The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven states such as Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras al Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm al Qaiwain. The UAE is located along the southeastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. Qatar lies to the west, Saudi Arabia to the south and west and Oman to the north and east. The perfect time of the year to plan a visit to the UAE is between November and April, as only during this time phase, the weather is at its coolest. The rest of the year is so hot that it becomes impossible to leave the comfort of an air-conditioned environment to explore the area.
