While a whole lot of residents are still in a holiday hangover from the amazing New Year's celebrations here, there are a lot of travel promos available even now. Here are just some of the great destinations you can visit for extremely low prices.*
Doha - from Dh430
Doha, which is considered as one of the world's New7Wonders Cities since 2015, is another gem of the Middle East besides the UAE. The Doha skyline is not to be missed as well as places such as the Museum of Islamic Arts and Katara Cultural Village - the latter providing a slice of Doha as it once was. And don't forget the amazing shopping in all the malls and the souks.
Beirut - from Dh625
Another New7Wonder City, the Lebanese capital is known for its leisurely strolls around the city especially the glamor of nightlife. Expect to experience a festive getaway here and see the jovial side of Arabic culture. Not a partygoer? Beirut is also known for its natural landmarks such as caves. There are also museums and souks for your last minute souvenir shopping.
Kochi - from Dh515
Known as the Queen of the Arabian Sea, the serenity of Kochi has been attracting traders and explorers for over 600 years. It is a mix of cultures with inspirations from China, Portugal, Holland and the UK all serving as testaments to its storied past as a maritime city. While there you can enjoy majestic sunsets and if you're coming as couple, Kochi is as romantic as it can get.
Mumbai - from Dh620
The home of Bollywood, and many of the country's billionaires. Mumbai is a beautiful contradiction - on one end you get the simpler and more modest households and one the other there are the lavish mansions. You'll definitely be welcomed to the Indian culture here and rightfully so, since Mumbai is known as the "Gateway to India."
