<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yKJ8iYovBfk/Xed4HZSkkDI/AAAAAAAAAp8/66-lohSMD1MgQx6JhVwd5zl3-PhMhcU7wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/dubai.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="750" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yKJ8iYovBfk/Xed4HZSkkDI/AAAAAAAAAp8/66-lohSMD1MgQx6JhVwd5zl3-PhMhcU7wCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/dubai.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Most of the tourists visiting Dubai often tend to miss
out on all the wonderful places that are located outside the city limits. They
can be reached easily by taking a bike or a 4WD vehicle from the city of Dubai.
One such place is the United Arab Emirate's first unfenced nature conservation
reserve called the Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve. It is located in the
Emirate of Dubai within the desert area of Saih Al Salam and covers a
considerable portion of the emirate's overall land area. It also includes Al
Qudra Lakes and vast man-made wetlands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The savings made while booking your <a href="http://www.homeandawayholidays.co.uk/holidays/middle-east/dubai-holidays">cheap
holidays to Dubai</a> would allow you to witness this fascinating nature
reserve and indulge in some exciting activities. One of them is cycling through
the dunes of the desert area. The Al Qudra Cycling Path is located within a
short drive from the central part of the city of Dubai and has a track that
extends to about 86 kilometres. It would take you through the sandy terrain and
allow you to witness some awe-inspiring sights along the way. The main loop of
this track spans 50 kilometres and begins from Saih Al Salam. You can either
choose to go alone or in groups. It would take between 2-3 hours to complete
the track, depending upon your ability.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Watching the stars in the middle of the desert would
truly be a memorable experience. During your winter holidays spent in Dubai,
you can take one of the astro-tourism tours, which would give you the chance to
see the stars by travelling deep into the desert areas. It would be amazing to
see the countless number of stars illuminating the night sky. Stargazing has
always been of great significance among the people of the desert across Arabia
and you'll be provided with some interesting details by the guide accompanying
you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Your winter holidays in the city would also allow you
to watch some delightful species of birds and animals in the areas surrounding
the Al Qudra Lakes. They include the Oryx and more than 150 types of birds.
However, it is important to have the company of an experienced guide as the
wildlife must not be disturbed while in their natural environment. Among the
vulnerable and endangered species of birds are the Asian Houbara and the Steppe
Eagle. If you are a bird-watching enthusiast, you'll benefit immensely from a
full-day or half-day guided tour organised by one of the birding groups.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Another interesting activity worth trying is watching
one of the camel races that are held on the Al Marmoom Camel Racing track. It
would be quite a unique experience for you to witness the wonderfully-dressed
camels with robot jockeys in tow, huddled behind the gates. As soon as the race
begins, these camels run through the dirt track, often reaching the speed of 40
kilometres per hour. The owners follow them in their 4WD vehicles. During the
spring season, this venue hosts the Al Marmoom Heritage Festival, which is a
12-day event and attracts competitors from various places around the region.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The largest city of Turkey on the coast of the
Mediterranean, Antalya is visited by more than 12 million tourists from various
parts of the world every year. It was first settled during the rule of the King
of Pergamon, Attalus II, in the 2nd century BC. During those times, it was
called Attaleia or Attalia. Excavations carried out in 2008 revealed the
possibility of a town existing before the rebuilding of this city began. Over
the years, it came under the reign of many powerful empires such as the Romans,
the Seljuks, and the Ottomans. While enjoying your holidays in this Turkish
city, you'll get to visit its most popular attractions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">One of the places you must not miss during your <a href="http://www.homeandawayholidays.co.uk/holidays/europe/antalya-holidays">Antalya
holidays</a> is Kaleici, the old neighbourhood of the city, which is home to
some wonderful red-roofed mansions from the Ottoman era located along its
cobblestone streets. This part of Antalya also has many souvenir shops,
restaurants, boutique hotels, and art galleries. While taking a stroll in this
old neighbourhood of the city, you'll feel as if you've been transported to a
bygone era. Among the attractions located in this area are the main square
called 'Kale Kapisi' and a mosque dating back to the 18th century known as
'Tekeli Mehmet Pasa Mosque'.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">A visit to the Antalya Museum during your winter
holidays would give you some interesting insights into Turkish history. Also
called the Antalya Archaeological Museum, it is among the largest museums in
