Dubai & the Emirates

The Emirates are a mysterious jewel of the Middle East — a cosmopolitan country, unique in its hospitality and in the opportunities it offers across so many fields. Year-round sunshine, absolute safety, a high standard of service and Western-level management draw huge numbers of tourists and business travellers to this fascinating land.

Modern in outlook yet built on a rich history and centuries-old traditions, the UAE is a country of high comfort, pristine sandy beaches and a paradise for food lovers and shoppers. It is also a dynamic commercial hub — an open market with no currency controls or trade restrictions — which makes business trips especially rewarding, since at any time of year you can spend a few days at a seaside resort.

Few countries can match the Emirates for sporting life. The most prestigious competitions are held here, drawing competitors from around the world — golf, horse racing, tennis, motor racing and powerboat events among them. Visit the Emirates, and you will fall in love with them.
