Main Resorts
Dubai is the UAE's showpiece: the Burj Khalifa piercing the sky at 828 m, the Palm Jumeirah artificial island lined with ultra-luxury hotels, the Dubai Mall with an indoor ski slope and an aquarium, and 26 km of beach from Jumeirah to JBR. World-class dining, shopping, and nightlife make Dubai one of the planet's most visited cities.
Abu Dhabi, an hour from Dubai, is more cultural and less hectic. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque — clad entirely in white marble and gold leaf — is one of the world's most beautiful buildings. Yas Island houses Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, and the Formula 1 circuit.
Ras Al Khaimah is the UAE's nature escape: Jebel Jais mountain with the world's longest zipline, quieter beaches, and significantly lower hotel rates than Dubai.
Fujairah sits on the Gulf of Oman coast — calmer, less developed, with excellent house-reef snorkelling and a traditional fortified old town.
What to See & Do
- Burj Khalifa observation deck — the view of Dubai from the 124th floor at sunset is simply unforgettable
- Desert safari — dune bashing in a 4x4, camel riding, and a Bedouin camp dinner under the stars; available from any hotel
- Dubai Creek & Al Fahidi — the historic heart of Dubai: traditional wind-tower architecture, the spice souk, the gold souk, and abra water taxi rides across the creek
- Louvre Abu Dhabi — an extraordinary Jean Nouvel-designed museum under a perforated dome that projects a "rain of light" across world art collections
- Indoor skiing at Ski Dubai — snow in the desert; an experience that illustrates exactly what Dubai is about
Best Time to Visit
November – March is peak season: temperatures of 22–28 °C make outdoor sightseeing, beach days, and desert safaris truly enjoyable. This is when hotels fill up quickly and prices peak.
April and October are shoulder season — still pleasant (around 30 °C) and with better value.
May – September is extremely hot (42–48 °C); primarily manageable only indoors with air conditioning. Prices drop sharply and deals are plentiful for those who don't mind the heat.
Travel Tips
| Visa | No visa required for EU/Baltic citizens (30 days, extendable) |
| Currency | UAE Dirham (AED) — 1 EUR ≈ 3.9 AED; cards accepted everywhere |
| Flight time | ~5–5.5 h from Riga, Vilnius or Tallinn |
| Language | Arabic officially; English is the universal language of business and tourism |
| Dress code | Dress modestly in souks, mosques and malls — swimwear only at beaches and pools |
Tip: Allocate at least 2 days specifically for Abu Dhabi — the Sheikh Zayed Mosque alone is worth an overnight stay, and Yas Island is a full day in itself.