the country and is located in the Konyaalti District. It is spread across a
vast area of 7,000 square metres and is home to about 5,000 works of art. The
13 exhibition halls and an open-air gallery of this museum display the finest
artefacts that allow you to know more about the glorious past of the Pamphylia
and Mediterranean regions. You'll also find a 'Children's Section' in this
museum, where some antique moneyboxes and children's toys have been displayed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">If you are a history buff, you'll have a wonderful
time visiting the famous archaeological site of Aspendos, which is located 47
kilometres east of Antalya. It is home to an ancient Roman theatre, which has
been preserved well over the years and is one of the most popular tourist
attractions in the country today. Most of the ruins at the site of Aspendos were
built during the 2nd and 3rd centuries when the ancient town enjoyed its most
glorious period. The theatre has been fully restored today and can accommodate
15,000 spectators.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Your winter holidays spent in this Turkish coastal
city would also allow you to visit Konyaalti Beach, which is located to the
east of the city's town centre. It is set against the backdrop of picturesque
mountains and has become immensely popular among the tourists as well as
locals. This beach gets plenty of visitors during the summer season when the
locals and tourists arrive to enjoy sunbathing on its powdery sands. You can
also get umbrellas and sun loungers on rent at this beach.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">An archipelagic region of Tanzania, Zanzibar is a
fascinating African destination that delights you with its enchanting natural
beauty. This part of Africa has also preserved its rich cultural heritage,
which is an excellent mix of African, Arabian, and Indian cultures. Zanzibar
comprises several small islands and two large islands of Pemba and Unguja. With
so many choices in attractive islands and vast stretches of white-sand beaches,
you'll certainly have a wonderful time during your holidays spent in this
beautiful island destination.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">While enjoying your <a href="http://www.homeandawayholidays.co.uk/holidays/africa/zanzibar-holidays">Zanzibar
holidays</a>, you'll get the opportunity to indulge in some exciting outdoor
activities. Among them is a catamaran trip, which can be taken as a short
sailing tour or as a longer trip if you wish to go island-hopping. During such
tours, you'll also get the chance to enjoy diving and deep-sea fishing. You
would certainly benefit from the crew members accompanying you. Usually, you'll
have a dive instructor, a chef, a deckhand, and a skipper on board. These
catamaran trips can also be customised to suit your preferences. Some of the
catamarans have multiple cabins with excellent facilities provided in all of
them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">You'll also have a great time trying out deep-sea
fishing in the waters between Pemba and Unguja islands. The crystal-clear
turquoise waters surrounding the islands of Zanzibar and some fabulous
varieties of marine life in them provide ideal conditions for enjoying this
activity. Some good spots for deep-sea fishing also exist at certain places
near Latham and Mafia islands. These spots are quite untouched and are visited only
by a few of the local fishermen. Among the fish found near the coastline of
this amazing island destination are the marlin, sailfish, Dorado, wahoo, and
spearfish. If you wish to go fishing for tuna, the ideal time would be between
August and October.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">During your winter holidays spent on this island
destination, you can explore the most beautiful coral reefs off the Pemba
Island with scuba diving or snorkelling expeditions. These activities usually
begin with a short boat ride taken from any of the popular beaches on the
island. For the beginners, the offshore current from the island can be quite a
strong one. It is, therefore, recommended that they try the calmer and safer
waters. Snorkelling is best enjoyed in the waters surrounding the Unguja
Island, as its eastern barrier reef contains shallow and sheltered lagoons that
are home to some colourful varieties of marine beings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Jet-skiing and kite-surfing are the other adventurous
activities you can try during your winter holidays in this fantastic island
destination. The jet-skiing tours usually start from Nungwi and then you are
taken to the island of Tumbatu. Near this island, you'll get the chance to
relax or enjoy a good swim before cruising along the coastline. As the Zanzibar
has a tropical climate, kitesurfing can be great fun in the waters surrounding
its islands. You can choose to navigate the areas between the coral reef and
the coast, as it would be easier and a great learning experience.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">If you're an art lover, you'd certainly like to visit
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, also known as 'the Met'. It was founded in the
late 19th century and is one of America's most renowned museums. It houses over
2 million works of art that span a period of 5,000 years. There are three sites
of this museum spread across the city, but the prominent one among them is the

