Guide to the United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates consist of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras al Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al Quwain, each offering endless possibilities for exciting private yacht charter vacations.  Abu Dhabi and Dubai are renowned for their glamorous party scenes, fine dining and sprawling designer shopping malls but for those who want the whole UAE experience, there are unlimited ways to keep occupied.

Soak up the atmosphere of the heritage areas or the magnificent mountain scenery of Hatta, haggle over souvenirs in the souqs of Sharjah, head out to Abu Dhabi's desert sands for a camel ride under a star-filled sky, or dive the coral-filled waters of the Gulf (the beaches near Ras Al-Khaimah are as unspoilt as you'll anywhere in the region). Or simply mix up a blend of everything; after all, that’s what makes the UAE unique.

Ras al-Khamiah has excellent off-road driving and hiking in the rugged Hajar Mountains, Al Ain, part of Abu Dhabi, boasts natural cave systems and hot water springs, as well as sports car driving on the world class Jebel Hafeet mountain road, which draws car fanatics from across the globe.

The combination of culture, history and breath taking landscapes and beaches make an ideal private charter yacht destination, for more details see yachts available for charter and contact your yacht charter broker who can help plan your dream itinerary.
