United Arab Emirates

Renowned for its glitz and glamour and jaw dropping modern architecture, UAE is the perfect travel destination if you want to experience many things in one go. There's the Burj Khalifa and the spice souks of Dubai, or the culture heritages including the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the Louvre of Abu Dhabi.

Oman

For those wishing to experience a place harmoniously weaving both traditions and modernity, Oman is the destination for you.
