If you have never travelled to the UAE before, there is a lot to do other than taking advantages of the beaches. The UAE caters for tourists and has some of the best shopping and dining in the world, with Malls that boast every major brand, plus indoor ice-skating and ski slopes.
Aside from what the cities have to offer, the desert has a charm of its own. Dune and Wadi Bashing is great fun, as is the traditional Arab tented camp with music, henna and belly dancing, not to forget the amazing Louvre in Abu Dhabi.
Many people travelling to the UAE for the first time are confused about the customs of Arab countries. The UAE while in part very liberal and welcoming of Westerners, also follows Islamic laws and customs. Any obvious breach of these can result in imprisonment. We advise all those visiting the UAE to read our article: Guide to Islamic culture for travellers.

Close Protection & Secure Ground Transportation - Dubai, UAE
In 2023, Intelligent Protection provided Close Protection Bodyguards and Secure Ground Transportation to a small group of European football players visiting Dubai as part of a property deal.
Our clients were keen to use their trip to enjoy Dubai, and privacy was a major concern to them, as they were well-known sportsmen with high-risk profiles. We had provided services to each of them before across Europe, but this was the first time some had travelled to the Middle East. We provided our clients with our cultural advice and briefed them on the nightlife of Dubai.
As with all our protective services in Dubai, our Bodyguard duties were carried out in a very low-key, professional, and covert manner, so as not to draw unwanted attention to the group.

In 2024, Intelligent Protection provided a small team of Bodyguards in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, for a Swiss client undergoing a complex divorce.
Our female client had fled her home in Switzerland with her children. She had been subjected to domestic abuse and was in a fragile state.
We provided two females and one bodyguard to support our client and her young children.
Our services are often required when our clients are going through a crisis. Emotional intelligence and compassion play a huge part in our role; it's not all muscles and brawn!
