When you listen to how much at least a flight costs here, it seems that a vacation in the Emirates is for the “chosen ones”. Since there is a scorching sun during the day, the UAE is still classified as a “beach holiday”. At this time, the Emirates arrange a bunch of festivals and exhibitions.

United Arab Emirates always very colorful: tall singing fountains, fireworks, laser shows…

Palm Philippine Islands are in demand towards the end of winter. Courageous tourists risk coming here all year round, because cyclones are not protracted.

What to watch? The most visited tourist point is. For your information, until November it is usually closed in order to prevent environmental problems. Considering that the bulk of tourists get to the island from the airport in Manila, there is a great opportunity to travel around the country a little.

People come to the Philippines most often for a peaceful vacation or to dive. Places for noisy parties are also available here, but, of course, not in such numbers as in Thailand.

Here, as in most countries of Southeast Asia, there is a dry season and a rainy one. From the beginning of December is the best time to travel to the Philippines.

An interesting feature is that in this country it is customary to give “tips” everywhere. Waiters, couriers, maids, even pool cleaners. Being greedy in the Philippines is bad form!

Ski resorts in Europe

And if you get bored of spending your vacation on the beach? Winter lovers will appreciate the romance ski resorts. European countries offer unique tourist bases in the mountains, where you can ride professional ski slopes, or master the initial level (it is possible that your coach will be some visiting champion in cross-country skiing or biathlon). In addition, how facade Europe is transformed during the New Year holidays! Around the garlands with light bulbs, illuminating figures, Christmas markets, actors dressed as Santa Claus or Joulupukki scurry through the streets and squares.

Austria

Austria is rightfully considered the mecca of winter resorts. The mountain ranges made it possible to build chic tourist areas here: steep / gentle slopes, cleaned to a shine and always covered with snow. In December, most likely, you should not expect snowfall, but artificial snow will be added to you. The best skiing in Austria: Tyrol, Salzburg, Selden.

Please remember that hotel rooms in famous resorts must be booked in advance. The phrase "Prepare the sleigh in the summer" fits here.

I have been to Egypt several times, in many cities. Of course Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh were also on the list.
You can scold Egypt or Turkey as much as you like, but everyone has a different budget, preferences during their holidays, and it’s stupid to think that Egypt or Turkey is
just lounging on the beach with a cocktail, (although this option is also good!).

In Thailand, especially if the budget is limited, there is no point in booking an expensive hotel room.
There is something to do here: active travelers will walk a lot, drive, see the sights, and those who like the sun, the sea and the pool will also not be in vain. In general, Thailand is not a country where there is nothing to do but sit in a room.
Inexpensive in Thailand, you can relax in Pattaya and Phuket. The pros and cons of both resorts can be discussed for a long time, but in short, in Pattaya is better with excursions, transport, traffic, and beaches in Phukta are cleaner.
On the short term it is cheaper to buy a tour to Thailand than to organize a trip yourself.
