If you want to see the future, fly to the Emirates. Here, skyscrapers grow faster than palm trees, and shopping malls are bigger than airports. Dubai amazes with its scale: Burj Khalifa, artificial islands, hotels with golden chandeliers. Abu Dhabi is more reserved, cultural, with a grandiose Sheikh Zayed Mosque. But behind all this is the spirit of the desert: safaris, Bedouin dinners and aromatic hookahs. The UAE is a mix of luxury, tradition and Arabian hospitality. An excellent choice in winter, when the sun is at its most pleasant.
