So, whether you choose to take a spin in a Ferrari or a leisurely desert tour atop a camel, the many and varied charms of the United Arab Emirates are sure to entice you back again and again.
Many visitors to the UAE land in Dubai, touching down at Dubai International Airport (DXB). Other popular entrance points to the sun-baked Emirates include Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH), Sharjah International Airport (SHJ), Fujairah International Airport (FJR), and Ras al-Khaimah International Airport (RKT). When it comes to collecting your car rental, United Arab Emirates airports such as these are ideal as you can simply touch down, collect your luggage and then pick up the keys to your car, often getting on the road within an hour of landing. Car collection at the airport also means you don’t have to bother paying for airport transfers or a taxi, as you can simply make your own way to your hotel. However, there are car-rental offices in downtown areas around the UAE too, if you’d rather arrange a local pick up.
