8 Things to Do when you visit the United Arab Emirates:

1. Burj Khalifa (Tallest Building in the World!)
2. Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (Get outside the city to see the natural landscape)
3. Visit the Shiekh Zayed Grand Mosque (In Abu Dhabi)
4.Half Desert Road (Sand has blown over the roads so they are no longer in use and it looks apocalyptic)
5. The Palm (Man Made Islands in the shape of a palm tree)
6. Great Red Dune (Best for Sandboarding near Oman border)
7. Go shopping in the traditional souqs (markets) for gold and spices
8. Bedouin Camp (you can stay overnight in a Bedouin style camp in the desert + opt for the sunrise hot air balloon the next day!)
