Holiday in the Emirates
The oil rich country of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is divided into seven states (emirates) and borders Qatar, Oman and Saudi Arabia in southwest Asia; the capital is Abu Dhabi and the largest city, Dubai.
About 80% of the UAE is made up of desert although the landscape is a mix of the most amazing rolling dunes, oases, fertile plains and rocky mountains, together with the glorious Persian Gulf coast.
