Russia and Eastern Europe in general have become some of the most desirable travel destinations for the UAE nationals. According to Smart System Holidays LLC, there are many reasons for it.
The variety of things to see and experience is often quoted among the biggest ones. It is hard to deny that a country as big as Russia has a great range of natural biomes that are incredibly fun to experience. In the south, it starts as the subtropical climate which is best seen in Sochi, a popular sea resort. Thanks to the close proximity of the Caucasus Mountains, Russia’s south is also a good location for skiing, snowboarding, and other assorted traditionally winter activities. What is more, there are plenty of ski centers here that were built for the Winter Olympics of 2014.
For those who crave a more authentically Russian experience, Siberia is a great opportunity. It has all that this country is famous for: vast forests full of wild animals providing an excellent hunting opportunity, stark and beautiful nature the likes of which can hardly be found anywhere else in the world, monuments of many ancient cultures, and much more. This is where one can feel the real Russian winter – and with today’s growth of the travel infrastructure, it can be done without any discomfort.
What Russia is also known for is its rich and long traditions. One that stands out the most is arguably the Russian school of ballet. Every year, performances in the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow attract thousands of classical music lovers from all over the world.
Anyone who appreciates art will find themselves at home in Russia. Almost every city there has a number of museums where truly significant cultural works of art are displayed. A visa to Russia is, therefore, a great way to enjoy some of the best objets d’art ever created by mankind.
This is not to say that Russia is a country that dwells in the past, however. Those tourists who prefer a modern lifestyle will also not feel disappointed. The nightlife is mostly concentrated in big cities, especially Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Yekaterinburg. It can be safely said that it does not lack anything one would see in the best nightclubs of the UAE, US, and Europe.
Not the least on the list of things to see in Russia are historical sites. Many of them, such as the Kremlin, still serve the same purpose today as they have for hundreds of years. Others have been turned into museums. Regardless, all of them are worthy of your attention.
To summarize, Russia remains an interesting up-and-coming travel destination for Dubai and the UAE. It is both exotic and familiar, combining European influences with Asian and old with new.
