Dubai Holidays

My holidays in Dubai till now are the best where I experienced most exotic landscape, tourism and weather. Dubai has many attractions and is on its way to create more. It is one of the most technologically advanced cities but still has well preserved its ancient historical and cultural heritage and monuments.

On our visit to Dubai, I was around eighteen and was with my family. The best part of the trip that I liked the most was that of desert safari. I sat on the first seat of the jeep and I felt as if we were having a roller coaster ride on the sand dunes. During our safari, we also took camel ride and ate some traditional food there. Also I managed to learn skiing on the sand. That was really very funny experience. If you are not willing for adventurous activities, don’t worry, Dubai has other various activities for you. How about shopping in Dubai? We went to various shops, what they call as souks. Jewellery in Dubai is most demanded well and is available at a cheaper rate with a good quality. We shopped for a pair of earrings and a set for my mum. We also shopped for some accessories, clothes from duty free shops at the airport. Shopping there was a great fun. Not only this, we went to see the most famous and luxurious Burj al Arab hotel, which is considered to be the first seven star hotel in the world. Another famous destination in Dubai is the Palm Islands trio. Some of the attractions in Dubai are solely made with the purpose to promote tourism, so you will not have any chance to get bored once you go to Dubai.

Hisaronu Holidays – Turkey

I think we had been given a brilliant suggestion by my friends, to visit this small town Hisaronu Resort in Turkey. Hisaronu, is a very calm and pleasant town during day time. But it becomes lively during night hours, as it has many nightclubs and pubs to entertain the tourists during night.

Hisaronu has a lot to offer the visitors. Ranging from pleasant and cool climate, beautiful palm trees and lot of adventurous water activities and impressive beaches, you will find everything in Hisaronu. And I cannot forget the market place there.  This town is filled with small colorful markets offering everything of daily use as well as for luxury.

The closest and most famous beach near Hisaronu is Olu Deniz. This beach has white sand and has very marvelous scenery. We opted to relax for sometime on the beach. But there were many water sports as well like scuba diving, snorkeling, jet skiing and more. There were wooden boat trips too.

You will find that accommodation in Hisaronu is usually on the mountain slope above the sensational Olu Deniz beach and most of the properties are covered with pine trees. So it does not matter which property you select, you will always get a view of the stunning mountains and beautiful green pine trees.

We spent time to explore this town on foot and also explored a few neighboring villages and towns on the local small cabs known as dolmus. This small and hilly region has lot to be explored and is very easy and convenient. We did not get tired touring this town, instead were delighted by its beauty. Holidays to Turkey
