Allen street scenic spot

For many people, the United Arab Emirates is just a country built on the desert and has great wealth brought by oil. It is said that it costs more than 3000 dollars to plant each tree in this city.

In fact, the United Arab Emirates is also a country where romance and luxury blend, just like the blue sea and golden sands are everywhere. You can watch ancient sails and luxurious yachts on the blue beach, wait for the moment when the sun sets in the golden desert or listen to the bells of passing camels, buy the most luxurious goods in beautiful shopping malls, or shuttle through the market to find ancient spices and gold ornaments.

Look for antiquity and luxury here.

The United Arab Emirates is located on the south bank of the Persian Gulf in the eastern Arabian Peninsula. It consists of seven Emirates, with Abu Dhabi as its capital. Among them, Dubai, the capital of Dubai Emirates, is the freest city in Arab countries. The UAE is politically stable and economically developed, with a relatively high net income, an average annual income of 20,000 US dollars and a high consumption index.

The UAE under construction is also full of business opportunities. Since 2000, China has replaced Japan as the largest source of goods imports in the UAE, and has maintained this position for five consecutive years. Therefore, this is a route suitable for business investigation, and the whole journey is full of Arabic customs. Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, are the must-see places to visit the UAE for the first time.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a traditional Muslim country, but it contains Chinese and Western cultures well, and its tolerance for various lifestyles shows its tolerance. In addition, the distance between cities is not far, so traveling will feel quite convenient.

The hotels in Dubai are indescribable luxury.

150 years ago, it was the center of diving pearl collection and commercial trade. Fifty years ago, it was a trading post in the desert with a population of only 5,000. Today, Dubai has become a business, transportation hub and entertainment paradise.

In Dubai, you can feel the special commercial atmosphere of the city. Like other commercial cities in the world, Dubai also has many beautiful buildings, some of which are quite modern, while other ballas buildings and wind towers are full of traditional styles. Behind these buildings, there are alleys that slowly extend forward, leading to the gold market and spice market, which used to be the most important trade stage in Dubai.

The place where Dubai's commercial and cultural history can be displayed is the Dubai Museum, formerly known as Al-Faheidi Fort, which is the oldest existing building in Dubai. The museum has an ancient market of the same size, and blacksmiths, jewelers and tailors are lifelike.

Business has brought prosperity and luxury to the city, and the seven-star hotel in Dubai is the best interpretation of this life.

BurjAiArab, the only seven-star hotel in the world (called "Sailing Hotel" in China), is built on Jumeirah Beach Resort, an artificial island 280 meters away from the coastline, which looks like a huge sailboat from a distance.

This hotel was built in 1994, and the cost of shell and reclamation alone is as high as11000000 USD. The whole hotel contains 26 tons of gold and 27 floors. This hotel is the most luxurious place in the world. There are gold-painted post-it notes on the table in the room. Each suite has more than a dozen telephone receivers. If you want to eat seafood, you can take a small submarine. People can only use the word "seven stars" to mean better than the standard.

Buy an Aladdin magic lamp in the market in Sharjah.

Compared with the urban atmosphere of Dubai, Sharjah has a more Middle Eastern flavor and is also a good place for shopping. In the traditional market, you can buy a silver Aladdin magic lamp or camel wind chime, which will bring you back to the myth of childhood.

It is said that humans lived in Sharjah 6000 years ago, so Sharjah is a place with profound historical accumulation. Al Hisn Museum, formerly a fortress, was built in 1820, and the white castle is very emotional. Al Naboodah Mansion is the local "Mansion Gate", which was built in 1845. You can feel the taste of Arab folk architecture. Both places are free. The archaeological museum in Sharjah displays various treasures from the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age.

Sharjah is most famous for its blue outdoor market. Blue and white tiles decorate the muddy yellow walls of the blue market, which is a traditional Arab building. The market includes two identical buildings, both with two floors. There are more than 600 shops selling carpets, gold ornaments, silverware, antiques, perfumes, clothes and so on. Those carpets are almost unimaginable patterns, and some are even woven into oil paintings. Golden bottle local perfume, full of luxury and higher price. You can bargain here, but it won't be too cheap, so if you really want to make a deal, don't bargain any more.

Abu Dhabi Palace and more than 600 mosques.

Departing from Dubai, passing through Jebel Ali, the world's largest artificial seaport, it takes two hours to reach Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

Abu Dhabi is a serious city with many beautiful buildings. You can visit the National Folk Village, or visit the newly renovated Fort Al Hu Sen, then the old sloop shipyard and the charming Batina Harbor. On my way back, I will pass the Sports City, which is the largest football field in the Middle East.

Along the seashore, you can walk all the way to the artificial peninsula of Duanshui Park, which is the end of Abu Dhabi. You can see the panoramic view of Abu Dhabi city on the peninsula, then pass by the presidential palace, and you can browse through the palace area along the road.

There are more than 600 mosques in this modern city, and the cultural atmosphere is very strong.

Arab tourism recommendation

Look at the sea.

Visitors can take a dhow in the Arabian coastal area, enjoy the fragrant Arabian coffee, and travel to Dubai at night. They can also take a wooden luxury cruise ship named "Soul of the Star" and sail on the calm water of the Arabian Gulf from Dubai International Shipping Club, overlooking the scenery along the beach and the sunset at sea.

Sailing explorers will like Dubai's luxury cruise ship Danat, sailing along the Arabian Gulf.

See the sand?

Watching the sunset in the desert is one of the most classic tourism projects.

Sand washing is also a popular entertainment. Visitors can take a four-wheel drive car driven by a professional driver and go up and down on the undulating sand dunes in the desert. Of course, they can also take such a four-wheel drive course and enjoy washing sand by themselves.

Experience the wonderful feeling of hunchback riding with the mighty camel caravan, or tie the sand board, take a deep breath and slide down from the steep side of the sand dune quickly to feel the excitement of flying. These are good ways to get close to the desert. You can even follow the camel's footsteps to the depths of the desert, camp in the vast sand dunes and barbecue under the stars.
