A visit to the emirate of Umm al-Quwaïn is a must not only to discover what life was like in the United Arab Emirates before the oil boom, but also to immerse yourself in a harmonious blend of Arab and Indian cultures. Emiratis come here to find peace and serenity, far from the construction sites of Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Here, there are no buildings or malls, no mountains or desert, just wide, untamed white-sand beaches where you can surf and kite. The emirate has preserved its natural spaces, with their mangroves and bird colonies. These mangroves are still home to "dugongs", strange sea cows with rounded heads. So, welcome to Umm al-Quwaïn, or UAQ as it's known in the Emirates, with its 720 km2 or 1% of the Emirates' total surface area, wedged between Sharjah to the south-west and Ras al-Khaïmah to the north-east.
