    These ladies are on point with UAE. If you decide to visit, research and purchase your package early, you can land a 5 star hotel for 7- days in UAE for under a $1000. per person.
    We flew into Abu Dhabi (13 hrs flight) from NY and left from Dubai. We spent 3 days sightseeing in Abu Dhabi. Took the bus from Abu Dhabi to Dubai (1.5 hr). Sightseeing in Dubai, the desert tour was the pick for me. The tourist spots are the same in UAE. Everybody visits the Mall/Burj Khalifa, Mosque, Old Village, Dessert safari tour. Just need a cab or uber to get around. Very structured and rigid culture. Everybody is from elsewhere in UAE. The buildings are picturesque. Just a place you visit once in your lifetime.
