The UAE is a rather secretive state, and in order to choose which place to go on vacation, you will have to spend some time collecting information. The country's capital, Dubai, has long been the center of the intersection of many trade routes. Here is the world-famous gold market, old palaces and fortifications, beautiful architectural structures and amazing glass skyscrapers. The resorts of the UAE are also no less famous throughout the world. Let's try to find a place to stay.

Some information about the country

The administrative center of the Emirates, Abu Dhabi, is famous for many attractions, including a unique observation deck, from which a wonderful bird's eye view of the capital opens. And below you can see all the beauty and charm of Sheikh Zayed’s residence, Al Khosi Palace. Let's talk a little about other cities. Sharjah ranks third in size and is an ideal place to relax on snow-white sand, on the shores of the azure sea.

Ajman - shipbuilding and the fishing industry are well developed here, Arab single-masted ships are designed and built. Tourists use them to cross the sea. Lovers of outdoor recreation come to Umm al-Quwain, as there is a real wild reserve here. There is also a riding academy. Ras al-Khaimah is famous for its fascinating archeological finds and the presence of hot springs. If you like a holiday in the mountains, you will be interested in Al Ain, which is located at the very foot of the Hajar Mountains.

UAE Resorts: Dubai

In this article we will take a closer look at this main resort in the country. It is visited by tens of thousands of tourists, and their goal is not only to learn the secrets of the East, but also to visit beautiful, low-priced shopping centers, look at magnificent, one-of-a-kind skyscrapers and appreciate the ultra-modern infrastructure. This city manages to combine excellent hotels, a wonderful resort area, luxurious beaches, etc. with amazing national traditions that are still preserved. The Emirate of Dubai is territorially and physically divided into the southern part - Bur Dubai, and the northern part - the Deira region. They are connected to each other by tunnels and bridges. They have everything you need for life: hotels, bazaars, banks, hospitals, shopping centers, mosques, etc. If you are looking for the best resorts in the UAE, this city alone will be enough. After all, it is here that the most interesting equestrian competitions and camel racing are held every year.

The Dubai resort area of ​​Jumeirah has excellent golf and yacht clubs where you can have great fun. Jumeirah is actually the most fashionable area of ​​the city. There is a zoo, beautiful beaches, separate playgrounds and a super water park called Wild Wadi, located next to the world-famous Burj Al Arab hotel.

The eighth wonder of the world - Palm Jumeirah

If you are thinking about which resorts in the UAE are the best, then this is one of them. A real artificial island, thanks to which the wildest and most complex dreams of engineers were realized. It is built in the shape of a regular palm tree, which consists of a trunk and 17 individual branches. Each of them contains offices, apartments and private villas. This island is connected by a tunnel with a special protective barrier “crescent”. It is home to several five-star hotels such as Rixos The Palm, Zabeel Saray, Atlantis The Palm, One & Only The Palm.

These hotels have their own beaches, located on the inner side of the artificial object, so they never have more or less strong waves. By taxi or using the free shuttle you can quickly get to the city center.

Sharjah - the emirate of two seas

When considering UAE resorts for your holiday, pay attention to Sharjah - the third largest emirate, there are seven in total. This is the only one that is located simultaneously on two different coasts. The capital of the emirate of the same name is located on the shores of the Persian Gulf, and the villages of Daba al-Hasn, Kor Fakkan and Kalba are on the coast of the Indian Ocean. Sharjah borders Fujairah, Ajman and Dubai, where free transfers are provided. Dubai's shopping centers can be reached in just 20 minutes this way.

The local landscape is very diverse: it includes mountainous coastal ranges, green picturesque oases, and endless orange deserts. Just remember that you don’t need to appear in swimsuits on public beaches, use paid ones - at hotels. Alcohol is not sold here, but if you really want to, you can buy it at a duty-free store and drink it in your hotel room.

