UAE
Dubai design and the quiet of the Empty Quarter
The UAE — Dubai design, the Empty Quarter and an Abu Dhabi close.
Dubai for the design and the long brunch (Bulgari on Jumeirah Bay, Atlantis The Royal). The Empty Quarter (Qasr Al Sarab) for the desert romance. Abu Dhabi (Emirates Palace) for the cultural week — Louvre Abu Dhabi, Guggenheim.
An ideal stopover en route to the Maldives or the Seychelles.
