Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, sits off the mainland on an island in the Persian Gulf. The skyline's modern towers are home to shopping mega-centres such as Abu Dhabi and Marina malls. Dine at an 18 degrees incline in the world's furthest leaning tower, savour a romantic BBQ at Emirates Palace, enjoy 360 degrees city views from revolving restaurants or taste the masterful cuisine of Michelin-starred chefs! Perhaps enjoy the peace and tranquillity of a stroll through Al Ain's six cooling oases which were once a vital green oasis on the caravan route from UAE to Oman and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beneath the 82 white-marble domes of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque lies an immense Persian carpet, crystal chandeliers and capacity for 41,000 worshipers. The world's largest uninterrupted sand mass, the Rub Al Khali (Empty Quarter) will blow you away with massive expanses of awesome desert and enormous dunes. Almost a fairytale from '1001 nights', the magnificent Mirage Palace is a luxurious oasis in the midst of the desert which resembles an old Arabian fortress town nestled in the valley of mountainous dunes camel trekking, dune bashing, falconry shows and camp fire barbecues.
