About United Arab Emirates Tourism: A conglomeration of seven emirates, the United Arab Emirates is a West Asian country with a rich Arab culture. It entices locals and tourists alike with its stunning architecture, heritage sites, religious establishments, expansive deserts, beaches, and other attractions. UAE tour packages from Holidify are an excellent way to experience what was once a fishing centre and is now a global symbol of modernity.
What forms the UAE are Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Dubai, Fujairah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah and Umm Al Quwain. Abu Dhabi, the capital city and a former fishing village, is dotted with historical and modern attractions. One of its major landmarks is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque that adequately represents its Islamic roots.
Desert safaris are a must in Abu Dhabi, as are visits to the Qasr Al Muwaiji and Al Jahili Fort. Visit Heritage Village to know about life in the UAE before discovering oil, or go to Miraj Museum to learn about Islamic art. Given the city’s impressive amusement parks, UAE holiday packages often offer you a day of fun at Yas WaterWorld, Hili Fun City, etc.
Known as the “Cultural Capital of the Arab World,” Sharjah is well-known for its historical and traditional charms. The Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization will please history buffs with exhibits on the region’s traditions and artefacts. Furthermore, if you love museums, head over to the Heritage Area that comprises the Bait al-Naboodah, Sharjah Heritage Museum, Al Hisn Fort etc. The Al Noor Mosque is another attraction to see!
With its gardens and the Arabian Wildlife Centre with its biodiversity, the Al Noor Island makes for fun excursions. Ajman, the smallest emirate, is synonymous with scenic views. With their long shoreline, beaches like Al Zorah and Al Hamriya offer plenty of opportunities to relax and engage in water sports. Make sure to visit the Al Jarah Cultural Center to get an idea about the city’s origins.
No trip to the UAE would seem complete without seeing the magnificent Dubai, a mix of the modern and ancient. It is undoubtedly known for the Burj Khalifa, but other attractions that you should visit are the Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Fountain and Al Bastakiya. And of course, a desert safari is a must; you get to ride camels, stay in bedouins, go dune bashing and enjoy traditional performances.
While malls like the Dubai Mall and City Centre Ajman are great for shopping, you can become a part of UAE’s heritage by buying souvenirs from souqs like the Blue Souk and Souk Central Market! And don’t forget to try local dishes like Al Machboos, Khuzi and Knafeh. Holidify’s UAE tour packages are customisable, affordable and suitable for solo or group travellers, thus assuring you of a remarkable trip!
