UAE is a world full of contrasts. It is a country with old Mosques, futuristic architecture, orient trades, elegant shoping centres, fishing boats or luxury boats. You can also find here beduin tents in the desert and some of the most luxurious hotels in the world. All of this you can experience only in the 7 emarates of the country. Let’s have a close look into those emirates now.

A good hub Lizzy and I can vouch for the fact that the Emirates is a great place for a holiday. I did actually live and work there for a number of years...way back. It has changed a lot since then. There was no high rises in Dubai! I was last there a couple of years ago...truly amazing mind boggling changes. I must admit I preferred the old but the new really is not to be missed. Thanks again.
Great Hub! Another vacation destination I've never through of. And your introduction to this Hub was just awesome. Can I say that. I like your descriptions. Good use of pictures too. Very nice.
Owesome!! Keep on writing!
