For the last decade, the United Arab Emirates and, especially, the city of Dubai, has gained the reputation of being the world’s capital of luxury tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And very well-deserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A country of Sheikhs and wealthy locals who own the most expensive cars, Dubai has managed to switch from being a Bedouin land to a real metropolis that attracts people from all over the world, for both business and pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the tallest building on Earth to a ski resort and just ridiculously unique constructions everywhere, Dubai is already famous for having the most of the most, which is what most travelers are looking for when they plan a trip to Dubai<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a country like the United Arab Emirates should be much more than that so, that’s why, lately, many organizations are trying to push and promote tourism beyond glittering malls and expensive hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I lived in Dubai for almost 3 years and, as a real lover of trying to look for more unique and off-beat places, I got to see the face of the United Arab Emirates that not many travelers are aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I will show you my favorite hidden gems in Dubai<\/strong> and the rest of the country, which combine both adventure and a real taste of the local, Bedouin culture, making an excellent guide to exploring Dubai off the beaten track<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
