How It Ranks
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are the two main tourist hubs in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Dubai is known for being the business capital, full of tall skyscrapers (including the tallest building in the world!) and luxury shopping.
Abu Dhabi, on the other hand, is the capital of the UAE and home to plenty of luxury resorts (the rich and famous love to travel here), sports and sand dunes. Oh yeah, dune bashing is our favorite pastime.
