Dubai, U.A.E: Desert Holidays

Dubai is part of the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E) which can be found on the Southern Coast of the Persian Gulf. Renowned for 7* Hotels, long stretches of clear white sand beaches and the ultimate in luxury and style. Hot temperatures mixed with Arabian cultures make it great for sun-seekers or culture lovers. Not forgetting the duty free shopping!

The Arabian Desert is full of interesting geological features including huge sand dunes, canyons and the odd bit of quicksand!  The sands get the orangey colour due to rust, well it’s a fine coating of iron oxide on the sand, which is mainly quartz. To the East of the city you will find Sabkha’s (salty plains)  and at the border with Oman at a place called Hatta you will find the Western Hajar Mountains.
