Why You Should Fly To Dubai In 2012

-
Eight million tourists booked flights to Dubai in 2011. This Emirate is definitely on the up. Glass skyscrapers shimmer like oases in the sun; the coast is a heavenly mix of golden beaches, swaying palms and water that’s as clear as that found in a swimming pool. 

The city may be a little contrived, built out of, well nothing - a vast open, dry desert, but it has been transformed into an adults playground. Do we need to give you any more reasons to fly to Dubai? Here are a few more just for good measure.   

The Price
You can fly to Dubai from the UK with Dial A Flight for just over £300, return. There are few other destinations at this price where you can take off in the middle of winter and land in year-round summer. Plus it’s a quick and easy flight. It takes just seven hours to fly to Dubai and a whole range of airlines will take you there from several regional UK airports. 

The Diversity
In Dubai you can spend your morning lazing on the beach, your afternoon shopping in a traditional Middle Eastern bazaar and go skiing on real snow in the evening. Where else in the world can you do that all in one day? Ski Dubai is a huge indoor ski slope complete with real snow and the first indoor chair lift. However, it’s not as huge as the shopping mall that houses it. Mall of the Emirates is one of the largest malls in the world. It boasts 520 international brands and aside from the ski slope it has two hotels, a community theatre, arts centre, 14-screen multiplex cinema and 85 coffee shops and restaurants.

The Luxury
There are 48 five-star luxury hotels in Dubai. The Armani Hotel in Dubai is the first from the luxury fashion designer Giogio Armani, and as you can expect it is stylish, sleek and opulent. The Banyan Tree hotel group boasts some of the best hotels in the world and its Al Wadi Resort and Spa is the cream of the crop. It lays claim to 3,960 square metres of Asian-inspired hydrotherapy spa facilities and it’s the first desert resort hotel to offer an all-pool villa concept. This desert oasis also has an 18-hole championship golf course and a 60-hectare nature reserve.

Two Amazing Fijian Islands As an archipelago of islands in the Pacific Ocean, Fiji spoils us for choice when looking for an island paradise getaway. Choosing where to go can however be problematic, as there is such an abundance of islands to pick rom.  The Yasawa Island chain running away from the West Coast of Viti Levu (one of the two main large islands in Fiji) is an excellent place to start. Choosing from this chain of islands is also helpful for anyone on a budget or those who would like to tap into the Backpacker atmosphere, although this can be avoided entirely as the islands offer plenty of isolation. With over 20 Islands in the chain, here are two of the top picks for Pacific Island bliss. Nacula Island Due to their volcanic past many of the islands in the Yasawa group have steep summits, however Nacula Island at the end of the chain consists of more gentle hills. This provides the opportunity for a relaxing stroll to the hill top to view the amazing sunset on offer i

Turkey is a holiday haven for British tourists, but just off the beaten track there are stunning local communities, virgin beaches and simple restaurants that are rarely full of the bustling tourists that pack the crowded resort beaches. Guest article from Andy who is a travel advisor and blogger currently working for Simpson Travel.com Butterfly Valley A beach where the only access is by a 50 minute hike from the road or by boat from Olu Deniz is sure to be peaceful. The spectacularly located beach resides at the bottom of a valley, surrounded by cliffs. The beach provides plenty shaded area, but do take plenty of supplies with you as it is a trip for a whole day. Ovabuku Found on the Datca peninsula, this beach exists on a small stretch along with two other beaches, the Hayitbuku and the Kizilbuk, but this beach is by far the most accommodating with a number of fine restaurants close by. The pine forests surrounding the beach do everything to cap off the beauty of this bea
