View from the top of Burj Khalifa
This is the highest view in the world! From the top, you can see almost all of Dubai. The massive skyscrapers look tiny from here. From the sea to the desert, from the old city of Dubai to the new urban areas, all can be observed from the 148th floor of this building. This is definitely the best place in the UAE to watch the sunset.
Sheikh Zayed Mosque
This magnificent mosque in Abu Dhabi is also a sight to behold. The Sheikh Zayed Mosque is one of the largest in the world, with white marble walls and floors, as well as intricate wall decorations made from colorful stones. From floor to ceiling, every corner of this mosque has been meticulously built and designed, from the world's largest hand-woven carpet to the giant crystal chandelier.
Dubai Miracle Garden
Flowers are not what people usually think of when mentioning a windy desert country like the UAE. However, at Dubai Miracle Garden, the landscape has been taken to a whole new level. Dubai Miracle Garden consists of endless gardens with works of art made from flowers. True to its name, keeping such colorful vegetation alive in the desert is a miracle. What's more, the garden has even been entered into the Guinness Book of World Records for its flower arrangement in the shape of an Airbus A380.
Abu Dhabi Emirates Palace
Among Abu Dhabi's most luxurious hotels, the Emirates Palace is a magnet for visitors thanks to its captivating Arabian beauty, stunning suites and a private marina overlooking the bay.
Al Ain
About an hour's drive from central Abu Dhabi is Al Ain, nicknamed the "Garden City" because of its natural springs, oases and beautiful rock formations.
Al Jahili Fort
UNESCO has recognized many of Abu Dhabi's cultural and historical structures as world heritage sites. Al Jahili Fort is one of them, and its scenery remains picturesque. Since its construction in 1891, the fort has become a popular tourist destination - which is also the reason why the local people are trying to protect the structure.
Hatta
Just over an hour’s drive from Dubai, visitors will be amazed by the natural beauty of Hatta. Hatta is an ideal place for hiking, cycling, camping and stargazing – a rare opportunity in Dubai due to the city’s light pollution. The most impressive sight is the Hatta Dam, with its calm, turquoise waters set amidst majestic mountains. It is undoubtedly the most beautiful natural landscape in the country.
Snoopy Island
This island is located in the Emirate of Fujairah. The unusual name “Snoopy” comes from the fact that some people saw the island as looking like a sleeping Snoopy dog. Fujairah is the only Emirate on the east coast of the UAE, and it is where the mountains and sea meet, creating some of the most incredible landscapes in the UAE. Enjoy the high mountain views on your way to Fujairah, and when you arrive, visit the beach to see a sleeping Snoopy. It is also a perfect spot for snorkeling.