years, many colonial buildings have been preserved well in this island country
and the best example is Fort Adelaide or La Citadelle, which was built in the
19th century by the British. Port Louis Bazaar, Caudan Waterfront, Chinatown,

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">When you are in Marrakech, one of the largest cities
in Morocco, you can have some fabulous cultural experiences. This majestic city
is the capital of the Moroccan middle south-western region of Marrakech-Safi
and lies to the north of Atlas Mountains' foothills. It was founded by the
Almoravid dynasty in the 11th century and grew rapidly over the years,
establishing itself as an influential city with regards to religious, cultural,
and trade-related activities. The city, of course, witnessed a short period of
decline. However, it soon rose to prominence in the early 16th century and has
been of great importance ever since.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Among the most important attractions you'll get to explore
during your <a href="http://www.homeandawayholidays.co.uk/holidays/africa/marrakech-holidays">Marrakech
holidays</a> are the souks of the city's old neighbourhood, also known as
'medina'. The narrow alleyways of the old quarter would give you some pleasant
experiences as you see some rich colours, delightful scents, and unique sounds.
While taking a stroll through the maze of the medina, you'll get the chance to
enjoy some great shopping opportunities in the traditional markets called
'souks'. Some of the popular souks in this part of the city are Babouche Souk,
El Attarine Souk, Chouari Souk, and Cherratine Souk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Jemaa-el-Fna is one of the places you must not miss during
your winter holidays while visiting the medina. It is a large square located at
the entry to the old quarter of Marrakech and is a centre of public life in the
city. You can find a number of stalls at this place constantly abuzz with
activities. Besides all these stalls selling a wide range of items, you can
also find some talented local performers who come up with some entertaining
acts. Among them are storytellers, snake charmers, and street musicians. You
can also choose to watch the bustling activities of this square from one of the
restaurants or rooftop cafes nearby.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">While enjoying your winter holidays in this city,
you'll also get to explore the Koutoubia Mosque, which is one of the popular
landmarks in this part of Morocco. It also has a 70-metre-tall minaret, which
can be spotted from greater distances. According to a local legend, the muezzin
of this mosque had to be blind, as the minaret was tall enough to overlook the
harem of the ruler. A muezzin is a man who calls the faithful for prayer to the
mosque. Built during the 12th century, Koutoubia Mosque is considered one of
the greatest examples of Almohad architecture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Marrakech Museum is also worth exploring during your
holiday spent in the city. It has been housed in the Dar Menebhi Palace, which
was built on the orders of Mehdi Menebhi towards the end of the 19th century.
This palace was renovated with great care by the Omar Benjelloun Foundation and
converted into a museum in 1997. You'll come across fountains, traditional
seating areas, and some intricate works on the tiles while getting around in
the museum. Its large atrium has been covered in fabric and glass, while a few
elements of the original courtyard have been retained, such as the mosaics and
basins.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">When you are in the transcontinental city of Istanbul,
you'll have plenty of things worth seeing. This Turkish city was coveted by
various empires in the past for centuries. Based on the Neolithic artefacts
discovered at the beginning of the 21st century by archaeologists, the history
of this city goes as far back as 6000 BCE. However, the history of the city
proper began with it being established as Byzantium by Greek settlers around
660 BCE on the Bosphorus strait's European side. Later it was ruled by the
Romans and Ottoman Turks. During your winter holidays spent in this city,
you'll get the chance to explore its popular attractions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Among the most prominent ones you can visit during your
<a href="http://www.homeandawayholidays.co.uk/holidays/europe/istanbul-holidays">Istanbul
holidays</a> is Aya Sofya. Also called Hagia Sophia, it was first built as a
cathedral at the beginning of the Middle Ages in 360 AD and it became famous
for its massive dome. When it was built, it was the largest building in the
world and was considered an engineering marvel. During the mid-15th century, it
was converted into a mosque when the Ottomans established their rule over the
region. When it was a church, the area surrounding the throne of the emperor
within the church was considered the world's centre.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Yet another architectural marvel is the Sultan Ahmed
Mosque, which is popularly known as the 'Blue Mosque'. It gets its nickname
from the blue shades on its domes and minarets, as well as the hand-painted
blue tiles in its interiors. The mosque was built on the orders of Sultan Ahmed
I in the early 17th century. It had caused much furore across the Islamic world
when it was finished owing to its six minarets, which matched the number of
minarets of the Great Mosque of Mecca. A seventh minaret had to be gifted to
the mosque of Mecca to put an end to the dissent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">During your winter holidays in Istanbul, you'll also
get to explore the Topkapi Palace. It was first constructed on the orders of
Sultan Mehmed II, also known as Mehmed the Conqueror. This palace is located
beside the Bosphorus and was the home of the Ottoman Sultans until the 19th
century. You'll come across some fascinating works of Islamic art while
exploring this building. Among the major highlights of this grand palace are
its Harem and the Second Court. While exploring the Third Court, you can browse
the intriguing collection of Prophet Muhammad's relics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">One of the most awe-inspiring attractions you'll get
to witness while holidaying in this Turkish city is the Basilica Cistern. It
comprises a massive underground hall, which looks like a palace and has 336
columns supporting it in 12 rows. The cistern was once used to store the
imperial water supply to be used by the Byzantine emperors. The construction of
this cistern began during the rule of Constantine the Great but was finished in
the 6th century during the reign of Emperor Justinian. Most of the columns that
were used while constructing the cistern were brought from earlier classical
structures.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Goa every year mainly due to the presence of many sandy beaches in this Indian
state, which is the smallest in the country with regards to total land area.
However, you'll also get ample opportunities to indulge in some exciting
activities in this part of the world while enjoying your winter holidays. As
the coastline of Goa stretches along the Arabian Sea, most of the activities
would be water-based. You can also enjoy some activities that are arranged by

