Family Holidays (From UAE)?
 
Anyone have a travel agent they would recommend?

I've been on a real holiday with the wife once (Bali - so would prefer somewhere else), since we moved out here, we have had to split our time between Scotland and Brazil and that either leaves us with not enough holidays or not enough money for anywhere else. This year we appear to have a little more money and some holidays to use since we are skipping Brazil for 2014.

November is when we are likely to be wanting to go, and bearing in mind at that time I will have a 3 year old and a 1 year old (where the hell has the time went!), any suggestions for somewhere not so far away, direct from UAE (not fussed if it's AUH/DWC/DXB), and relatively child friendly?

Budget is a difficult one, however I guess we won't go all-inclusive, we'd like to keep the hotel and flight bill around the 5-7k USD mark total. Obviously cheaper if possible.

For those with young families, what are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
Brian

Greece could be in with a shout.

I think it would frustrate me having worked with so many Sri Lankans here! But heard good reviews, so will check it out!
