About United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates — Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah — formed in 1971 on the Arabian Peninsula's Persian Gulf coast, bordering Saudi Arabia and Oman. Abu Dhabi is the federal capital and the largest emirate by area, while Dubai is the country's best-known international hub. Arabic is the official language, though English functions as a working second language throughout the country, especially in business and tourism; the currency is the UAE dirham (AED).

Geographically, the UAE is mostly desert, but that's not the whole picture — the Hajar Mountains run along its eastern edge near the Omani border, giving emirates like Fujairah and the Hatta exclave of Dubai genuine mountain terrain and wadis alongside the flat gravel and dune desert that dominates the interior. The population is also distinctive: the large majority of UAE residents are foreign nationals rather than Emirati citizens, a legacy of the rapid development that turned Dubai and Abu Dhabi into global business and tourism hubs over the past few decades.

Voyzo's UAE coverage centers on Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the two largest and most visited emirates, plus day trips to Al Ain — a UNESCO-listed oasis city near the Oman border — and Hatta, Dubai's mountainous exclave. Each city or day trip runs as a private tour with your own driver and vehicle, from desert safaris and dune bashing to heritage sites and mountain scenery, rather than group excursions.

Plan Your Visit

Know Before You Go — United Arab Emirates

Best Time to Visit

November through March brings the UAE's mild, dry season (roughly 18–30°C / 64–86°F depending on the emirate), the best window for desert safaris, city sightseeing, and mountain day trips. Summer (June–September) is extremely hot, often exceeding 40–45°C (104–113°F), pushing most outdoor activity to early morning or evening.

Getting Around

Dubai and Abu Dhabi each have their own major sights spread across the city, and destinations like Al Ain and Hatta are 90 minutes to two hours away by road with no practical public transit connection — a private vehicle and driver is the standard way to see them.

Weather & What to Pack

Even in cooler months, daytime sun is intense — sun protection is worth packing year-round — while desert evenings, especially at Hatta's higher elevation, can turn noticeably cool.

Money & Tipping

The UAE uses the dirham (AED). Cards are widely accepted in cities; tipping 10–15% for guides and drivers is appreciated though not strictly mandatory.

Language

Arabic is the official language, but English is spoken widely enough — by residents, businesses, and signage — that it functions as an everyday second language across the country.

Local Etiquette

Dress modestly at religious and heritage sites (the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi requires covered shoulders and legs, and a headscarf for women), and be aware that public conduct standards are more conservative than in much of the West.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About United Arab Emirates

4–6 days covers Dubai and Abu Dhabi well, with a day added for Al Ain or Hatta if you want to see the desert oasis or mountain side of the country rather than just its cities.
Dubai's modern skyline and desert safaris, Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Louvre Abu Dhabi, and a broader federation of seven emirates that ranges from coastal cities to mountains and oasis towns.
No — Dubai is the best known emirate internationally, but the UAE is a federation of seven, including the capital Abu Dhabi, mountainous Fujairah, and smaller emirates like Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, and Ras Al Khaimah.
If you want to see beyond the cities, yes — Al Ain is a UNESCO-listed oasis with a genuinely different, low-rise heritage character, and Hatta has mountains, a dam, and a heritage village that look nothing like Dubai's skyline.
Visa policy depends on nationality and can change, so confirm current requirements for your passport before booking rather than relying on past travel experience.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi run on the higher end for the region, comparable to major Western cities for hotels and dining, though costs vary widely by neighborhood and activity.