jump. You must not have a heart problem, high blood pressure, back-ache,

get into the waters. You can have a guaranteed booking of the slots by paying
in advance to pre-book the trip. Such tours also require you to wear secure

to Phuket</a> as well as your accommodation for the period between May and
October, you can have greater savings in the form of discounts, as this is not
a peak tourist season. There are lesser crowds and the hotels and airlines
would be quite forthcoming in offering attractive discounts on bookings made
for this season. However, if you choose to be in Phuket during this time of the
year, you'll have to deal with heavy rains. The best time to visit this part of
Thailand is from November to April. Although the Thai province is characterised
by pleasant daytime temperatures during this time of the year, it would be
extremely difficult to get good discounts on hotel stays and flights as it is a
peak tourist season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

island. It sits on top of the hills of Nakkerd between Chalong and Kata. Once

jade marble and reinforced concrete in 2004. You'll also find a statue with a
golden shade, which is made of brass and is smaller than the Big Buddha statue.

would be the right choice. This island nation comprises 26 atolls or
ring-shaped coral reefs and is among the most beautiful places on the planet.

'Maldives International Airport'. It is located on Hulhule Island near the
capital, Male, and has excellent connectivity to many of the major airports in
the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

at the airport before boarding the next flight. If you are one of those travellers
who wish to go sightseeing instead of just remaining at the airport, you can
get out of the airport and begin getting around in the capital. As it is one of
the world's smallest national capitals, you would have no problems in exploring
the major attractions within a short time. You'll notice that Male has a
grid-like pattern and is full of office buildings, shops, and apartment blocks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">While taking a walk around the nation's capital, you
must be dressed in decent attire as Maldives is a conservative nation. The
capital is an ideal place to wander around and visit the popular places. After
you've had enough of sightseeing, you can enjoy some moments of relaxation at
Sultan Park. It has been created at the site where the Royal Palace stood
before its demolition in the 16th century. Well-known for its green
surroundings and quiet environs, Sultan Park is a large public park and has
been maintained well by the authorities. It follows a strict policy against
loitering, which means that the individuals who are caught spoiling the park would
be fined heavily.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The opportunities to have loads of fun can be many
while you are in Dubai, a glamorous metropolis in the United Arab Emirates
(UAE). While getting around in this Emirati city, you'll come across towering
high-rises, a desert outside the city limits, and some intriguing historical
attractions. The tremendous growth that this city has witnessed over the past
couple of decades is quite astonishing. Owing to such developments, tourists
visiting this part of the UAE have a wide range of choices today when it comes
to attractions and activities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">You can have greater savings if you book your <a href="http://www.homeandawayholidays.co.uk/flights/middle-east/cheap-flights-to-dubai">flights
to Dubai</a> several months in advance. The amount saved can then be utilised
while holidaying in the city to explore the most popular places and to try some
exciting adventures. Among them are the different kinds of rides that you can
take by moving away from the city. Once you go beyond the city limits, you'll
find many different terrains worth exploring. They include vast expanses of
desert areas, mesmerising valleys, and mountain passes. Driving through the
desert would be quite adventurous, as every turn would be unpredictable. For
such rides, it is necessary that the driver of your all-terrain vehicle is a
qualified and experienced one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">By booking such tours with one of the leading tour
operators, you can have some unforgettable experiences on the dunes of the
desert. If you wish to learn to drive one of these vehicles, take a short
course that perfectly balances theory and practical training. Once you get into
the all-terrain vehicle, you can head to Fossil Rock on the way towards Hatta.
Also known as Jebel Malaiha, it has been named after the prehistoric fossils
found along its slopes. You can access this large outcrop through a sandy dirt
track. The dunes on the way are suitable for all driving levels.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Mountain climbing is another great activity you can
try during your time spent in Dubai. There are some challenging mountainous
terrains located at a short drive from the city. One of them is the
15-kilometre trek to Pink Rocks from Nazwa Road. You can head east towards the
Pink Rocks once you are off-road. The drive from Dubai to Hatta takes about an
hour and you'll be delighted to witness the dramatic mountain landscapes and
magnificent dunes. You can have some fun on the sand while driving your vehicle
or climbing the rocky outcrops around the valleys.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">A quad-biking tour on the dunes of the desert would
allow you to feel the sand as these vehicles have no windows, doors, or a roof.
They are equipped with a 750cc engine and have a roll cage, safety harness, and
a bucket seat. Some of the tour operators offer full-day quad bike safaris on
the dunes that are more than 45 degrees steep. You can also find companies that
provide quad bike and buggy rentals at affordable prices. If you have rented a
four-wheel-drive, make sure that you have the right equipment to be used in the
event of a breakdown. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

