A country of centuries-long traditions living among civilization, and the achievements of progress carefully cultivated in ancient lands, the United Arab Emirates offers tourists a whole spectrum of all sorts of attractions, excursions and interesting entertainments .Only half an hour separates the contemplation of the panorama of Dubai from the height of not even a bird's eye - almost an airplane flight of the observation platform of the Burj Khalifa skyscraper and a Bedouin dinner in the traditional tent of the nomadic peoples of the Arabian desert, where the silhouette of the modern city is only slightly visible beyond the dune horizon .And after spending the whole day in the lulling dimensional swinging of the camel's back, you can relax in one of the luxurious coastal SPA - the primitive and the 21st century in the UAE surprisingly harmoniously coexist .The

Thanks to a small area, which is easy to travel from end to end in a few hours, excursions in the Emirates - it's not a tedious task. And they are well tolerated by people with very different levels of physical fitness and strength of mind in general. The excursions offered in the country are the same for all emirates: for example, to go on a safari to the desert or a trip to the Indian Ocean, you can at least from Dubai, even from Umm al-Kuwain. True, the cost will be slightly different, and the time for the journey will be different.

Stare at civilization

The flight of scientific and technical thought and its direct embodiment is, perhaps, the main thing, what you want to open your mouth and look in the Emirates. After all, dunes, waves and mosques can be seen in a dozen other eastern countries (in addition, spending much less money for a trip), but man-made islands and seven-star hotels, a ski resort in the middle of a 50-degree desert and the tallest building in world except in the UAE anywhere you will not see.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the most popular tourist excursions are just "urban" ones: first of all, a trip to the capital of the country, the city of Abu Dhabi, and a visit to the dust-in-the-eye emirate of Dubai .As a rule, these excursions are held in the afternoon and include dinner; an additional plus - the opportunity to enjoy the evening panorama of the city with a lot of beautifully lit skyscrapers, and in Dubai - light and light show fountains .By the way, during these trips you can see many historical sights: archaeological parks, ancient forts and palaces of sheikhs .The

Dissolve in nature

Opportunities for exploring the landscapes in the UAE also have more than enough .Among the popular trips include all kinds of safaris on lifeless dunes on jeeps or camels (the program includes barbecue and folklore gatherings with nomads at the fire) ,excursion to old forts ,once serving to protect the borders of the emirates from the sea ,A walk along the Dubai Gulf on an elegant national dhow boat with a snow-white oblique sail ,like a cut-out stroke of the hands of a talented tailor (held in the evening, during the tour you can see the city's sky-scraped skyscrapers) ,Visit the island-reserve Sir-Bani-Yas and the oasis of Liva with some of the highest sand dunes on the peninsula The

We also recommend taking the opportunity to plunge into the waters of the Indian Ocean (day trip to the coast of the Gulf of Oman) and visit the largest water parks: Wild Wadi in Dubai and Dreamland in Ras Al Khaimah. Adherents of the water element can dive with scuba diving (about $ 70 per session, including delivery to the descent site), and animal lovers will be interested in a trip to the zoo "Wild World of Arabia" and visiting Sheik's Sheaf.

Plunge into shopping

It has long been known that shopping, coupled with the acquisition of the things that come to mind, have an extremely positive effect on our psyche. And if we add to this the exotic environment, then the miraculous effect will increase many times. To achieve full vacation catharsis, the UAE has created a whole shopping paradise in its small territory, and various excursions are offered for comfortable traveling.

Traveling to the shopping malls of Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, which are used by the tourists, are held usually in the morning, but the fun is often so prolonged that many people go back home "by taxi" .Shopping tours are extremely convenient because you do not need to move independently between shopping centers, and you are brought to the most-most popular and large malls .To the opportunity to comfortably make profitable purchases, add a lot of accompanying entertainment: from folklore performances and dinners in restaurants and cafes to large-scale festivals that take place virtually all year round .The
