About Wonders of UAE
The UAE is so much more than a stopover. Beyond the famous skyline there are mountains, oases, coral reefs, ancient forts and some of the biggest dunes on earth, spread across seven very different emirates. Wonders of UAE brings them together in one place, with practical advice to help you actually get there.
Who is behind it
I am Delfin, and I have lived in the UAE for more than 20 years, working in digital marketing in Dubai. Over that time I have spent countless weekends exploring the country with my family, from cycling and camping trips to drives up into the Hajar Mountains and out to the east coast. This site is the guide I wish I could hand to every visitor and every new resident.
Wonders of UAE is part of a small family of travel sites that started with Wonders of Japan.
