There are many reasons to visit the United Arab Emirates. The small Persian Gulf nation is home to the tallest building in the world, some of the most extravagant hotels in the world, and a combination of tradition and innovation that is almost unique in the world. Every Emirates of UAE has incredible reasons to visit, each offering something each unique. With air charter options available today, there are more ways to go than ever before.

1. Ajman and Umm Al-Quwain

Ajman

While they may not compare to their counterparts in regard to “fanfare” and being the leading city the UAE, Ajman and Umm Al-Quwain offer a different kind of experience that makes them just as much worth a visit. Ajman offers history and wonderful beaches.

The Ajman Museum gives some more context about the history of the United Arab Emirates, as it is situated in the old Ajman Fort. Therefore, a family visiting the UAE can spend the day at Dreamland Aqua Park, in Umm Al-Quwain, which is one of the largest water parks in the world, as well as amusingly shift their time to the beach on the same day.

2. Fujairah

Fujairah

On the east coast of the UAE, there is only emirate: Fujairah. Fujairah is one of the most beautiful in the nation geographically. The emirate’s mountains frame the two sides of this emirate and offers beautiful beaches. Perfectly contrasting both aspects of Fujairah. The waters here are crystal clear and filled with sea life, making it a wonderful destination for snorkelers, and those who love the water.

This coastal resort location is just a one and a half-hour drive from Dubai, making it easy to come for just the day, return to the hotel in the evening. However, you may just want to stay at one of the upscale resorts located in this area rather than just come to the beach.

3. Dubai

Dubai

Dubai is one of the most recognizable cities in the world and is what draws many people to the United Arab Emirates. Dubai’s list of attractions is far from limited. Seven of its tallest buildings showcase the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, along with spice markets, cementing this city as a top destination.

The compelling dichotomy between religious culture and modernity make this location a visit everyone must make at least once in their life. A visit here allows tourists to visit the world’s largest mall, the only 7-star hotel in the world, and still see mosques, and begin to understand a city that has grown so quickly without losing its roots.

4. Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE and the largest emirate at approximately 87% of the country. It is home to one of the most beautiful mosques on earth, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, which invites all nationalities and any background to visit. The mosque is open to all people. While you can visit the mosque for the beauty of the architecture, once you enter the mosque, you will be expected to follow the rules of proper dress code. You will not only visit the beautiful architecture but will also learn about some of the culture of Islam.

Located in Abu Dhabi is the Yas Viceroy Hotel, which has an accompanying Formula 1 racing circuit that hosts world-renowned racing events. Less than 20 minutes from the Yas Viceroy is Ferrari World, an indoor amusement park dedicated to the revered automobile maker. The emirate has expanded rapidly and continues to expand its long list of established world records and attractions.

5. Sharjah

 Sharjah

Although being a northern city in the UAE, Sharjah does not have the renowned attractions of Dubai or Abu Dhabi, but it is still worth a visit. The Sharjah Natural History Museum is probably the city’s most popular attraction, and you can learn about the animals and plants that inhabit the Arabian Desert.

This is a marvelous experience in itself, reminding us of the UAE once being a desert, although now full of skyscrapers. Another tourist destination in itself, Sharjah’s Blue Souk, is a very unique building, and you will notice just how much residents and tourists love to come to this site. Here you can also shop for things in traditional shops, like a market.

6. Ras Al Khaimah

Ras Al Khaimah

For a destination that is not in the city, Ras Al Khaimah is an ideal emirate with many upscale beach resorts, in particular, Banyan Tree, that offer beachfront rooms and swimming pools, and is one of the most popular spots for Emirates of UAE residents to visit for the weekends.

Dhayah Fort is not only one of the several famous historical ruins that exist in the emirate. Ras Al Khaimah also contains ghost towns, like Jazirat Al-Hamra, where people abandoned the area a long time ago believing that the area was haunted.
