Myanmar – formerly known as Burma
Following the lifting of Western sanctions Myanmar has become a hot “now” destination for tourists offering the chance to see a country where the 21st-century world has barely intruded. It has some wondrous sights: a thousand temples scattered across the countryside in Bagan; the leg-rowers and floating gardens of Inle Lake, and majestic.
Ayeyarwady rivers. Here there is still a strong sense of the old Orient to experience.
Niue – The Rock of Polynesia
When you're the world's smallest independent nation you're allowed to be different - and Niue is very different. Don't expect the standard Pacific island experience: you won't be relaxing on palm-fringed beaches here, because there aren't any.

Sundowner Desert Tour
A stopover in Dubai isn’t complete without a trip to the desert! A Sundowner tour with Arabian Adventures is even better: sand-dune driving in modern 4x4s , sunset photo stop, falcon show, camel rides, henna hand tattoos (not compulsory!), Arabic buffet dinner, belly-dancers and Shisha pipes under the desert stars…all with the expertise and knowledge of the Arabian Adventures guides. Don’t miss is! Can be booked through Globe Travel and more info at: https://www.arabian-adventures.com/en/tours-and-safaris/find-tours-and-safaris/tour_details.aspx?id=682823
Dubai for Families
There is so much to see and do! Starting with The Dubai Mall at the base of the Burj Khalifa – a trip to the Observation Deck unmissable, of course – followed by KidZania or SEGA Republic for Dad and the kids (depending on the children’s age) while Mum shops to her heart’s content! The Dubai Mall is also home to the impressive Dubai Aquarium and Dubai Ice Rink, so plenty to keep everyone amused. If the temperatures are soaring outside grab a taxi to the Mall of The Emirates’ Indoor Ski Slope for some fun in the snow. They also have toboggans for the little ones so the whole family can join in. And last but not least some water fun! Take the kids to Wild Wadi Waterpark next to the famous Burj Al Arab, with 30 rides and attractions for all age-groups. Alternatively the Aquaventure Waterpark at Atlantis on the Palm is newer and less crowded; here you will find the famous “The Leap of Faith” slide – not for the faint hearted (age-restrictions apply) – and Dolphin Experience and ‘Lost Chambers of Atlantis’ Aquarium. You can definitely spend a whole day at Atlantis with many food & drink outlets available.
Dubai Night-Life
If you are looking for night-life in Dubai and don’t want to stick to the hotel bars & restaurants (which are excellent), then head on down to watch the Dubai Fountain Shows from one of the many dining options around the Burj Khalifa Lake (next to The Dubai Mall). The shows start at 6 pm and are on every half an hour. The ideal spots are the restaurant balconies on the 1st floor, depending on the outdoor temperature when you are visiting Dubai. There you can sit and enjoy a meal whilst watching the entertainment.
Another great area for dining and entertainment is the Souk Madinat Jumeirah, near the Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Burj Al Arab. It’s a modern Arabian souk with enchanted walkways and bridges across the waterways with 44 world-class restaurants, bars & lounges to choose from! When picking a restaurant do check whether they are dry or serve alcohol (not all of them do).
