The United Arab Emirates is often thought of as merely a stopover destination for travelers. However, those who see the country as nothing more than a superficial pit stop are missing out. Beyond the skyscrapers of Abu Dhabi and the malls of Dubai, a vast range of real-world adventures awaits. Take a camel ride among the desert dunes or rent a helicopter. Have dinner with Bedouins or dine alongside fish in a restaurant aquarium. Buy gold bars from vending machines or explore a traditional spice bazaar.
