More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The day begins on the highway out of Dubai as the desert flattens and Abu Dhabi’s low skyline and the gleam of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque grow sharper. You arrive to white marble and mirrored pools; the mosque’s domes catch light like a compass guiding you through a city of contrasting scale — quiet courtyards followed by the loud colors of a theme park.
