Summary
The seven states making up the UAE, or United Arab Emirates, have shifted from desert kingdoms to world cities in little more than a generation. Construction is on a grand scale, whether that’s the artificial islands which form The Palm or the world’s tallest building in the Burj Khalifa. However, UAE guided tours can show you another vision too. Its one of ancient citadels almost untouched by time, camps among the sand dunes of its deserts and family-friendly entertainment from beaches and theme parks to shopping malls incorporating ski slopes and aquaria. If you can dream it, the UAE probably has it.
