After spending some time in the most infamous of UAE cities, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, I felt it time to take a better look at what lays outside these soaring modern landscapes and see if I could discover some worlds of old.
Yes, there are the skyscrapers, Burj Khalifa, and man-made islands, but there’s still some culture left in Dubai, and you’ll find it in Al Fahidi.
On my recent trip to UAE trip, I wanted to visit Dubai & Abu Dhabi, but I really wanted to reach far beyond them to discover the true essence of UAE and appreciate its rich history and cultural significance
Here is a small selection of the kind words our guests have said about us, as well as features by journalists and travel writers.
