Engulf yourself in an exotic and exciting new world. East meets west in the United Arab Emirates, a country which takes pride in its culture and preserves its history, while modernizing itself with all the western amenities one can find in Europe and the USA. Learn of Dubai through a trip to a museum and mosque, then let all your worries behind and cool off in Dubai's premier waterpark. Cross into the bordering emirate of Abu Dhabi and find yourself in Al-Ain. Experience a more traditional side of the middle east by visiting archeological sites and a camel market, all while seeing a contrast in scenery between desert, water, and mountains, bringing you to a eye-opening and relaxing end to your trip.
