The UAE is a country draped in history and Islamic culture, on the one hand, and is home to the greatest glitz and glamour, on the other.
Observe the local history and art at the various museums and palaces across the region. Places of interest include the Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum House, Al Ain Fort and Museum, Sharjah Heritage Area, Hatta Heritage Village and Al-Hosn Palace.
For an evening of fun, drop by at the Hili Fun City, a theme park; the Wild Wadi Water Park; and the Arabian Towers, Royal Mirage Hotel.
Indulge in some shopping at the local souks; a great place to stop for some gold and gold jewellery is the famous Deira Gold Souq.
A land of extremes, you can either head to the desert and take a desert safari and go dune bashing or make for the coastline and spend the day sailing, fishing, snorkelling and scuba diving.
