  • Day 3-4: Rent a car and take a short drive north to the city of Sharjah, the cultural and historical heart of the United Arab Emirates. Must-see sights here include the Sharjah Heritage Museum and Mleiha Archaeological Centre. After you’re done checking out those, take a stroll along Al Majaz Waterfront and find something to eat.

  • Day 5-6: Don’t head home without checking out Abu Dhabi. Explore the jaw-dropping collection at the Louvre Abu Dhabi, kick back on the beach at Saadiyat Island and visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre, the country’s largest mosque.
