Dubai, Abu Dhabi — futuristic skylines, desert safaris and luxury redefined.
✦ Plan My UAE TripThe UAE is one of the world's most ambitious travel destinations. Dubai has built the impossible — the world's tallest building, an indoor ski slope in the desert, artificial islands visible from space — and somehow it works. Abu Dhabi balances the spectacle with more cultural depth: the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is one of the world's great buildings. The desert is always close — dune bashing, camel riding and Bedouin camp experiences are a 45-minute drive from the city.
