UAE - Playground of the Middle East

The United Arab Emirates is a constitutional federation of seven emirates - Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Qaiwain, Ras al-Khaimah and Fujairah. The two states known as Dubai and Abu Dhabi are the most famous of the UAE because of their phenomenal growth development in recent years. This development was aimed at not only placing the two states at the forefront of the tourist trade but for also putting them in the front lines of the Midwestern nations. Bordered by several major gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar the immediate area has a history which is rich in tribal war and upheaval. UAE’s aims have been to downgrade its past and attract tourists into their country while presenting a positive side of the gulf countries.

The UAE has everything needed for an unforgettable vacation, sun, sand, sea, sports, unbeatable shopping, top-class hotels and restaurants, an ancient and traditional culture, and a safe and welcoming environment. Dubai represents the leading tourist destination and is the home for many state of the art and extremely luxurious upscale hotels and city skyscrapers. Dubai has already actually established its own airline which tends to cater towards visitors and tourists that arrive in the country. It is known as the Etihad. Abu Dhabi is oozing with modernization and development is continually taking place as the area grows and prospers. Modern skyscrapers have become commonplace sights within the city and represents significant achievements for the country as a whole. Although both of these cities have pushed greatly to become a modern 20th century refuge for tourists they have both succeeded in still preserving the various traces of their past which is meant to serve as a reminder for its people of where they have originated from.

There are several important and noteworthy attractions within the UAE which should not be past up on any visit to the area. Foremost are the 200 Islands which are located in Abu Dhabi including Belghilam Island. This island is famous as a breeding ground for many families of gazelle. You should naturally ride a boat around the islands and discover what each island has to offer to its annual visitors. You can readily find a very wide stretch of coastline that is available for the sea loving visitors near the harbor of Dibba ad Khor Kalba. Perhaps you and your family would care to visit the Palm Island of Dubai which is believed to be very visible even when the island is viewed from the moon. You can experience a certain amount of personal pride as you set foot upon the Palm Island as this island is considered to be the world’s largest manmade island in existence.

Te counties of the UAE are placing a high priority on future development but at the same time rediscovering their past through archaeology, restoring old buildings, building museums and establishing indigenous wildlife parks.
