Laying claim to the world’s only seven-star hotel, the United Arab Emirates provides luxury among the sands, sun and sea. This is no place to come looking for a guesthouse. This is the place to indulge, to splurge, and to spoil. It is also a place to embark on desert safaris and scuba dive the Arabian Sea. Comprised of seven separate sheikdoms that differ from one another as night and day, the UAE is a flamboyant, curious clash of cultures and generations; the ancient desert meets Beverly Hills.
