The United Arab Emirates is a well-liked destination for anyone looking to combine a city getaway with some beach time because of the distinctive high-rise skylines of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, which are rimmed by long sandy shorelines.
But the UAE is more than just the modern glamour of its two largest cities. The heart of the nation, which is made up of desert and the Hajar Mountains, is all about expansive views of the sky and action-packed excursions, such as 4WD rides through a landscape of undulating dunes and the world’s longest zipline above Jebel Jais.
Famous tourist destinations like the soaring Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the Sheikh Zayed Mosque and Louvre in Abu Dhabi provide sightseeing options close to the city sand.
See our list of the top sights and activities in the United Arab Emirates for suggestions on where to go.-
1. Dubai’s Burj Khalifa
One of the most recognisable structures in the United Arab Emirates and Dubai’s towering skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa, is located there.
In addition to being the tallest building in the world (828 metres high), it also holds the records for the tallest freestanding structure, highest observation deck, and longest-distance elevator.
Most visitor itineraries include a journey up to the observation deck, which offers panoramic views throughout Dubai, to both marvel at this contemporary engineering and architectural achievement and to appreciate the breathtaking panoramas of Dubai spread out below you.
Address: Entry from Dubai Mall, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai
Official site: www.burjkhalifa.ae
Ticket price: from 149 AED
2. UAE Beach
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are the beaches with the most readily accessible city attractions, shopping, and amusement parks.
However, there are further beach possibilities outside of these two locations. On the eastern coast of the UAE, Al Aqah beach in the Emirate of Fujairah is a popular choice for beachgoers looking to escape the throng. The beach resorts of Ras Al-Khaimah and Ajman are particularly popular city retreats.
3. Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Mosque
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is a massive, gorgeous new mosque. The mosque successfully combines modern design with traditional workmanship, using both current and antiquated methods and styles to produce a fresh perspective of Islamic architecture.
The prayer hall is furnished with the largest hand-knotted carpet in the world (5,700 square metres), and it is lit by crystal and 24-karat gold lamps. Outside, the huge marble courtyard features a massive floor mosaic of whirling, flowery designs made of semi-precious stones.
Address: Al Khaleej al Arabi Street, Abu Dhabi
Ticket Price : FREE

4. UAE’s Desert Landscapes
For those with a thirst towards adventure, head straight for the southern interior desert regions of the United Arab Emirates.
There are several adventure activities available, including 4WD desert dune tours, camel treks, sandboarding, and dune buggy excursions.
The desert interiors of the emirates of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Ras Al-Khaimah are also home to a number of luxury desert resorts, where stays are all about soaking up the dune scenery and heading out on desert activities.
Price : 100 AED to 1000 AED
5. Jebel Jais in Ras Al-Khaimah
The Jebel Jais Flight, the longest zipline in the world, which descends the peak’s slope over two kilometres at up to 120 kilometre per hour, is the most well-liked mountain activity in this area.
From the viewing platform terrace near the summit, you may take in the scenery of the craggy Hajar Mountain peaks cascading down to the coastal plateau, or you can choose to complement those views with some adventurous sports.
While independent hikers can select from six clearly indicated trails on the lower portions of the mountain, Jebel Jais’s Via Ferrata climbing route offers guided tours during the cooler months for those seeking fewer speed thrills and more time in the mountains.
Ticket Price : AED 350 to 1000
Official site: https://visitjebeljais.com/
7. Theme Parks –
The four largest theme parks in Dubai are combined into one by Dubai Parks & Resorts: Motiongate, which features attractions inspired by Hollywood movies; Bollywood Parks; Legoland Dubai; and Legoland Water Park.
In addition, the city is home to MG Worlds of Adventure, which features attractions, roller coasters, and experiences based on Marvel storylines and characters for older children and Cartoon Network for younger children.
Two of the nation’s most well-known branded theme parks are located in Abu Dhabi, both on Yas Island. While Warner Bros. World provides six worlds to explore, from Cartoon Junction for young children to Metropolis and Gotham City with rides and attractions themed around DC Comic tales, Ferrari World is a thrill-paradise seeker’s with the fastest roller coaster as its signature ride.
8. Road Trip up Jebel Hafeet
Jebel Hafeet is the second highest peak in the UAE, and far-reaching, sumptuous panoramas across the mountain’s reaches and down to Al Ain greet you all the way up to the top on the winding road.
One of the most well-liked locations for a short and simple nature break outside of Abu Dhabi city is Jebel Hafeet, which is on the outskirts of the oasis city of Al Ain. The cool mountain air at the summit also provides relief from the summertime heat at the coast.
You are rewarded for your effort when you reach the summit of the winding switchback mountain road and can look out over the enormous expanse of desert that extends in all directions.
10. Dhow Rides on Dubai Creek
The most recognisable views of Dubai are still those taken from the ocean, even though the Burj Khalifa can give you the famed skyline view from a great height.
The most ideal way to experience Dubai is from one of the stunning dhows (traditional Arabic boats) that patrol the creek, which cuts through the city. Visitors particularly like sunset cruises, which frequently include entertainment and meals and allow them to see the high-rise buildings’ lights start to glimmer as the sun sets.
But if you want a budget cruise, you can just board one of the ablas (local ferries), which run between Bur Dubai and Deira.
Ticket Price : AED 45 (INR 964)
10. Louvre Abu Dhabi
The Louvre Abu Dhabi is the most impressive museum in the United Arab Emirates, takes tourists on a tour through human history.
The complex’s stark and ultra-modern architecture, created by award-winning architect Jean Nouvel, is a lure in and of itself, regardless of your interest in world history or art.
Address: Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi
Ticket Price : AED 31 to 63
