dubai Healthcare City Station is 500 meters from the park.

The main attraction in Creek Park is the Dubai Dolphinarium, where you can watch not only dolphin and fur seal shows, but also performances of exotic birds, walk through the mirror maze, watch a movie in a 5D cinema and ride several attractions.

Shows are held at 11-00, 15-00 and 18-00. The ticket price is from 50 to 140 dirhams.

Wonderland Amusement Park is currently closed. It will be completely rebuilt by 2020, the cost of the project is 1.8 billion dirhams. Something big is expected here.

Children 's City is designed for children aged 2 to 15 years old and is easily recognizable for its flamboyant Lego-like style, although the creators call it an “educational center”.

Here children in different zones can study natural phenomena, put on physical experiments, visit the planetarium and see models of spaceships.

Here visitors will find the JUMEIRAH SCEIRAH slide with a height of 32 meters, the BURJ SURJ group attraction, an artificial river with a length of 360 meters and a magnificent children's area. Wild Wadi has two wave pools - the first for surfers and the second for those who like to calmly swing on the waves.

The “highlight” of the park is the Master Blasters slide, on which guests do not roll down, but rise up, pushed by jets of water from the pumps.

You can get there by metro - station Mall of The Emirates, then by taxi (it will cost about 10 dirhams).

Opening hours: from 10-00 to 19-00 in all months except November and December. In November: from 10-00 to 17-30, in December: from 10-00 to 17-00.

Visitors to expensive hotels near the water park are free to enter. By the way, considering the price of visiting Wild Wadi water park, it makes sense to stay in one of these hotels for one day. Pay about $ 300 for a room, but save money at the water park. Consider this option.

6th place - Mall of Emirates and Ski Dubai

The second largest shopping and entertainment center in Dubai, second only to Dubai Mall. Boasts the largest Carrefour hypermarket in the city.

The numbers are impressive: 233 thousand sq. meters of retail space, 630 retail outlets, 90 restaurants, fast foods and cafes, it took two food courts to accommodate them.

The mall houses four hotels, including the five-star Sheraton and Kempinski.

The Deira region in the world is famous primarily for its markets.

The most famous “The Gold Souq” specializes in the gold jewelry trade. Tourists come here more often not to buy gold, but just to look. Dozens of shops are trying to amaze customers with unusual decorations on the windows.

The second market “The Perfume Souq” not only looks colorful, but also smells colorful. Here they sell perfumes and other perfumes from all countries of the world and any brands. Prices are often cheaper than in Duty Free, there are almost no fakes, this is strictly monitored by the Dubai authorities. Tourists come here to buy Arabian perfumes.

The third market “The Spice Souq” specializes in spices. Here you can buy condiments from all over the world. Tourists love to buy cheap saffron and Arabic bezar from Spice Souq.

The fourth market “Fish Market”, or rather, there are two such markets in Deira, choose any. Here you can see the entire fauna of the Persian Gulf. We do not recommend coming here for those tourists who cannot stand the smell of fish.

4th place - Atlantis hotel: water park and aquarium

Atlantis The Palm is located at the farthest point of the Palm Jumeirah artificial islands. An expensive hotel - from $ 300 per night. The hotel has a large Aquaventure water park and Lost Chambers oceanarium, which can be accessed by any tourist, it is not necessary to book a room.

Tourists come to see and take pictures with the Burj Khalifa in the background and visit one of the observation decks. There are three of them: on the 124th, 125th and 148th floors. Climbing the highest one costs 500 dirhams. In fact, it is the most expensive attraction in Dubai.

In 2017, an interesting view of Dubai construction projects opens from the observation deck, the city looks yellow and many tourists find it boring. Are these impressions worth 500 dirhams? The question is open.

The easiest way to get there is by metro - Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall station. A covered pedestrian bridge leads from the station, you need to walk along it to Dubai Mall, and from there you can go to Burj Khalifa via a special passage.

It is easier to buy tickets online through the official website. Keep in mind that the ticket is bought for a certain time, we do not recommend being late. Read our detailed article “”.

2nd place - Dubai Fountains

Located in the Burj Khalifa artificial lake in the heart of Downtown. These are the largest dancing fountains in the world, in this matter Dubai has bypassed even Las Vegas.

Watching the Dubai Fountain shows is free, for this reason we put them in the 2nd place in our rating. There are two shows in the afternoon at 13-00 and 13-30 and nine shows in the evening from 18-00 to 22-00. You can see it from the waterfront near Dubai Mall or Souk al-Bahar market.

Another option is to reserve a table at the restaurant of the Armani Hotel in Burj Khalifa, from where the entire half-arc of the fountains is perfectly visible.

The fountains cost Dubai a record 800 million dirhams, the fountains lift up to 100 tons of water into the air at the same time, and the height of the jets reaches 150 meters. It is unforgivable to visit Dubai and miss such a show, especially since it is free.

