Occidental Hotels & Resorts in the United Arab Emirates

Dubai and Sharjah together make a unique destination where the silence of the dunes and the buzz of the cities create a dramatic contrast. Each of the seven emirates of this country (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras al-Khaimah, Umm al-Quwain and Fujairah) surprises its visitors with its blend of rich cultural tradition and constant change. 

The magical union of desert, cities, oases and mountain areas will enthrall all those who travel to this area of the Arabian Peninsula, renowned for its year-round warm climate.

Abu Dhabi, the country’s capital, is one of the most modern cities in the world and offers an endless array of activities for all its visitors. Next to Abu Dhabi is Dubai, another of the United Arab Emirates’ emblematic cities, as well as one of the world’s most important holiday destinations. Although futuristic architecture and a multitude of skyscrapers are the first things that come to mind when thinking of these cities, both have a perfect blend of tradition and modernity.

Sharjah is the third most important and representative city of UAE. It was named Cultural Capital of the Arab World by UNESCO and has almost 20 museums dedicated to cultural and artistic heritage. Ras al-Khaimah is the emirate that best fits the image that outsiders have of the Arab world, while Fujairah is one of the least visited of the emirates, despite its mountains, valleys and beautiful beaches.

The Occidental IMPZ Dubai Conference & Event Centre offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy all these places, as well as the souks (traditional Arab markets), Al Ain, where travellers can experience a desert safari, or the Oases of Al Dhaid and Khatt.
