Picturesque landscapes: New Zealand

Business & Lifestyle Publishing

New Zealand has to be one of my top five destinations not because it is on the way home for me when I travel back to Fiji Islands but the terrain truly is breathtaking. From spectacular glaciers, rugged mountains, vast plains, rolling hillsides, subtropical forests, volcanic plateaus to miles of coastline with beautiful sandy beaches. New Zealand has two main islands, the North Island and the South Island and many smaller islands lie offshore. The country enjoys varied landscape and dramatic geographical features and is a popular location for tourists as well as the production of TV programmes and films, including The Lord of the … Continue reading Picturesque landscapes: New Zealand

Business & Lifestyle Publishing

On a recent trip to Miami, I spent a few days cruising with the Royal Caribbean Cruises and found that the best place to wind down afterwards was at the St. Regis Bal Harbour. Located on the beachfront, the hotel is at the intersection of art, fashion, and design across the street from Bal Harbour Shops. As someone who is on an airplane almost every month of the year, I found the hotel perfect for today’s affluent global travellers who prefer hotels that make them feel at home.

Harmony of the Seas The World’s Largest Cruise ship

Business & Lifestyle Publishing

My first cruise holiday started with Royal Caribbean seven years ago setting sail from Barcelona for a week exploring different European cities along the way and even for a seasoned traveller like me, I was impressed and came to the conclusion that to really unwind, there is no better way than being on a ship miles away from distraction. Especially as the team at Royal Caribbean looked after my daughter as their own leaving me to enjoy the spa and activities on board. Few weeks ago I boarded again a Royal Caribbean ship that currently is the biggest cruise ship … Continue reading Harmony of the Seas The World’s Largest Cruise ship

As one of the most famous archeological sites in the world, Petra features rust-colored hills, ancient tombs and temples and ancient Nabataean architecture dating back to the time when Petra was the Nabataean capital and a primary trading city along the famous Silk Road. The city of Petra, capital of the Nabataean Arabs, is located 240 km south of the capital, Amman, and 120 km north of the red sea town of Aqaba.

Picturesque Borneo

Business & Lifestyle Publishing

Borneo is divided between Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei so visitors get the best of everything that this part of Asia has to offer. When living in Malaysia for nine years, Borneo attracted me mainly for their Eco Tourism activities and being an islander, a slice of Island life that I missed living in Kuala Lumpur. Visiting Borneo now from Dubai is a bit of a trot but made easier with Brunei Air, which gives GCC residents a gateway into Borneo and the opportunity to visit two countries on one trip. With a stop over for as long as you want … Continue reading Picturesque Borneo

Business & Lifestyle Publishing

Why Malta? While Malta is an attractive tourist destination that offers the best of everything one would look for in a holiday destination, one of the reasons that pull people into Malta is the country lifestyle and the desire to make it into a permanent home, especially in the current scenario in the Middle East where thousands of displaced families are looking to find a base that is stable and makes them feel secure permanently.
