United Arab Emirates
A quick getaway for those looking for winter sun.
Steal some time with our travel expert and carefully piece together a masterpiece of a trip that lets you try all of the indulgent and grand experiences. Established in 1971, the country of the United Arab Emirates or UAE is a federation of seven emirates comprising Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain. The United Arab Emirates is a great family holiday destination, particularly for those in search of winter sun.
Why we like UAE
The UAE is the closest point to the UK for almost guaranteed winter sunshine and offers hotels to match every requirement. The standard of service is superb and with international chefs to oversee the menus, the restaurants offer a tantalising array of differing foods. It is a perfect destination for children who love nothing better than huge swimming pools and plenty of other children to play with.
What to expect on your UAE holiday
Following the financial crash of 2008, it was the oil-rich capital of Abu Dhabi that came through relatively unscathed and effectively bailed out its not-so-rich neighbours. It now appears that Abu Dhabi has become the region’s cultural heart, with the Sheikh Zayed National Museum as well as extensions of the Louvre and the Guggenheim now fully open.
Aside from these cultural masterpieces, you will find all kinds of fun synonymous with playgrounds of the rich, including Ferrari World (the world’s largest indoor amusement park), an indoor ski centre, hot air ballooning, desert excursions by quad bike and manmade surfing, and a kayaking and rafting centre.