Ras Al Khaimah

If you are interested in beach resorts in the UAE, then choosing the best one is a rather difficult task. Firstly, there are a huge number of them for such a not very large state. And secondly, they compete with each other in terms of the quality of services provided and comfort for tourists. The emirate of Ras al-Khaimah is the northernmost of all, stretching to the border with Oman along the Persian Gulf. Already upon entering it, a clear sea, palm groves with large reservoirs and the beauty of the Hadjar Mountains will open to your eyes. The entire coastal area is filled with luxury beach resorts. These places are good for families to relax, as the entrance to the sea is gentle. On the coast there is beautiful white sand. Luxury hotels here are much cheaper than in Dubai. Nearby is the Iceland water park. Many tourists come to the Hutt Springs spa resort, recently discovered in the mountainous town of Hutt.

On the beach of the United Arab Emirates

The UAE coastline consists of two coastlines, the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Its total length is more than 700 kilometers, where the best beaches in the country are located. Thanks to the significant plume that the Persian Gulf coast has, large waves do not reach the shore, which provides comfortable conditions for relaxation. The coast of the Gulf of Oman is an ocean shore, so the waves reaching the shore can sometimes be dangerous.

Beach in Abu Dhabi

The Emirate of Abu Dhabi has the best beaches. Bahrain Island is located just off the coastline of Abu Dhabi. To get to the island, you need to hire a boat or rent a boat. More recently, the island was a protected area that was closed to the public. Part of the territory is still occupied by a small wildlife reserve with a population of songbirds. Several species of chamois and gazelles are also found here. Currently, after the construction of a huge tourist complex on one of the shores, the island has turned into a resort. The remaining territory of the island contains more than seven kilometers of wild beaches covered with white sand. They are located on the other side and are wonderful places to relax.

Danat Resort Hotel

Jebel Dana Beach is located 400 kilometers from Dubai, so it is impossible to visit the beach and return in one day. The journey to the beach along an endless road is quite tiring, but once you get there, you find yourself on a real uninhabited beach with clean, calm sea water. There is no housing around for several kilometers, except for two buildings. One of them is Danat Resort, which is worth paying attention to. Since the beach is wild, you should take care of umbrellas in advance. Thanks to the underwater plume, there is excellent shallow water here; even at a distance of 50 meters from the shore, the water does not even reach waist level. This is a convenient place to relax with children.

Al Mamzar Beach Park, Dubai

Al Mamzar Beach Park is located where the border of the Emirates of Dubai and Sharjah passes. There are seven beaches in the park and all of them are beautiful. In addition, the park has many places for sports, active recreation, and even places where you can cook barbecue. The park has a lot of greenery, which provides good shade. The beaches always have clean sand and water, there are showers, toilets and canopies made of palm leaves. Except on Fridays, Al Mamzar Beach Park is not crowded and quiet.

Jumeirah Beach Park is located in Jumeirah 2, close to the Jumeirah Beach Club. It is one of the most famous beaches in Dubai. On the way to the beach there are green gardens and well-groomed lawns. A narrow but well-equipped beach is located in the center of the park. The park is popular for its barbecue areas and equipped children's play areas. Sun loungers and beach umbrellas can be rented at an additional cost.

Al Safa Park is located in the Jumeirah area on Al Wasl Road. It is very popular among the local population of the Jumeirah area. The park has a tennis court, children's playgrounds, and a mini-fair. The beach located in the park is municipal and therefore free.

Al Safa Park

Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Ajiman

These Emirates are located on the coast of the Persian Gulf. They are not very famous, so the holiday here is more calm and quiet. Even on weekends, vacationers feel comfortable on the beaches. Almost the entire coastline of these Emirates can be used for beach holidays. The beaches that are located at the hotels are paid, but the entrance price is much lower than in Dubai, and the conditions are not much different. The beaches of the three Emirates are not inferior to Dubai, but relaxing here is much cheaper.

In Fujera, the coast is the shore of the Indian Ocean, so the coastal waters are not the same as in other Emirates. Here they are cooler and saltier, and the sea itself is not so calm, so holidays in these places are suitable for risky vacationers.

