Hey -
I am wondering if anyone has any good suggestions on where to go from Dubai for a week.
I'm going to Dubai from London in October for 16 days to see some family, I have booked the flghts from London to Dubai but that is all so far. I'd like to see my family for 4/5 days then travel/fly on somewhere else for a week on my own before going back to Dubai for a couple of days then back to London.
I've had suggestions of Maldives and Seychelles from family but also been advised as a solo female there isn't much to do aside from some watersports and they are both expensive. Mauritius has also been mentioned, but it is a 6-7 hour flight which may be a bit much on top of the flights to and from Dubai.
Can anyone think of somewhere with a direct flight from Dubai that isn't a long flight (<3 hours say), female solo traveller friendly, not too expensive. I'd like a few day trips, a few days being lazy, but I have a small disability so sports and tiring activities would not be on the cards, but I also don't really want to sit around all day. I'm interested in local culture and horticulture.
If anyone can think of any suggestions I would be very grateful. Thanks!!
