The Best Road Trips You Need to Take in the UAE
The United Arab Emirates may not be a big country, but there’s plenty to be seen in between its desert dunes and beautiful shores. The best part is that everything is just a short drive away. So whether one is looking to indulge in some water adventures or simply relax in a luxurious resort in the middle of the desert, all that’s needed is a car, gas and some snacks for the road. The journey just might be better than the destination.
Desert Resorts
The UAE has no shortage of luxurious resorts a short drive from the city, for those travelers who aren’t into camping. Admire the desert dunes and feel completely removed from the cities. Some of the most renowned are Al Maha and Bab Al Shams. Both also offer activities that are meant to honor Emirati culture as well as entertain, such as riding camels.
