The United Arab Emirates (UAE) consist of seven federates situated on the Arabian Peninsula. A modern and dynamic powerhouse, the UAE is a sandy, glamorous playground bundled together with a rich history and culture. The beginning point for many on their exploration to the Middle East, the UAE is a juxtaposition of city skyscrapers, desert nights, ski resorts and relaxing island life.

Consult a travel doctor prior to departure to assess your risks in relation to your medical history and travel plans. It would also be good to familiarise yourself with the UAE’s social policies’ as they have strict policies around alcohol consumption.
