Ramadan 06 Jun-07 Jul 16 A month where foreigners tend to shy away from the Middle Eastern world, Ramadan time should not be feared. Although it is a month of fasting and reﬂection for the Islamic world, the daily Iftar (breaking of fast) at sunset is a celebration, with bigger hotels often putting on lavish spreads with entertainment for all. Holidaymakers during this time will benefit from Ramadan discounts on offer by the hotels and throughout the shopping malls. Ramadan ends with the festival of Eid al-Fitr, where the locals dress in their finest and adorn their houses with lights and decorations.

On the south-eastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula lies an exotic collection of kingdoms that make up the United Arab Emirates. The majority of the seven Emirates is sand but it is the oil that lies beneath their lands that has fuelled their extraordinary development. Today they offer a fascinating potpourri of Arabian charm and western modernity that has definitely made them one of the hottest destinations to visit in recent years. Best known among the seven are Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Dubai is extravagant in every way and is a city where the dynamics are always transient and ever-changing with its constant urge to construct something better and bigger than the previous. The contrasts here are breath-taking, you can ride a camel near the city and watch traditional wooden dhows sailing past the newest architectural marvels. Dubai, a city on a mission, is where one can visit year after year and know that there will always be something new to see and where something will always impress. Abu Dhabi, the largest of the Emirates and the political capital, refers to itself as a ‘destination of distinction’. Priding itself on its culture, there are fascinating museums and art galleries, to the spectacular Yas Island, the region’s entertainment hub. Yas Marina Circuit is home to the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, whilst the Yas Marina and Yacht Club played host to a race-leg of the great Volvo Ocean Race in January 2015. Although Abu Dhabi’s mark on the tourism scene has not been as rapid as its neighbouring Emirate, it is a city that of late has become a truly remarkable one. With fantastic hotels, amazing cuisine, a wide range of retail store shopping and desert safaris, the United Arab Emirates is an area of opulence and culture. You can be sure of one thing, choose to visit any of the Emirates and a world of options await you.

Dubai Glamourous hotels, glitzy sky scrapers, extravagantly themed malls, man-made islands and a dazzling array of dining options is what makes Dubai a city like no other in the world. Unique in its own special way, Dubai is a pulsating city and the proud owner of the world’s tallest building. Under the cosmetics however another Dubai still exists, head to the old city centre and witness this. Old traditional Arabian houses line the creek, along with an array of dhows in the water (traditional wooden boats), and a mish mash of old style souqs filled with local people looking for a bargain. Look beyond this metropolis though and find a city that is surrounded by never ending dunes and a shore line home to impressive beaches and well known five star hotels.

Our favourite things to see and do BURJ KHALIFA – Put your fears aside for the day and visit Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. Towering at over 828 metres and with more than 160 stories, this is the ideal skyscraper to get magnificent 360 degree views of Dubai city. The journey begins in the lower ground level of The Dubai Mall which is another highlight in itself. THE WALK – This popular and bustling waterfront promenade in Jumeirah Beach Residence is well worth a visit. With a mix of Western and Arabic entertainment it is home to chic art galleries, boutique cafés, restaurants and shops. If you visit on a Friday, be sure to opt for a Friday Brunch which is a new trendy craze for expats. BASTAKIYA QUARTER – Head to the Old Quarter, Dubai’s historic heart and wind your way through the narrow white-washed lanes overlooked by traditional Arabian Courtyards. In the courtyards you’ll find cute garden cafés along with boutique art galleries showcasing local art. Soak up the atmosphere and leave the allure of modern Dubai behind. THE DUBAI MALL – Not to be missed is the largest shopping and entertainment district in the world. Home to over 1000 retail stores and over 160 food and beverage outlets, you’ll need at least a day to explore here. Be sure to wander by the illuminated Dubai Aquarium, a key focal point holding 10 million litres of water and over 33,000 species. Outside of the mall witness The Dubai Fountain in all its glory shooting water jets as high as 150 metres. ARABIAN DESERT – No visit to the Emirate is complete without a visit to the desert. Be it dune bashing, sand-boarding or a night under the stars, the Arabian Desert offers a truly magnificent experience. The stunning dunes and ancient landscape will truly take your breath away. DUBAI CREEK & SOUQS – Enjoy an abra (wooden water taxi) ride across Dubai Creek for as little as NZD$1, before heading into the spice, textile and gold souqs, an Arabic term for marketplace. Commonly where the locals shop - be prepared to haggle! The bustling atmosphere, delicate silks, glittering gold, pungent perfumes and aroma of spices in the air will definitely showcase a different world.

Abu Dhabi Fortunate with year-round sunshine, pristine beaches and spectacular sand dunes, this rapidly developing metropolis and archipelagic Emirate, is well worth a visit. Dotted with nearly 200 islands along its coast and characterised by its signature Corniche, with its great views of the gulf, it’s the place to be seen. Iconic to this cultural capital is the picturesque Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, dubbed the world’s most expensive mosque in the world, next the Emirates Palace, a hotel that showcases extravagance to the extreme and is often mistaken as the presidential palace. Not to be outshone by its neighbour, Abu Dhabi will also soon be home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, both set to sit on the once uninhabited Saadiyat Island.

Our favourite things to see and do SHEIKH ZAYED GRAND MOSQUE – Considered one of the largest mosques in the world, this majestic structure amplifies beauty. Featuring 80 domes and over 1000 striking white and gold columns, the mosque is beautifully reflected in the surrounding pools. No detail has been left untouched, intricate and delicate mosaics gleam in the light, while 24-carat gold gilded chandeliers shimmer. A visit to this mosque should be high on your list, open daily except Friday mornings, remember to dress conservatively. CAMEL RACING – For something a little more unusual and not seen in the western world, check out a camel race. Cheer on the camels as they gallop around a specially made course. You’ll be surprised at the high speeds that they can reach! HERITAGE VILLAGE – Step back in time before the discovery of oil and get an insight into Arabian life that once was. As you wander through this replica traditional oasis village, you’ll see craftsmen pounding at brass, blowing out glass, shaping and molding clay whilst the women sit weaving and spinning. You’ll also find a small souq, a Bedouin camp where you can take a camel ride and an intriguing fort museum with lots of memorabilia. CAPITAL GATE – Certified as the ‘Worlds Furthest Leaning Manmade Tower’, by Guinness World Records, this architectural marvel is worth a photograph. Standing tall at 160 metres, the tower leans 18 degrees westwards – four times more than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The Hyatt Capital Gate can also be found in this tower. AL-AIN – Considered part of the Abu Dhabi state, Al-Ain is often referred to as the ‘Garden City of the Gulf’ due to its many oases, parks and tree-lined streets. It’s worth a visit with many attractions.
