Middle East

Within Egypt Makadi Bay is a beautiful holiday destination, which is located just thirty minutes away from Hurghada – which is the local airport to the area, just close to the beautiful Red Sea. Just from that it gives a hint to just how stunning this location is, however I will elaborate. This resort is an amazing place to be, even when you think about what else is in Egypt it is one more thing that the area can offer holiday makers. The first thing you will think of when you see Makadi Bay in your mind is the white beaches, the blue and crystal clear waters, and the marine life. Meaning you can snorkel and drive in safety to see all of the amazing fish. Any lovers of the outdoors, explorers, and those looking for new sights and sounds will adore their stay in Makadi Bay, as there is something new to discover when you are here.

It’s not just sea life and new experiences you can do here, there are many other things you can do to enjoy your time. Whether you want to relax in a spa, get your hair done, enjoy many water sports or get involved in other sports, they are all available here for you to try. Try camel and horseback riding, it gives you a relaxed way of taking in all that is to offer from your surroundings. Children can get involved in many activities, joining you in the camel or horse riding, or getting to know the animals and marine life, they can learn so much from being in the water with them that will hopefully last long past the holiday and into their lives. Don’t forget they can get involved in beach sports such as volleyball. Try your hotel and see what sporting activities they offer for you and your family.

Don’t just spend your time on the outdoor activities on the beach and in the sea, there are things you can do in the evenings and night times indoors too. From restaurants, to discos you can enjoy your nights until the early hours. The night life is strong and you won’t fail to enjoy yourself with the great music and vast array of cuisine available on a daily basis. So you can wear yourself out during the day, eat up in the evening and party the night away.

A nice holiday means good weather, and an attractive selling point of this location is the brilliant weather on offer all year round. Which means it is an idea resort to visit whenever you want to take a break from working. Even take a visit if you are just visiting Egypt in general, take a break from the hustle of the bigger cities – and experience somewhere a bit warmer in the winter months. No matter what you are into there is plenty of experiences for you to take part in, enjoying the beaches, snorkelling – you are not going to be short of things to do. It will be great alone, or as a family to spend some time together relaxing with a drink in your hand. :)Travel Feeder, your ultimate photo travel guide

It is the desert city that, in the last 30 years, has risen from the sands of the Middle East to become one of the world’s most glamorous destinations. Dubai is the place that has it all: uber-chic hotels, fine restaurants, luxury resorts and – in the towering shape of the Burj Khalifa – the world’s tallest building, a skyscraper that pierces the heavens at 818 metres. As a result, it has become incredibly popular with holidaymakers – and is hugely accessible with it. Flights to Dubai jet into this gilded emirate from all over the planet. Better than all this, though, Dubai is a shopping mecca – a temple of commerce and ringing tills where those who want to indulge in a little (or a lot of) retail therapy will be very happy. Especially if they want to splash the cash in the following enticing hotspots:

1) The Gold Souk

All that glitters is not always gold – but those who venture to Dubai’s fabled Gold Souk can assess the truth of this proverb amid long rows of stores where the finest jewellery and luxury items make for an Aladdin’s Cave of a shopping experience. Pitched in the Deira area of Dubai, on the north bank of the Khor Dubai creek – and specifically at the junction of Souk Deira Street and Al Souk – this is a place where you should keep an eye on your wallet and sunglasses. Not because there’s a danger of theft – more because the urge to buy could leave a big hole in your bank account (though there are bargains to be had too). And you will need your shades to protect your vision from the all-round gleam.

2) The Spice Souk

If the Gold Souk does sparkling 21st century temptation, the Spice Souk delivers a rather more time-honoured version of the marketplace. Also cocooned within the Deira district, on Sikhat Al Khail Road, this mildly chaotic enclave of open stalls and family businesses is alive with the aroma of cinnamon and cardamom – both of which, along with hundreds of other culinary catalysts, are on sale here. The main joy, however, is the cluttered ambience, which harks back to a simpler age. This is a sensation that is repeated on the far side of the creek in the Bastakiya district, where the cafes, galleries and courtyard hotels dotted on narrow alleys seem far removed from the glitz, glint and glamour prevalent elsewhere.

3) The Malls

However, for most visitors to Dubai, the shopping clarion call comes not from the souks but from the massive malls that crop up all over the city. And ‘massive’ is certainly the correct word here – though you might also use ‘gigantic’ and ‘colossal’. These palaces to purchasing power contain just about every major brand you could list. The Dubai Mall plays host to over 1000 separate shops – making The Mall Of The Emirates with just the 500 or so outlets, look small in comparison. That said, this second option has an unbeatable attraction in its ski dome, where you can glide on real snow. In Dubai, everything is possible. :) Travel Feeder, your ultimate photo travel blog

Guest Post by Hannah Copues I was tiresome of holidaying in the buzzing metropolitan city destination, the crowded hubs that provide little more than historical enrichment and the adrenaline junkie holidays that leave you more than ready to hibernate in your comfy bed for about a year. I must admit and you can probably presume [...]

I was still a student when I first saw the movie Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade and was totally amazed by the magnificent scenes of the movie backdrops. I actually thought who was the art director behind that created such magnificent rock carved architectures in the mountain and did not realize it is actually [...]
