The United Arab Emirates (UAE), or simply the Emirates, is a Western Asian nation. It is located at the eastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula and has borders with Oman and Saudi Arabia, as well as marine borders with Qatar and Iran in the Persian Gulf. Popular tourist destinations within the United Arab Emirates include the likes of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

For many guests, a holiday in the UAE revolves around the beach. While temperatures drop across Europe and North America, the UAE's searing summer heat gives way to Winter's beach weather from late October to May. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are the more apparent beach destinations, with city sightseeing, shopping, and theme parks all within walking distance of the beaches. The Burj Khalifa is a soaring sky-high landmark in Dubai and one of the most iconic skyscrapers in the United Arab Emirates. It is not only the world's tallest building at 828 meters, but it is also the tallest freestanding structure, the highest observation deck, and the elevator with the longest travel distance in the world.
