Despite the many years I have worked in travel, this was the first time I have visited the UAE.  Sponsored by one of our trusted suppliers, If Only and the Saadiyat Island tourist board, I had a whistlestop tour of some of the many things this area of the world has to offer.  Staying at the stunning Rixos Saadiyat Island Resort on a pristine white sandy beach - the style of the hotel left you in no doubt where in the world you were - which I love.  From the many cultural, theme parks, shopping, historic, F1 and entertainment opportunities, I was truly impressed by the wealth of varied things to do for those choosing this area of the world to holiday.  It is somewhere I can definitely see myself visiting again.  I came back with lots of useful hints and tips on how to make your trip extra special, so if this is somewhere you think you would like to know more about - get in touch!
