What to do and see in United Arab Emirates, United Arab Emirates: The Best National Parks

February 6, 2022 Kelli Reichel

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.

Al Noor Island

Reviewed By O6325CBstevew - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Just a short drive from Dubai, Al Noor is an ideal family destination. Once across the footbridge you feel in a different world - beautiful grounds, butterfly house, reading pavilion, kid’s rope play area and more including a great cafe to enjoy a coffee or a meal during your visit. Great way to spend a few hours as a family.

New knew we have such a beautiful & huge park so near to our home ...... . #sharjahnationalpark is located on the #sharjahairport road .. it’s really a perfect place to enjoy picnics with family or friends.