It is convenient to get there by metro - Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall station. From there over the footbridge to Dubai Mall. Then go out to the embankment, the fountains will be in front of you. For more information on where to look at the fountains of Dubai, read our article “”.

The largest shopping and entertainment center in the world. Total area - 1,124,000 sq. meters, the total area of ​​shops - 350,000 sq. meters. More than 1200 shops and 200 food service outlets.

Dubai Mall is no longer famous for shopping, but for its entertainment component. If we talk about shopping, then just in Dubai Mall prices are always overpriced.

In addition, in the Dubai Mall, you can go ice skating at the Dubai Ice Rink and see a real dinosaur skeleton. All these entertainments, together with 1200 shops, put Dubai Mall in the first place in our ranking. About the shopping center itself, read our article "".

Choosing an emirate for a vacation in the UAE - tourism highlights and the best hotels

Most UAE visitors equate a vacation in the United Arab Emirates with a vacation in Dubai. This is not entirely true. Six of the seven emirates of the UAE are actively investing in tourism development - the construction of classy hotels, tourist infrastructure and places of entertainment. And each of the emirates of the UAE is somehow the best. SeredinaLeta has collected for you tourism highlights of rest in different emirates of the UAE, their attractions and the best hotels.

Holidays in the emirate of Dubai are the best for entertainment

Dubai is the center of tourism, infrastructure, world records and the best innovations in the UAE. Each year, the emirate breaks its own attendance records. Despite the fact that prices in Dubai are on average more expensive than other emirates of the UAE and new hotels are constantly opening, the occupancy rate of hotels is invariably higher than 75%. By 2020, Dubai plans to attract 25 million tourists a year. Can you imagine? An incredible figure ...

Holidays in Sharjah - accessibility to attractions and beach holidays

The Emirate of Sharjah is the closest neighbor of Dubai with a border just 15 km from the territory of Dubai Airport. Sharjah also has its own airport, which accepts flights of Air Arabia from Ukraine.

Regardless of the airport of arrival, a vacation in Sharjah always involves a quick transfer to the destination.

Tourism hot or very important a feature of rest in the emirate of Sharjah is prohibition ... In Sharjah, alcohol is not served in hotels and restaurants, it cannot be bought in stores, it is openly consumed, and even the transport of alcohol in Sharjah is officially prohibited.

Rest in Sharjah is chosen by those who do not depend on "alcohol doping" for active pastime or who carefully carry alcohol with them for private parties in the room. Sharjah's All inclusive food system has its own characteristics. It includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and soft drinks, which are free with meals only. This feature makes it possible to use the all-inclusive system for an inexpensive surcharge.

What is the best vacation in Sharjah? Emirate advantages:

  • ♦ Passport is more often used as a deposit in Sharjah hotels than a cash deposit

Holidays in the Emirate of Ajman - Best Family Hotels

The smallest emirate of Ajman has developed into a well-kept modern well-developed tourist city in recent years.

In Ajman there is something to see, where to walk for both children and adults: an old fort with a working museum, two huge parks with attractions and playgrounds. Entertainment is available by transport for guests of all Ajman hotels, because the emirate is very small in terms of territory. The trip to Dubai from Ajman hotels takes about 30 minutes. Many hotels provide transfers to malls in Dubai and very good prices by Emirati standards.

What is the best vacation in Ajman? The emirate of Ajman is a "fishing spot" and is famous for its fishing excursions. You can enjoy the prepared catch right on the boat or in the numerous restaurants in Ajman. Many of Ajman's hotel restaurants are also happy to prepare freshly caught fish.

Choosing a vacation in Ajman, you should be attentive to the concept of food. Some of the best hotels in Ajman are non-alcoholic: Ramada Beach 4 * and Bahi Ajman Palace 5 *. We recommend paying attention to the best family beach hotels of Ajman Fairmont Ajman 5 *, Ajman Saray 5 * (all inclusive) and Ajman Hotel 5 *... Of the budget hotels in Ajman with a beach, the best option would be Ajman Beach 3 *- The optimum ratio of price and quality!

Holidays in Ras Al Khaimah - Marjan island and great prices

Ras Al Khaimah is a poor and small emirate of the UAE with a population of only 300 thousand inhabitants. It is located an hour's drive (80 km) from Dubai Airport. But the beaches of Ras Al Khaimah are a fairy tale. Recently, the emirate has changed and populated an artificial island with hotels - Marjan ... And it continues to be completed! Funds and hopes are invested in the tourist infrastructure, because Ras Al Khaimah is the country's poorest emirate in terms of oil and gas.