On jet skis

The most environmentally friendly pebble beach, Shark Island, located in Martini Bay, is very popular. This is a great place for snorkeling, where you can see sea turtles and amazing coral reefs underwater. The beach was named after the safe reef sharks that live in these places.

Snoopy Rock is a rock that rises among the sea waters. You can admire it from the shore, but if you wish, you can swim to the rock itself. Almost all the underwater flora and fauna of the UAE are represented in these places. By staying at one of the hotels on the shore, you can enjoy the beauty of the Indian Ocean and Snoopy Rock from a comfortable beach, which is fully equipped with everything you need for a great holiday. From here you can go to Snoopy Rock by speedboat or speed scooter.

Underwater world in Martini Bay

On municipal beaches in Sharjah, women are not allowed to expose their bodies. Therefore, you can swim and be on the beach only in clothes. In the Emirate of Sharjah, it is better to choose closed private beaches at hotels for comfortable swimming. For women, the Women's Club beach will be comfortable. Men and boys over 10 years of age are prohibited from entering the territory of the Sharjah Women's Club, but the beach is clean and equipped. Here you are provided with a towel for relaxation, and after swimming in the sea you can wash in a full shower, where shampoo and body gel are provided. There is a cafe near the beach on the territory of the club.

The coastal zone of the UAE is the territory of the Oman and Persian Gulfs. The Gulf of Oman is an ocean shore, so there are very dangerous and serious waves here. The Persian Gulf has a significant shelf, so dangerous waves do not reach the shore. Many note that this is where the best beaches in the UAE are located.

Guests of Abu Dhabi to visit the most popular beaches will have to go to Bahrain Island, which until recently was a nature reserve and was even closed to tourists. Now there is a large resort complex on the island.

Jebel Dana is a wild beach located four hundred kilometers from Dubai.
50 meters from the shore the water level is not waist-high, but you will have to worry about comfort yourself - the island is uninhabited.

Dubai beaches at hotels are distinguished by a high level of service and equally high prices. Therefore, it is better to go to better park or municipal beaches. There are seven luxurious beaches on the territory of Al Mamzar Beach Park. In addition to relaxing by the water, it is fashionable to play sports, cook barbecue, and relax in the shade. Numerous patrols keep order. On all days except Friday, Park Al Mamzar Beach is a great place for a relaxing holiday.

Jumeirah Beach Park is considered one of the best beaches in Dubai. To get to the beach itself you need to walk through beautiful gardens and green lawns. The beach is quite narrow, but there is everything you need: equipment rental, showers, cafes, children's play areas.

Al Safa Park is a popular recreation spot for residents of the Jumeirah area. Visiting this beach is absolutely free, and right on the territory of Al Safa Park there is a fair, tennis courts, and playgrounds.

Nearby is Russian Beach, which received its name due to the large number of Russian-speaking tourists. The area offers a picturesque view of Burj Al Arab. At Russian Beach you can rent equipment necessary for relaxation, and buy food and drinks at kiosks located at every step.

The beaches of Umm Al Quwain, Ajiman and Ras Al Khaimah resemble provincial towns on the shores of the Persian Gulf. These recreation areas are not much advertised, so even on weekends the water is free. Women vacationing here are recommended to wear one-piece swimsuits, as there are many people here who want to admire female beauty. Prices at the three resorts are several times lower than in the capital, but the level of service differs little.

Extreme lovers can go to Fujairah. The waves here are higher and the water is somewhat cooler. The most famous beach, Shark Island, is named after the harmless sharks that live here.

Shark Island is a favorite place for divers. The beach near Snoopy Rock is no less popular among scuba diving enthusiasts, where you can see colorful representatives of the local flora underwater.

When going on holiday in Sharjah, women should remember that nudity is not allowed here, so you will have to swim in clothes. But if you relax on closed beaches at hotels, then you can safely wear any swimsuit. An excellent option for women and their children is the Women's Club. Men are strictly prohibited from entering here.

The beaches at the Radisson Blu and Coral Beach hotels are very convenient, as the staff speaks Russian.
