One of the fastest-growing countries in the world, the UAE is a tricky place to pin down. Settled in the Persian Gulf, its seven emirates provide a whirlwind of futuristic cityscapes, sun-baked desert and mountain scenery.
The picturesque coast has pushed the country forward as a five-star beach destination, with up-and-coming resorts like Ras Al Khaimah settling luxury hotels and yachting marinas on its silky white shores.
Next door to Ras Al Khaimah, you have Dubai. The UAE’s poster child, Dubai has spent the past couple of decades creating world record breakers from its sand-dusted traditions, boasting the biggest structure in the world, the largest shopping malls and the most luxurious hotels – and creating one of the world’s most stylish, diverse and exciting cities in the process.
