The East continues to impress European tourists with its unrivaled luxury and hospitality, opening its doors of magnificent palaces. Recently, Qasr Al Watan was made available to visitors. The opening of the Palace of Nations was made possible by His Highness Sheikh Mohammad bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince Ruler of the United Arab Emirates. This event gives the world an opportunity to experience the culture and achievements of the mysterious, veil-shrouded, ornate and old-fashioned East.

The building, built of marble and openwork stained glass windows, towers over the island of Ras al-Akhdar, which belongs to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE. The curious traveler who wanders into Qasr Al Watan will not be disappointed. It will take a lot of time to go around all the rooms of the palace, but it will definitely not be wasted. The area of the complex also includes a huge square.

Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world! The skyscraper is located in Dubai and has a height of 828 meters, which corresponds to 163 floors. Its shape resembles a stalagmite. A special opening ceremony was held on January 4, 2010.

Burj Khalifa has always been planned as the tallest building in the world. Its design height was kept secret. To stay in the lead, it was planned so that adjustments could be made to the design if a taller building was built somewhere. Dubai Tower was conceived as a "city within a city" - with its own lawns, boulevards and parks. The total cost of the structure was about 1.5 billion dollars. The building houses a hotel, apartments, offices and shopping centers. Burj Khalifa has three separate entrances: to the hotel, to the apartments and to the office space. On the 43rd and 76th floors there are observation and socializing areas.

The Palm Islands is a unique archipelago, which can rightfully be considered the eighth wonder of the world. Of all the things created by man, only this artificial archipelago and the Great Wall of China are visible from space. This place is the center of business activity and tourism of the entire Persian Gulf. The archipelago consists of three famous sights of the UAE - islands, which in their shape resemble date palms. In Islam, the date is especially revered, so they have become a symbol of the religion. The largest of the islands is Palma Deira Island, while Palma Jebel Ali and Jumeirah are somewhat smaller. It is worth noting that they are more correctly called peninsulas, as they are connected to the coastline by their "trunks". Each island is decorated with a crescent moon, a symbol of the Islamic religion. Barrier reefs surround the islands, protecting them from the water, on which are carved quotes from the poems of the Sheikh of Dubai.

The famous Sheikh Zeid Mosque is not only a symbol of the Muslim faith, but also the embodiment of the Emirates' wealth. It is a real living illustration of the book "One Thousand and One Nights". This huge monument, which occupies an area of 5 soccer fields, is decorated with walls inlaid with semi-precious stones and gold. The mosque was built in honor of a great man, Sheikh Zeid ibn Sultan Al Nahyan, who united the poor Bedouin lands into one country that became the richest on the planet. The cost of this unprecedented structure is more than 500 million dollars. The mosque is deservedly popular among the residents of the country and travelers from all over the world. More than 3000 workers and about 40 companies were involved in its construction. The result of this large-scale enterprise was a snow-white giant building. The mosque took the place of the main mosque in the country. In 2008, the complex was opened to tourists, and since then it has been one of the main attractions of the country.
