For a country that was only formed in 1971, the UAE (or United Arab Emirates to give it its full name) hasn't half hogged the headlines with its overwhelming ambition and single minded pursuit of superlatives - the seven star hotel, the man made islands, the world's tallest tower.... Throw into the mix the three S's - that's sun, sea and shopping - and the fact that this dazzling desert kingdom is a none too arduous seven hour flight away, and it's easy to see why tourists are flocking to the UAE in their droves. Cheap holidays to the United Arab Emirates are even a thing now, so you don't have to empty your bank account to book a jolly here.
It hardly needs to be said that Dubai - a favourite with footballers and their wives - entertains the most tourists thanks to its sky scrapers, mega malls and world class restaurants, but away from the bling there are six other emirates that also have plenty to offer. The country's capital, Abu Dhabi, is only a short two hour drive south of Dubai. Closer still is Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain - two emirates offering a more traditional Arabian experience. Tucked away at the northern tip of the UAE lies Ras Al Khaimah where adventures seekers can scale the Hajar Mountains, while to the east is the emirate of Fujairah; here you'll find superb snorkelling and diving.
Even better, we have scores of exceptionally good value deals to the UAE meaning you can explore, enjoy and see for yourself the 'Cinderella story' of the travel industry - even if you don't boast the budget of a footballer's wife.
