United Kingdom Travel Information
Remember that UAE nationals can enter the UK with an electronic visa waiver which can be applied for online before traveling. As you venture further north in the UK you will find the weather gets colder, especially in Glasgow and Edinburgh, but you will need to pack warm clothing (and a rain jacket) with you over winter no matter where you visit in the country.
All of the cities you can travel to from the UAE have extensive public transport networks, especially in London which is served by the London Underground as well as buses and trains. However, if you did want to drive your own car during your stay you will find plenty of leading car rental agencies at all airports.
