Holiday Packages to the UAE

Things to Do in the UAE 

Attractions you should visit to make the most of your holiday in the UAE.   

• Go to the Burj Khalifa: Experience the globe’s tallest building while you’re in Dubai. To get great views of the city, desert and sea, make your way to the viewing deck. 

• Relaxing time on the beach: Soft sand and clear water can be found on many of the UAE’s beautiful beaches. If you want to sunbathe or swim in the quiet, Jumeirah Beach in Dubai and Saadiyat Beach in Abu Dhabi are your best choices. 

• Go for a tour in the desert: Have a great time in the desert riding dunes, riding camels, sandboarding and eating a BBQ dinner as you look up at the stars. A visit to the Acropolis should be on your list if you’ve never been to Greece before. 

• Shopping at the big malls or classic souks: Shopping in the UAE goes beyond the big malls—it includes window-shopping in gold and spice markets too. 

• The Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is considered one the world’s most beautiful buildings. You won’t pay admission and can enjoy the beautiful, calming Islamic architecture. 

• Visit the theme parks: Among the UAE’s attractions are famous theme parks such as Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World and Legoland. They’re especially good for people travelling with children or for anyone who enjoys rides and shows. 

• Experience a boat cruise: See Dubai’s or Abu Dhabi’s skylines or coastlines by hopping on a traditional boat or a big luxury yacht. 

History, Culture, and Nightlife in the UAE 

History: Thousands of years of history make the UAE’s story both enduring and beautiful. Desert Bedouin and those who settled along the coast were living in the region long before it was known for high-rise buildings. Many came to the area to fish, dive for pearls and trade. Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood in Dubai and Qasr Al Hosn in Abu Dhabi are great places to visit to understand the past of the United Arab Emirates. They show us how everyday life was before oil shaped the country. 

Culture: Emirati people value hospitality, respect and family in their everyday life. Travellers will find that religion forms a big part of daily Dubai, thanks to eye-catching mosques and the call to prayer. You can still find Arabic coffee serving, henna designs and falconry around the region. If you go to a cultural centre or museum, you can participate in tasks or get familiar with the region’s customs. Despite being modern and connected with the world, the UAE doesn’t forget about its culture. 

Nightlife: You’ll find buzzing nightlife mainly in cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the UAE. Though the country is Muslim, alcohol can be found on hotel and beach club menus. Whether you visit for a view, music, dancing or a nice café, these are popular attractions. Many people go to Soho Garden, WHITE Dubai and Buddha-Bar. If you’d rather have a calmer night, you can choose from nighttime restaurants or stroll along the water. Party animals and peaceful travellers alike will find a spot for fun in the UAE.
