Apart from its modern attractions, Abu Dhabi offers the opportunity to experience traditional desert
life. Visit the Heritage Village on Marina Mall Island and explore its classic souk, mosque, and
camp. You can also head to Qasr Al Hosn, Abu Dhabi’s oldest building and now a museum.
Just outside the city center, you can get closer to nature by venturing off to Mangrove National Park.
Another must-visit is Jebel Hafit (also spelled as Jebel Hafeet). This is Abu Dhabi’s tallest peak and
the UAE’s second-highest, and it offers stunning views of Al Ain.
Speaking of Al Ain — the Al Ain Oasis is also a destination you must include in your Abu Dhabi
itinerary. It’s a tranquil retreat that sits on a 1,200-hectare of land and is home to over 147,000 date
palms. It’s a UNESCO Cultural Site known for preserving ancient falaj irrigation channels.
In Al Dhafra, the mystic expanse of the Empty Quarter is an alluring spot to visit. As the largest
continuous sand desert in the world (parts of it are under Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen
territories), there are plenty of interesting things to do here, like camel riding and camping.

Truly deserving of this spot, Dubai offers a plethora of experiences for tourists.
From being a small fishing village, Dubai has transformed into a city that seamlessly blends the old
and the new, the city and the nature.
Visit Dubai Old Town — located on the banks of Dubai Creek — for a trip through the city’s
history. The Gold Souk is particularly popular if you want to buy gold or experience the city’s
jewelry market firsthand. Got more time? Add Hatta Heritage Village to your itinerary. Apart from