thousand islands and grouped into 26 atolls or ring-shaped coral reefs. This
gives tourists visiting this country some diverse options in islands to choose
from. Until the late 20th century, Maldives was not as popular among tourists

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Marrakech is a North African country that has
continued to fascinate numerous travellers. It is one of the imperial cities of
Morocco and the fourth largest in the country. According to the historical
sources, the region in which the city is situated has been inhabited since the
Neolithic period by the Berber farmers. However, the city was founded
officially by the cousin of the Almoravid king, Abu Bakr Ibn Umar in the 11th
century. Most of the buildings and red walls that you'll come across in the
city during your sightseeing trips were built in the years that followed after
its founding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

savour some fantastic colours, sounds, and scents as you begin exploring the
neighbourhood. You'll love taking a stroll through the maze of alleys, which
also give you many opportunities to shop for some attractive souvenirs. The
traditional markets in this part of Marrakech are called 'souks' and they have
a range of items worth buying, such as shoes, perfumes, spices, and leather
goods. You can visit the tanneries located to the west of the main souk area,
where the tanning and dyeing are done in an old-fashioned manner even today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">One of the attractions you must never miss while
getting around in the city is Jemaa el Fna. It is a large square located at the
entrance to the old town and plays an important role in the lives of the
locals. You'll find many stalls at this square and some great entertainment
provided by the local musicians, snake-charmers, and storytellers. If you do
not wish to indulge in shopping or watching these performances, head to any of

Koutoubia Mosque, which has an extremely tall minaret visible from all corners
of Marrakech. According to the local legends, the man who called the faithful
for prayer had to be blind during the days when it was first built. The reason
for it was that the minaret overlooked the king's harem owing to its unusual
height. Built in the 12th century, this mosque is considered to be one of
Almohad architecture's greatest achievements. You can admire the mosque and its
minaret from outside if you are a non-Muslim, as only Muslims are allowed
inside the mosque.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

