Africa » Egypt » Red Sea » Sharm el-Sheikh September 27th 2013

It is about time to end my stint with Sharm El Sheikh and before I board my flights back home, here is some more on my holiday to this stunning resort of Egypt. Weather has been good all through the length of my trip and conducive for various desirable and pleasurable outdoor activities. There is marked difference between the day and night temperatures. Eating Out It is fun to hop across many bars and restaurants savoring the local and international cuisines. Quite obviously, the most popular beaches are also dotted with the most popular bars and restaurants. Our stay at the Naama-Bay lent us the opportunity to explore some of the finest of these restaurants. We have tried Hadaba’s IL Mercato restaurant for lip-smacking fish cuisines and other sea foods; it is a place that every ... read more

Africa » Egypt » Red Sea » Sharm el-Sheikh September 25th 2013

I have been in Sharm El Sheikh for a couple of days now; and with a plethora of activities available to indulge here throughout the day and night, as well as the incessant fun and entertainment, carousing, revelries, and most of all the indescribable grandeur of the nature, this extraordinary Red Sea resort in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt didn’t have to try hard to seduce me. Unsurprisingly, no new posts in my blog days after my flight landed here is testimony to the riveting time that I have had so far during my stay. A wide array of things to do here left no time for me to worry about the world; put aside my blog! Accommodation We checked into Novotel as soon as we got off out flights here. Like most other resorts in ... read more

Middle East » United Arab Emirates » Sharjah September 17th 2013

Sharjah needs no introduction and is dubbed as the Cultural Capital of the UAE by the locals as well as foreign tourists taking flights to the city. Having read and researched a lot about this emirate before booking my flights, I was not much surprised to find that the city is a far cry from the quintessential glitz and glamour that UAE’s most popular emirate, Dubai, features. Fortunately, history and culture is one of my favourite holiday interests and Sharjah had enough to keep me engaged for several days at a stretch. I was amazed to find that the city packs in a staggering assortment of thought-provoking museums that aptly justify its epithet. Here’s a little smattering just some of these that I visited on my trip to the emirate. Art Museum This star attraction of ... read more

Middle East » United Arab Emirates September 3rd 2013

Cairo’s awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza, imposing Sphinx, fascinating River Nile, bustling city bazaars, enchanting culture and warm hospitality, and myriad opportunities to shop and dine like locals and much more compel countless holidaymakers into booking flights tickets to the city for rewarding holidays. I was on my Egypt holiday a year back and visited Cairo, the largest city in the Arab world. Every true blue Egypt lover booking tickets on flights to the country and arriving in Cairo has pyramids on their mind and so did we. Like most of tourists, we landed up at Giza not long after disembarking our flights at Cairo Airport. Without doubt and quite obviously, the sense of standing before its most identifiable landmarks, the Great Pyramids, seemed far more thrilling than seeing them so far only in movies like ‘The ... read more

Dubai is one of the most popular holiday destinations among Britons. As per Foreign and Commonwealth Office, “over a million British visitors travel to the UAE every year and more than 100,000 British nationals are resident there”. Female tourists travelling to Dubai is very common. While it can be said that most visits of foreigners to Dubai are trouble free, one must remain heedful of essential tips to score unruffled holidays here. Particularly, women travelling alone must not let their guard down. The city is largely safe for solo women visitors yet they have little more to consider than just booking cheap flights to this emirate of UAE. For solo women arriving on flights to this beautiful city of UAE, Dubai offers a diverse range of hotels that suit everyone’s pocket and preferences. Solo women travellers ... read more
