The United Arab Emirates is an amazing country with an ancient rich history, distinctive culture, and specific flavor. Therefore, all travelers here are in for a very intense program of excursions.<\/p>
The Dubai Palace of Sheikh Saeed, built in the 19th century, is a true architectural masterpiece. The palace itself is quite small, but the exquisite richness of its decoration and architecture is simply unmatched. Today, the palace houses a museum with themed halls containing collections of stamps, coins, historical documents, and geographical maps.<\/p>
Be sure to visit the Jumeirah Mosque – a delightful example of Arab architecture, and moreover the only mosque in the UAE that even non-Muslims are allowed into.<\/p>
While in Dubai, you must visit the national museum located in Al Fahidi Fort. The museum's exhibits are largely dedicated to the patriarchal way of life of Muslims, which until recently was characteristic of the emirates' inhabitants; here are displayed household items, collections of various weapons, exhibits related to trade, and much more. Here you can also see a collection of photographs of Dubai, which show how the city's face has changed in recent decades.<\/p>
But in order to at least slightly understand the very soul of the Arabs, it is not enough to simply visit palaces and museums; you need to delve into the very heart of the country – the desert. Many guests of the UAE today undertake desert journeys, so there are well-trodden routes and it's easy to find a guide. You can rent a jeep as transport, but if you want to get the maximum impression from this adventure, choose the 'ships of the desert.' Traveling by camel through the desert, you can feel like a real hero of an Arabian fairy tale.<\/p>
Most excursion programs include a visit to a Bedouin camp. The desert dwellers gladly welcome guests and tell them amazing stories about the hard life of nomads. During the journey, you will move from one oasis to another and will be able to feel the rhythm of the desert, feel yourself a part of it.<\/p>
After returning from the desert journey, be sure to visit the Divers' Village, artificially recreated in the reserve on the Shindagha Peninsula. Many modern cities of the Emirates grew in places where pearl divers once founded their little villages. The reserve recreates the life of the first settlers in minute detail, and you can also see the boats and tools used in ancient times for harvesting sea pearls.<\/p>
If you structure your stay in the United Arab Emirates properly, you will not only get a sea of new impressions but also become a little acquainted with the culture and life of the local population, if not understand, then wholeheartedly love the mysterious world of the East.<\/p>
