This presentation will give you an insight to what to see and do when visiting the UAE and its surrounding countries. Whether its relaxing in the desert watching the sun set or driving over the sand dunes in a 4x4, I'm sure something will take your fancy...

Burj Khalifa ‘One of the most iconic buildings of the UAE’ and

known for its magnificent height of 830 meters and 163 floors giving you a panoramic view of Dubai makes it currently the tallest building in the world making it an ‘un-missable experience’.

Dubai Mall Being the largest mall in the world with more than 1,200 shops and reaching a record of 5 million visitors in one month it would be crazy to miss going. It has the worlds largest Aquarium & Worlds largest sweet shop Candylicious, ‘a child’s idea of heaven’.

Dubai Fountains Dubai Fountains is situated in an iconic area, beneath the Burj Khalifa and on the door step to the Dubai Mall. ‘Mesmerising to watch’, It lights up at night ‘dancing’ to well know English and Arabic songs such as ‘Celine Dion’ making it a must see when visiting.

Dune Bashing If you dare to try out Dune bashing, you will not regret it. Discover Dubai and the UAE with this thrilling experience being thrown over the sand dunes and stopping at various places to take in the magnificent setting. ‘Amazing, but would defiantly recommend not to eat before’

Sunset BBQ This perfect setting couldn’t be a better way to end to a day. Situated in the middle of the desert and accompanied by an Arabian buffet and entertainment such as Henna and Belly Dancing and stargazing after watching a beautiful sunset, cant get much better. ‘A magical night to always remember’

Oman Boat Trip This peaceful trip around the Musandam Peninsula shouldn't be missed, relaxing on board feeding the fish, spotting dolphins to snorkel in the crystal clear blue waters with plenty of time to soak in the surrounding scenery, what’s not to like? ‘A great family outing enjoyed by everyone’

Downtown Dubai Whether you’re ready to buy or not, a wander through the dazzling Gold Souk and Herb Market is a must. The government keeps control over the quality of all the products, so rest assured that your purchases will be genuine. The same cannot be said, for the street traders selling "genuine fake" watches and "Guuci" handbags.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque The Capital of the UAE it is a key place for worship in the country. Named after the late President of the UAE and 8th largest in the world, the mosque is a place for visitors to admire the architecture and appreciate the UAE's heritage. It’s also a place for non-muslim’s to gain a stronger understanding of the Islamic faith.

‘You can do, play, participate in pretty much anything here and, there are some fine, high-end outlets for dining’. With one of the main attractions being the Karting without fail this will get your heart pumping with speeds up to 70mph. There is also Shooting, Paintball and Equestrian if you don't fancy Karting.

The United Arab Emirate's flag proudly stood outside the Prince of Dubai’s palace on the Al Sufouh road. The white represents peace and honesty, Red hardiness, bravery & strength, Green; hope, joy and love and Black is to the defeat of enemies.
