Honeymoon Destinations: January

sure, since u will book a honeymoon suite in a hotel, they will give you loads of ideas of where to visit etc etc and help you plan ur stay. Dubai hotels are REALLY good at helping you with things like this and arrange transport aswell however some of my fave things are as follows…

The desert safari in dubai, they usually arrange ur transport to the desert, and then you get to do dune bashing, sunset photography, henna, shisha, belly dancing and usually there is an amazing tent area set up usually with air condition where u can enjoy a lovely arabian meal and then music and entertainment..my friend said it was very romantic…

another fave is the dhow cruise on the creek. ITS AMAZING!!! you can have a romantic meal with ur hubby and just enjoy the sights of dubai…its usually at night, as ur hotel staff they will arrange it.

apart from all that there are great places to dine, sightseeing of course especially if u havnt been to dubai everything is like OVER THE TOP amazing haha…and jumeirah beach…Gold souk where all the gold is just hanging for you to see…malls etc

if u like water sports there is all of that in jumeirah…u cud even go further on to sharjah and abu dhabi…

i cud go on and on but thats all i can think of now from my own trips/word of mouth…good luck :smiley: xxx

Re: Honeymoon Destinations: January

i would say go to turkey

Re: Honeymoon Destinations: January

my recommendations are Greece, Turkey, and Egypt from your list, but i'm biased and would say the Maldives only because I just got back from my honeymoon there. It was a total surprise from my husband and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We stayed on an island resort in Kuramathi, and although the journey was super long 24 hours including layovers, since we're coming from the US, it was incredible. the water was turquoise, the sand was white, the villas were nice and service was great plus all the meals were inclusive and we just ate our hearts out! we went snorkeling and swimming with sharks, and watched sting rays being fed...there's a lot to do and especially great if you're muslim because everything was halal and the service people were south asian from all over and took care of us pretty well!

good luck - anywhere you go on your honeymoon will be amazing for many reasons :)

In January Istanbul have heavy rain and sometime flood too.

I would love to go to Maldivies, but.. luv.. wanna go to some cultural place. She said their will be not much to do in Maldives apart of lying in front of beach...

Re: Honeymoon Destinations: January

hey why don't you book a trip to SWAT, i hear "tourism is back" in that area. while your at it, help out or cheer on your young jawaans. or are you too afraid?

wow such a retarded. but oh well here is your answer:

I already visited most of the Northern Area's and was in Swat in 2004. I would love to go again, but as we visit Pakistan a lot, so visiting Swat might not be a problem.

and.. honeymoon should be in peace you know ;)

Egypt is confirmed, now their is a tie between Maldives & Dubai.

We want to stay at some tropical resort after ramblings in Egypt.

:hmmm:..
