United Arab Emirates
The UAE
The capitals – Abu Dhabi and Dubai – the strangest of brothers in Arabia. One of them developed gradually and has an inner confidence, because from early days it has been the centre of trade. The other, 50 years ago was scraping a living from dates, fish and pearl diving and is now fortunes darling due to crude oil. Over 50 years ago they joined together in an alliance with 5 smaller siblings and called it the UAE. Now skyscrapers, Bedouin tents and luxury cars live side by side with camels. Nowhere else in the world can marked contrasts in culture be found.

Once seen never forgotten.Until the accession of his Majesty Sultan Qaboos (RIP) in 1970, this wonderful natural environment lay dormant, but in the years since 1970 it has been harnessed for the good of the growing nation.

On any given day you could sample a portfolio of sophisticated restaurants and then watch the sun set over sand dunes that seem to spring from a fairy tale.

The storied location of the ancient Dilmun empire and home to the epicentre of the Gulf's pearling past, Bahrain has a history to reflect on with pride. Boasting its own Formula 1 Grand Prix, a growing art and foodie scene heavily cross-pollinated by Manama's huge expat population, and a wealth of activities enjoyed on the azure waters surrounding this collection of islands, Bahrain will appeal to travellers who seek an unpretentious, yet confident country bearing all the hallmarks of a modern, wealthy Gulf nation. Bahrain is a multilayered and multicultural destination is often overlooked by tourists.
