Dubai | City of Gold
Dubai is a city that holds a certain aura of splashy luxury and over-the-top extravagances. Everything about this glittering city is over the top, from the world’s most luxurious hotel (7 stars), the world’s tallest building, to the world’s largest shopping mall and the world’s largest man-made island. Yet in the midst of this vibrant cosmopolitan city, Dubai is a city that is very much in tune with it’s heritage and it’s humble beginnings as a small fishing village. It is this difference between constantly looking to the future and yet honoring the past that has created an exciting dynamic that has appealed to tourists around the globe.
Abu Dhabi | Garden City of the Gulf
Abu Dhabi, known as the cultural heart of the United Arab Emirates, is a luxury metropolis with glittering architecture, opulent hotels, high-end restaurants and expansive shopping malls catered to the well-heeled traveler. Although relatively more constrained than it’s famous neighbor, this emirate offers a more laid back ambiance and the opportunity to be immersed in the local culture.
