Umm Suqeim Beach In The Shadow Of The Burj Al Arab Hotel
The luxurious Burj Al Arab hotel is one of Dubai's most recognised landmarks. While most of us will never get to stay there, it is possible to sunbathe (fairly) close by on the Umm Suqeim public beach. The beautiful, white sands and waves gently lapping make Umm Suqeim an ideal place to relax. It offers some of the best views of the Burj Al Arab hotel and Dubai city tour buses pass along the road next to the beach to afford tourists a photo opportunity.
The Great British Columbia Spring Break Getaway
Our family looks forward to spending time together, and I really enjoy those special times. We all have hectic schedules, and sometimes I think my life consists of ferrying kids to soccer practice or something like that. So we all gather at some point during the fall – to check the calendar and pick a destination for our spring break getaway. Choices – boy, do we ever have a lot of those when looking around British Columbia for a family vacation.
A Real Old West Experience - Frontier Days in Wyoming
This is a wonderful guest post from Carol Atkins who kindly wrote about a visit to Cheyenne, Wyoming in search of the Old West. My husband Ed and I are from Fort Worth, Texas, so we grew up with tales of cowboys and cattle drives. When we went to Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming, we wanted an authentic taste of the Old West. We did it all – parades, rodeos and concerts.
France's Most Visited Place: Fontainebleau Castle and Forest
Apart from the ever romantically famous Eiffel Tower, France is known for its wildlife and forest attractions. Fontainebleau Castle and Forest has been noted to have 13 million visitors yearly, surpassing the Eiffel Tower, with only 6 million visitors. Fontainebleau Forest is protected by France’s Office National des Forets which has 25,000 hectares of forest surrounding the vicinity of Fontainebleau and its neighbouring villages.
Charyn Canyon Valley of the Castles
215km east of Almaty towards the border with China is the Charyn Canyon National Park. Although it is nowhere near the size of America's Grand Canyon, the Charyn Canyon is also a spectacular place to visit. Stretching almost 150km in length and dropping to 300m in places, there is one area of the canyon that is of particular interest. The Valley of the Castles (known locally as Dolina Zamkov), this is the most commonly visited section of Charyn Canyon.
Lavenham Medieval Market Town
If you ever visit the heart of Suffolk, you will find a number of medieval market towns that prospered from the wool trade during the 15th and 16th centuries. Places like Bury St Edmunds, Long Melford and others all have a charm of their own but without doubt, the most enthralling is Lavenham. At its height, Lavenham was among the top 20 wealthiest places in England as the it reaped the rewards of the wool trade paying more tax that the large centres of Lincoln and York.
