Where Is Dubai & The UAE?

The UAE is situated in the Middle East – more specifically in the Gulf (or Arabian Peninsula). This is the small peninsula of land separating Africa from Western Asia.

The UAE is nestled between Saudi Arabia and Oman, facing the Persian Gulf (which separates the UAE from Iran). Other countries in the Gulf include Bahrain, Kuwait, Yemen and Qatar.

Despite Dubai being the biggest and most famous city in the UAE, Abu Dhabi is actually the capital.

Both Dubai and Abu Dhabi are very close in distance though: there is less than 100 miles between them and it takes just over an hour to drive between Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Dubai is a really exciting city and is one of the best places to visit in The Middle East. It is definitely high on many people’s bucket lists, whether they plan to visit as a stopover before continuing their long haul flight elsewhere, or whether they plan to make a holiday to Dubai during the pleasant weather of the winter months.

Dubai has inspired many people – it has been featured in several movies and there is a sense of hope and dreams in the air.

Dubai Travel Information:

If your trip to Dubai is your first time visiting The Middle East, it’s important to do a little bit of research beforehand to know what to expect, especially if you are a female solo traveller.

Whilst The UAE can be more relaxed than other Arabic countries in terms of what to wear, it is still important to respect the country’s cultural norms and dress appropriately.

A shawl/scarf is very versatile and can be particularly useful to cover up your shoulders if necessary. You can learn more here about Travelling Solo Around Arabic Countries As A Western Woman.

In addition to dressing modestly, you’ll definitely need to bring lots of suncream as the sun is strong here!

The UAE has the same plugs as the UK, so make sure to bring a UK adapter if necessary.

You may also want to buy a VPN beforehand as WhatsApp calls and FaceTime are blocked in the UAE.
