10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in United Arab Emirates That You Shouldn't Miss

November 23, 2021 Augustus Redeker

Nomadic tribal heritage and modern society co-exist in the UAE, a federation of seven emirates at the southeastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula. Look beyond the desert that consumes four-fifths of its area and you'll find UAE capital Abu Dhabi, an oil-rich city of skyscrapers, parks and malls, and Dubai, with its split personality of luxury resorts and covered marketplaces, upscale boutiques and local artisans. For a break from urban sprawl, journey over rolling red sand dunes into the Hatta Mountains, where the 200-year-old Sharia Mosque sits amid 30 restored buildings of sandalwood and mud.

Qasr Al Watson is grandiose and a must when visiting Abu Dhabi. I don’t think I have ever seen such a majestic, luxurious, enchanting and stunning palace in my entire life!!! It is decorated with impeccable taste and rich in history. The marble covering the entire palace is superb. I will revisit again!!

The Corniche

Reviewed By JIHAD40 - United Arab Emirates, null

While we stayed at the St Regis on the Corniche we decided to go for a walk as the weather is beautiful this time of the year. The Corniche is basically the waterfront of Abu Dhabi, it has a long stretch on the waterfront, beautifully landscaped with walk ways and bicycle lanes. A few cafes as on the walk which is so beautiful and relaxing. You can even rent scooters and return them to various pick up locations. Definitely try it out.

Aldar HQ Building

Reviewed By msel36 - Lancashire, United Kingdom

We stayed at the Al Raha Beach Hotel which is next to the Al Raha Mall and the Aldar HQ Building is next to the mall. This building is under 15 mins from the airport. The view of this unusual shaped building is very interesting. I believe it is a office accomodation building and is not accessable to enter.

We visited the Lebanese restaurant on level 4 of Pier 7 for a nice dinner overlooking the Marina with the boats travelling up and down the canal all lit up. We shared a typical lebanese meal.
