United Arab Emirates

Book Your Dream Holiday to the UAE with Thorne Travel

The United Arab Emirates is a destination like no other. Sitting on the edge of the Persian Gulf, this modern Middle Eastern country is made up of seven unique emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Ajman and Umm Al Quwain. Each one offers something different – from world-famous landmarks and luxury resorts to quiet beaches and rich cultural heritage.

Dubai is known for its futuristic skyline, luxury shopping and the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa. Just down the road, Abu Dhabi mixes tradition and modern design, home to the impressive Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Louvre Abu Dhabi. Sharjah is the cultural capital, full of museums, markets and Islamic architecture. Ras Al Khaimah offers dramatic mountain scenery, hiking trails and adventure parks, while Fujairah brings you clean beaches and coral reefs perfect for diving. For a slower pace, Ajman and Umm Al Quwain offer peaceful stretches of coast, mangroves and local charm.

The UAE is perfect for a luxury beach break, a cultural escape, or a mix of both. Enjoy desert safaris, waterparks, street food, fine dining, historic forts, and some of the most impressive hotels in the world. From romantic getaways to family adventures, every kind of holiday is possible here.

Whether you’re visiting for the sunshine, the architecture, the history or the world-class entertainment, the UAE promises unforgettable memories in every emirate.
