The discovery of oil in Abu Dhabi in the mid-20th century turned what was once a disparate region of nomadic desert communities and pearl diving villages into the global powerhouse of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with seven emirates becoming one nation in 1971. Our specialists know the country intimately and can recommend the best places to explore the golden opulence of the modern cities, the deep-rooted desert trading culture, and the arid, mountainous landscape.
Once you’ve admired futuristic architecture such as the sky-skimming Burj Khalifa or the manmade archipelago of The Palm, we can help you venture deeper into four of the seven emirates. You’ll experience lesser-visited sights in ways that match your interests, be that hiking the mountains of Ras Al Khaimah, glamping within the dunes of the Arabian Desert, exploring the laid-back culture of Abu Dhabi with a local guide, or exploring the historic properties of Fujairah.
