In the heart of the desert, legend has it there are science-fiction cities ablaze with light, enough to rival the stars. Visionary architects built their utopias here, treasure caves of jewels and silks, Ali Baba fantasies brought to life. You arrive, you touch it, and the mirage holds. The magic thickens: pools are cooled to perfection, lawns greener than the English countryside. Just beyond the city, traditional dhows still set out daily to fish; camels race through dunes; palm trees grow patiently. Discover all our travel ideas in Dubai and the Emirates.

Travel to United Arab Emirates by region

Abu Dhabi

While Dubai is the flagship of avant-gardism in the Emirates, Abu Dhabi is not far behind, far from it. Because, while she brilliantly takes on the role of guardian of traditions, she never stops innovating… and this sometimes results in surprising contrasts. Travelling to Abu Dhabi means coming face to face with just that, unimaginable juxtapositions and projects with a hint of megalomania. One of the most recent additions: the Louvre Abu Dhabi, a monumental cultural project, which sits on the shores of the Persian Gulf alongside luxurious hotels and shopping centres, mangroves, one of the most beautiful, and largest, mosques in the world and, of course, the desert.

Dubai

Its luxury hotels, artificial islands, avant-garde projects and record-breaking innovations resonate far beyond its borders. As exuberant as it is fascinating, as innovative as it is traditional, Dubai is a concentration of contrasts that never leaves anyone indifferent. We often stop there unintentionally, by chance during a stopover, and you might be surprised to want to stay a little longer, despite the temperatures. For the beauty of age-old traditions, the fragrant souks and the bustling market of the old town, among other things. So, whether in the shade of a palm tree, a parasol, a skyscraper or a Bedouin tent, we sometimes revisit a few clichés, discover new ones, and enjoy the surprises that a journey to Dubai always has in store for us.
