Christmas, sorry
Ok summer hols sorted... Now where's a good place to go for Christmas from Riyadh? Just one change would be good with two children and hubby in tow. Any ideas. I know it'll be expensive but I'm saving on not sending any pressies home so... any recommendations?
Cheers Hippa:D |
Re: Christmas, sorry
If you have a vague idea of where you want to be, why not stick a pin randomly into a map? doing this in the past has led to some suprisingly off-beat but interesting holidays. (Tehran, anyone? No? )

Cheers Hippa:D Surely the correct answer would be anywhere would be better than Riyadh? Slightly more helpfully, what type of Christmas do you want? Tropical, snowy etc |

Re: Christmas, sorry
You could do the US with no stops, much less one. Or head south and enjoy summer - as if the Saudi heat wasn't enough...
I'd personally be tempted by Tokyo or Seoul. Cold but fun, and (kind of) Christmas without the shutdown... |

Come to Dubai, it has more of a Christmas feel than a lot of other places. If you want some snow go to Ski Dubai :)
Although the turkey we ordered was incredible. We're away this year somewhere warm, maybe Oz, not sure though. |

Re: Christmas, sorry
Thanks folks.. Was considering Sri Lanka and Thailand. Just trawling Expedia at the moment, possible 2/3 changes. Anyone recommend any other websites to trawl through. I just want two weeks on the beach drinking cocktails and the kids kept entertained. Like I have nothing better to do............ erm actually I dont!!!!

Cherating Beach, Malaysia or Bintan Island Indonesia. You can conbine the former with a KL city break and the later with a few nights in Singapore if you wish. Not cheap mind but the kids will love it. |
