2. Nomadic tribal heritage and modern society co-exist in the
UAE, a federation of seven emirates at the southeastern edge of
the Arabian Peninsula. Look beyond the desert that consumes
four-fifths of its area and you'll find UAE capital Abu Dhabi, an
oil-rich city of skyscrapers, parks and malls, and Dubai, with its
split personality of luxury resorts and covered marketplaces,
upscale boutiques and local artisans. For a break from urban
sprawl, journey over rolling red sand dunes into the Hatta
Mountains, where the 200-year-old Sharia Mosque sits amid 30
restored buildings of sandalwood and mud.
