All-year sunshine, a 6 hour flight from western Europe, and a time difference of only 2-4 hours (the country has no daylight saving) – United Arab Emirates (UAE) is an accessible destination for sun worshipers as well as business travelers and cultural explorers.
The range of activities in the country is huge. Here you can ski indoors in a shopping mall in the morning, go sandboarding in the dunes out in the desert in the afternoon and cruise around Palm Jumeirah on a luxurious yacht in the evening.
The UAE is also real world champion on world records! There are about 150 different World Records (according to Guiness’s record book), or how about:
- The world’s tallest building (Burj Khalifa)
- The world’s longest (Meydan) and tallest hotels (Gevora Hotel)
- The world’s longest driverless metro
- The world’s highest fountain (Dubai Fountains)
- The world’s most expensive drink (at the Sky Bar in Burj Al Arab)
- The world’s highest restaurant (Atmosphere restaurant in Burj Khalifa)
- The world’s fastest roller coaster (Ferrari World’s Fomula Rossa on Yas Island off Abu Dhabi)
- The world’s longest zipline (Jebel Jais in Ras al Khaimah)