There are few attractions in Ras Al Khaimah, but they are: a perfectly preserved the ancient city of Julfar and Watchtowers of Ras Al Khaimah ... From September to April you can visit camel race , which are held on the 10 km long camel track of Ras Al Khaimah on Fridays and Saturdays.

On vacation in Ras Al Khaimah, you can go on an excursion to the incredible beauty of the Wadi Bi canyon, comparable only to the Grand Canyon in the United States. There are healing properties right in the capital. hot springs khatts springs ... Tourism in Ras Al Khaimah is huge water park Ice Land in the style of the cartoon "Ice Age".

But the best vacation in Ras Al Khaimah is the beach vacation. The peculiarity of Ras Al Khaimah is that the waters are calmer and warmer than in other emirates of the Persian Gulf. Thanks to the mountain range, Ras Al Khaimah is always a little warmer and more comfortable for a winter holiday in the UAE.

Holiday prices in Ras Al Khaimah can be very attractive. Moreover, most of the emirate's hotels offer an all-inclusive catering system. We recommend hotels on the island of Mardjan with the best beaches: Rixos Bab Al Bahr 5 *, Doubletree by Hilton Marjan Island 5 *, Marjan Island 5 *.

The best VIP hotels on the Ras Al Khaimah coast Hilton Ras Al Khaimah 5 * and luxurious Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah 5 * only offer breakfast or half board catering concepts. Moreover, Waldorf is a classic of true luxury, and the Hilton is so large that while resting in it at the same time, it is easy not to meet during the whole vacation.

From inexpensive hotels on the coast of Ras Al Khaimah, we recommend Smartline Ras Al Khaimah Beach Resort 4 * and Beach Hotel by Bin Majid Hotels & Resorts 4 *... The only caveat is that the ebb tides are felt on the beaches of the Ras Al Khaimah coast. You can swim, but at low tide near the buoys - up to your waist.

Holidays in the emirate of Fujairah - the best underwater world

Fujairah stands out among the emirates of the UAE for its nature, color of water and marine life. Fujairah is the only emirate with a beach strip into the Gulf of Oman in the Indian Ocean.

Fujairah has the best underwater world of the UAE: fish, corals, turtles and diving on Shark Island. Fujairah's appearance is in stark contrast to Dubai - there are much fewer skyscrapers and much more greenery.

Holidays in Fujairah are chosen by lovers of beach activities, since the road from the airport to Fujairah hotels through the mountains takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Many tour operators offer to combine vacation - 2 days in Dubai and then a beach vacation in Fujairah. A very interesting and economical combination of different pleasures in one vacation.

Fujairah's natural microclimate is ideal in winter, when it is still cool in the rest of the UAE. Conversely, during high summer, Fujairah is prone to monsoons and can be windy. Better to move your vacation to the emirates of the Arabian Gulf of the United Arab Emirates.

An important nuance of the Fujairah emirate is the presence of a huge UAE oil terminal on the coast. On vacation in Fujairah, you need to be prepared that occasionally "fuel oil misunderstandings" on the beaches are possible. Emirate hotels are trying to quickly recover from the consequences, but heels and swimwear sometimes have to be thoroughly washed.

However, this is almost the only minus of rest in Fujairah. For example, could you put the words “UAE” and “waterfall” next to each other? Not? And in Fujairah there are, as there are museums, traditional villages , the gold market and Friday Beach Bullfight .

Most hotels in the emirate of Fujairah work with the All Inclusive catering system and try to offer their guests the best range of services, "like in Turkey, only with the quality of the UAE." Choosing a vacation in Fujairah, it makes sense to pay extra for "All inclusive", since self-catering will not get more taste for the same price.

There are few hotels in Fujairah and they are all worthy of their prices. We suggest highlighting Miramar Al Aqah Beach Resort 5 *- as a great family run hotel in Moroccan style with animations and the best prices.

Tours in Abu Dhabi - the best chic

Abu Dhabi is the richest, greenest and most expensive emirate of the UAE. Vacation in Abu Dhabi is chosen for respectable, less noisy rest and business. The capital of the UAE, like Dubai, does not sleep 24 hours a day and offers a lot of nightlife. But vacation in Abu Dhabi has a special chic.

Luxury hotels, gold dust on desserts, limousines, boutiques and clubs, the best conference rooms, shopping, theme parks and an exciting excursion program - all these are the specialties of the Abu Dhabi holiday. Transfer from Dubai Airport (this is where all flights of tours in the UAE arrive) to Abu Dhabi hotels takes about 2 hours.

The main must see of rest in Abu Dhabi is the famous Sheikh Zayed Mosque ... One of the largest mosques in the world, it can accommodate 41,000 people at a time. Having visited the mosque, you will not only walk on the largest handmade carpet in the world, but also see a grandiose chandelier with a diameter of more than 10m.