attractions you'll get to visit while holidaying in the city. They date back to
the 16th century and are home to several members of the Saadian dynasty. You'll
like the atmosphere where the mausoleums have been built. These tombs were all
walled up by members of the Alaouite dynasty and were rediscovered much later
in the early 20th century. The tombs built at this place are of the successors
and closest relatives of the ruler, Al Mansour.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Another delightful aspect of the Emirati culture is
the traditional arts and crafts, which is still practised in the city and its
surrounding regions. One of them is the Arab calligraphy, which represents
beauty, unity, and power. Every year, the Dubai International Arabic
Calligraphy Exhibition features the works of famous calligraphers. The
exhibition also allows you to learn this fabulous art through workshops
conducted by calligraphy experts. You can also get a glimpse of the Emirati
traditions in the traditional methods of weaving used by the Bedouin women
while creating some attractive fabrics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">While exploring the historic Al Fahidi Fort, you'll
get the chance to learn more about the city's Bedouin traditions and its past
as a pearl-trading hub. The Bedouins were the desert region's earliest
inhabitants, who travelled through the dunes with their livestock. Camels were
used by them not only as a mode of transport through the desert but also as a
source of milk and meat. You can get such valuable insights into the lives of
Bedouins with the help of exhibits housed in the Dubai Museum. They take you on
a journey to the emirate's past dating back to the third millennium BC.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Other museums in the city would also allow you to
explore the history and traditions of this region. Among them is the Saruq Al
Hadid Museum, which is home to artefacts from the Iron Age. They have been
brought from an archaeological site located on the Rub al-Khali desert's edge.
A visit to the Etihad Museum would allow you to browse through a series of
educational and interactive exhibits, which commemorate the formation of the
country. You'll be able to know how the United Arab Emirates developed over the
years through the photos and films.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Mountains. This beach also has some excellent features, such as free changing
rooms, showers, and patrols by lifeguards. During the summer season, this beach

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">It is the presence of some fabulous beaches that
attract tourists to Goa from different parts of the world. However, there are
many other attractions you can explore during your time spent in this renowned
Indian state. Among them are the museums, which offer some valuable insights
into the history and culture of Goa. If you are a history buff, you would
cherish your time spent in some of these museums, browsing through the
artefacts that date back several centuries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

flights to Goa</a> to have greater savings, which can be utilised while
exploring these museums. Among them is the Archaeological Museum of Goa housed
in the convent that was formerly a part of the Church of St Francis of Assisi.
It houses several artefacts from the days when this region was under the rule
of the Portuguese. The archaeological treasures have been kept in eight
different galleries. Some of the most important ones are the portraits of
Governors and Viceroys of Goa from the colonial era. This museum also contains
an excellent collection of religious artefacts and stamps. It is open from
Saturday to Thursday between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Another museum worth exploring is the Museum of
Christian Art located in the Convent of Santa Monica in Velha Goa. The building
of the convent is of great architectural importance owing to its interesting
history. You can get to this museum from Margao or the capital city, Panaji.
You can witness an interesting collection of paintings, statues, and carved ivory
created by the local artisans. An interesting fact is that many of the people
who created these brilliant artefacts were Hindu artists. The rich collection
of this museum has been well-maintained over the years. It remains open on all
days of the week between 9:30 am to 5:00 pm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

one of its kind in the whole of Asia, the Naval Aviation Museum is an
interesting museum you can explore while in Goa. The interiors of this museum
have been designed to resemble the interiors of INS Viraat, the naval aircraft
carrier of India. It displays aircraft that were used by the Indian Navy
throughout its history in an open-air gallery. You can also browse several
galleries of this museum where the naval equipment is displayed. The Naval
Aviation Museum is located on the Vasco-Bogmalo road, which is about 6
kilometres away from the port town of Vasco da Gama.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The Ancestral Goa theme park located in the Loutolim
village is yet another fantastic attraction that gives you a glimpse of Goa's
rich history, culture, and the lives of its people. The people of this state
imbibed various customs and traditions during the times in history when it was
ruled by Hindu, Muslim, and Portuguese rulers. Although the state has managed to
keep up with the changing times, it still hasn't lost its rich cultural
heritage and age-old traditions. You can have some wonderful cultural
experiences while getting around in this theme park which appears more like an
outdoor museum.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Eco-tourism has been gaining popularity in Dubai since
the past few years owing to its potential for attracting tourists from
different parts of the world and giving them the chance to explore the local
flora and fauna without causing harm to the environment. You can enjoy a guided
tour and witness panoramic views of the desert landscape by visiting the Dubai
Desert Conservation Reserve. In recent times, families visiting Dubai can enjoy
great adventures in 'Dubai Safari Park' and the city's very own tropical
rainforest called 'The Green Planet'. By visiting these attractions, the
children can have some great learning opportunities as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

