Travel agencies advertise the United Arab Emirates as a land of sensational contrasts, and this cliche is true: mountains, oases, Bedouin markets, beaches, camel run, ultra -modern shops, deserts huddle in this relatively small territory. If there is a desire to visit only one country of the Middle East, the Country of the UAE is, without a doubt, the best choice, because it has the most preferential customs rules, the best tourist infrastructure and is available to independent tourists.