Locals treat the Sheikh Zayed Mosque with trepidation and reverence. It was built in memory of the emir, thanks to whom the UAE became known throughout the planet. The entrance to the Mosque is free. We recommend visiting it in the evening - the illumination here is incredible.

From Ferrari World park neither men nor ladies will come out calm. Thanks to the world of Ferrari, men most often choose SeredinaLeta for a vacation in Abu Dhabi. It will be very interesting for schoolchildren in the park. In Ferrari World, in addition to incredible exhibits, cars, souvenirs and restaurants, there are the world's fastest roller coaster ... Well, the UAE and Ferrari could not fail to appropriate them!

45 water attractions are offered to visitors by the Yas Waterworld water park of Abu Dhabi. The water park is located on Yas Island next to the Formula 1 circuit. Yas Waterworld Waterpark strikes with brightness, scope and an incredible amount of adventure. Most water park enthusiasts consider Yas Waterworld to be the best in the UAE. Eh, do you love water slides as I love them?

Except for the November stage Formula 1 Grand Prix Abu Dhabi , the emirate hosts several more world events - for every taste, but always on a grand scale. The most famous world air show, the largest camel race in the East, an international arts festival ... Events are distributed throughout the year. It is difficult to get to Abu Dhabi during such events - hotels are booked in advance.

The all-inclusive system is not popular in Abu Dhabi. It is believed that the rest of a wealthy person is somewhat limited. If you are planning an All inclusive vacation in Abu Dhabi, welcome to Beach Rotana 5 *andYas Island Rotana 5 *... Most emirate hotels sell breakfast or breakfast + lunch accommodation.

The coastline of Abu Dhabi is indented by artificial islands. Most of the hotel beaches in the capital of the United Arab Emirates go into the internal canals of Abu Dhabi. The exception is Yas Island hotels. These hotels have beaches overlooking the open sea, but are located further from the main attractions of Abu Dhabi.

Which emirate of the UAE is better? We personally believe that each emirate is worth visiting and offers its own unique chips for a UAE holiday. SeredinaLeta's credo is not to return to the same place twice, because the world is huge. But vacations in the UAE can be so varied that both the second and third vacations can be perfectly spent without ever repeating themselves.

Really best prices for hotels

United Arab Emirates, a hospitable Middle Eastern country, offers excellent conditions for recreation at its resorts and beaches. Where to spend the time that we expect throughout the year in the UAE? Which city to spend time in - Sharjah, Fujairah or Dubai? We have prepared a short review that will help you decide on the answer to this question.

The richest emirate, just some 50 years ago, was a small village, is rightfully considered a place of "luxury" in all respects, recreation. All the most ambitious wonders of modern architecture are located here: the sail-shaped Burj Dubai hotel (by the way, a seven-star), the world's tallest skyscraper Burj Khalifa, palm-shaped bulk islands and much more. Why do tourists go to Dubai? The most exciting activity in this city is shopping. There is everything for this - huge malls and shopping malls, countless shops, whose windows are buried in gold.

If you came to this emirate just to relax - you are welcome to the spacious and wide beaches washed by the warm and transparent waters of the Persian Gulf. In addition, Dubai offers a variety of entertainment for every “taste and color”. Before traveling, plan your expenses in advance - an article on how much money to take with you to Dubai will help you with this.

Abu Dhabi

The beautiful and modern Middle Eastern city in the UAE is very popular with tourists. This is largely due to the fact that the authorities were able to incredibly harmoniously combine the beauty of the desert sands and man-made oases, of which there are many in the city and the abundance of greenery in which is simply surprising. Along with this, Abu Dhabi is full of modern skyscrapers, ideal roads and many restaurants and shops. Do not forget to visit the Gold Souk, just be careful - the incredible amount of gold sold there can cloud your mind ... or maybe not).

Umm al-Quwain

The main highlight of this emirate is the famous camel racing. If you are a gambling person, you can place your bet on this or that representative of this family of mammals and, if you're lucky, hit a good jackpot. If you are traveling with children, then you should definitely visit the DreamLand water park, the heart of which is an artificial volcano, outwardly indistinguishable from the real one, of course of a smaller size.

Fujairah

So, we got to the most that neither is the “beach” emirate. Fujira is located on the shores of the Gulf of Oman. In addition to the fabulous beaches, where you want to spend endless time, diving enthusiasts will find something to do here - swimming among bright corals and fish of all colors of the rainbow will bring great pleasure. If you have just embarked on the path of learning the basics of diving, local clubs will help you.

👁 Do we book the hotel as always on the booking? In the world, not only Booking exists (🙈 we pay for a high percentage from hotels!). I have been using Rumguru for a long time, it is really more profitable than 💰💰 Booking.
👁 And for tickets - to air sales, as an option. It has been known about him for a long time 🐷. But there is a better search engine - skyscanner - there are more flights, prices are lower! 🔥🔥.
