For centuries, this fascinating city has been a bustling

trading port. Traditional dhow sailing ships still line the

Dubai Creek as they have for hundreds of years. Once

the centre of the international spice trade, old Dubai has

been transformed over time into a thriving cosmopolitan

city that now does its trading from modern shopping

centres.

It is easy to see why people are attracted to Dubai. It is

a safe and secure destination with wonderful natural

assets like year-round sunshine, beautiful white sands on

endless beaches, and an exotic desert landscape.

Dubai is also an excellent base from which to explore

the other Emirates, the ancient Sultanate of Oman,

or simply relax on the white sandy beaches of the

Jumeirah coastline.

Steeped in the ancient culture and heritage of Arabia,

Abu Dhabi brings together old world tradition and

cosmopolitan sophistication. The capital city of the

United Arab Emirates and also the name of the largest

of the seven emirates Abu Dhabi was founded on trading

pearls and dates. These days the trading is in oil and

finance and as a result Abu Dhabi has emerged from a

humble desert settlement to a modern gleaming city.

Abu Dhabi offers something for everyone. With year

round sunshine, a vast desert interior, rugged mountains,

lush green oasis, miles of untouched coastline, over 200

off shore islands, outstanding luxury hotels and resorts

as well as modern shopping malls which sit alongside age

old souks.

institutions including the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, the louvre
