United Arab Emirates travel guides and inspiration

The United Arab Emirates blends futuristic ambition with desert heritage, creating a destination that defies simple categorisation. These travel guides explore both Dubai — the gleaming metropolis of superlatives and world records — and Abu Dhabi — the more traditional capital with its grand mosques and cultural institutions. You’ll find practical visitor information for major attractions like Aquaventure World (the world’s largest water park), immersive experiences such as Aya Universe, and unique encounters including watching camels train for races and visiting the remarkable Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital, where these prized birds receive world-class veterinary care.

Abu Dhabi offers compelling experiences beyond Dubai’s glitz — from the high-speed thrills of Ferrari World (with advice on the best day to visit) to family-friendly attractions like Yas Waterworld and Emirates Park Zoo. There’s also practical guidance for visiting Abu Dhabi in February with children, helping families navigate the climate and choose appropriate activities. Whether you’re drawn to observation decks like The View at the Palm, underwater worlds such as the Lost World aquarium, or desert safaris and cultural experiences, these guides provide the ticket prices, opening hours, and honest assessments that help you plan efficiently. More UAE travel stories will be added soon.