flights to Dubai</a> would give you a significant amount of savings, which can
be utilised to explore the eco-tourist havens in the city and its surrounding
regions. One of the best ways to enjoy some desert experiences would be to book
an expedition to the desert with any of the local operators. Such expeditions
give you the chance to stay in one of the desert retreats and have an authentic
Arabian experience. You can travel across the golden dunes in a Land Rover and
discover the region's unique wildlife. Traditional camel rides can also be
enjoyed in these areas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">One of the best destinations for eco-tourism in this
Emirati city is the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, which is among the
largest areas in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to have been declared by the
government as a protected nature reserve. It covers an area of over 200 square
kilometres and is fenced to protect the varied species of plants, birds,
mammals, and reptiles that are housed within its boundaries. You can also enjoy
some exciting activities while exploring this reserve without causing any
disturbance to its natural habitat. These activities include safaris, treks,
camel rides, falconry, and sandboarding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Another fabulous place for eco-tourism is the Al
Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve project, which covers 10 per cent of the
total land area of Dubai. It is also home to Mohammed Bin Rashid Solar Park,
which is the largest renewable energy project of the region. This reserve has
an abundance of the region's native wildlife and is well-known for its
initiatives that promote sustainability. You can find the largest population of
Arabian Oryx in this part of Dubai and it also provides refuge to several other
endangered species. Also located within this conservation reserve is a famous
archaeological site called Saruq Al Hadid.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

while holidaying in the city would give you the chance to see the amazing
turtles without any entry fees or bookings. They are housed in the Turtle
Lagoon, which is open to the public and can be reached via Jumeirah Al Naseem.
Feedings for the turtles are held every Wednesday at 11:00 in the morning on
Turtle Island. The Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project is the only project of
its kind in the entire region and is run in collaboration with the Emirates
Wildlife Protection Office. Since the project began in 2004, more than 500
turtles have been rescued and released back into the water.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">If you are in Bangkok just for a day or two, you might
not get the chance to explore all the popular attractions in the Thai capital.
However, there are certain places you can explore to get a better understanding
of what the city is all about. These places are an excellent combination of
cultural attractions and outdoor activities. As the vibrant capital of Thailand
allows you to explore some unique sights, fabulous experiences, and delightful
cuisine, your short stay in this Thai city can be a memorable one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The amount saved while booking your <a href="http://www.homeandawayholidays.co.uk/flights/far-east/cheap-flights-to-bangkok">cheap
flights to Bangkok</a> can be utilised while exploring some of the most popular
attractions in the capital city. One of them is the Grand Palace, the most
famous among the city's landmarks. It was constructed in the late 18th century
and was used as the residence of the Thai king, the administrative seat of the Thai
government, and the Royal court for 150 years. Even today, the palace continues
to charm visitors with its fascinating architecture and intricate works of art
by the Thai craftsmen. You can also find some impressive structures within the
palace complex, such as the Wat Phra Kaew or 'Temple of the Emerald Buddha'.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Before merging into Bangkok, Thonburi was an
independent province. Situated on the Chao Phraya River's western banks, it has
been largely untouched by the modern developments and still retains the
man-made network of canals or 'khlongs', such as Khlong Bangkok Noi and Khlong
Mon. Navigating these khlongs are the flat-bottom boats and painted long-tail
boats. They can be hired from any of the major tourist piers, such as Maharaj,
Rivercity, and Taksin. Visit the Royal Barges Museum located on the northern
rim of Klong Bangkok Noi to browse through some uniquely decorated barges and
boats of Thailand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Situated on the banks of Chao Phraya River, Wat Arun
is yet another mesmerising Buddhist temple worth visiting. It is locally called
'Wat Chaeng' and has a design that's quite different from the other temples in
the Thai capital. This temple is located opposite another beautiful temple
called 'Wat Pho' and can be reached by taking a boat from the Saphan Taksin
boat pier. Wat Arun looks very attractive after sunset when it is illuminated
by bright lights. If you wish to have lesser crowds around you while visiting
this temple, arrive during early hours of the morning. Make sure that you are
dressed appropriately while visiting this temple.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Don't miss the Chinatown of Bangkok, where most of the
city's Chinese community resides. It is located in the Yaowarat district and
has not been affected by the rapid urbanisation that the capital of Thailand
has undergone since the late 20th century. The entrance to this neighbourhood
is marked by a unique Chinese gate and the main roads lead to a series of small
roads, backstreets, and narrow alleys. One of the biggest attractions of this
neighbourhood is the Temple of Golden Buddha. Although there are no big clubs
or bars in this area, you can certainly enjoy some great dining experiences
after sunset.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
