The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven states situated between Saudi Arabia and Oman. Dubai has evolved to a top touristic destination, whereas the capital Abu Dhabi has lately claimed its own share of deluxe publicity by constructing artificial islands such as Yas, the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum, as well as an enormous Guggenheim, signed by star architects.
But if you want to break out of the luxurious comfort zone, then you should opt for Sharjah for its lovely traditional bazaars or Ras Al-Khaiman with its immaculate beaches along the Persian Gulf. Fujaira also features beautiful waters along the Gulf of Oman behind enchanting mountains, while the very small Ajman and Umm Al Quwain are of no particular touristic interest.
