United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a union of seven
sovereign sheikhdoms, formed when the British withdrew
from the Gulf in 1971. It boasts mountains, beaches,
deserts, oases, camel racing, Bedouin markets and the
legendary duty-free shopping of Dubai, all packed into a
relatively small area.
It also has the most relaxed entry regulations in the
region, the best tourist infrastructure and, despite
promoting itself exclusively to tourists with a buck or
three (or four) to spend, it's extremely accessible to
independent budget travellers.
