A Girl’s Guide to Middle East – The Safer, The Better!

First things first – I always thought it is unsafe for women to travel to Middle East because of the huge cultural gap that exists between the countries here and in the rest of the world. However, now things are a little different with me and I know exactly how to address women who’re travelling alone in the Middle East. 

So, this blog is for those girls who’ve already made their min about travelling to countries in the Middle East, and it aims to cover exactly everything that you need – from the tips, to the stuff you need to carry and even the slightest details that may be necessary. 

Middle East – Seeking beauty Through The Eyes Of A Traveler Woman 

The Middle East may seem like an exclusive destination to some female travelers, but over the years it has developed beautifully in terms of culture that there’s no reason why women should miss out on visiting this fascinating country, rich with history, a unique culture and beautiful scenery.

Despite the vast cultural differences in attitudes to women, this is the land that women would love to explore. With a little common sense, and a respect for cultural and religious differences, you can still travel and stay safe in the Middle East.

Answering your question – To Cover or Not To Cover 

The first thing that strikes in the mind of most women like me is how important it is to cover your body when in Middle East – and the answer is – ‘Yes, it is important except a few of them where it is still okay to not cover the body.’

Unless you’re travelling to a part of the Middle East that requires you to do so by law (such as Iran, Yemen and Saudi Arabia), there is no need to cover your hair. In fact, if you’re not a Muslim and do not wish to a hijab it is okay – just make sure you dress respectfully. 

A scarf is always considered a funky accessory, and you can simply wear it on your head covering the hair when in or around the mosques in the area. Look around and see what the locals are wearing, since this is of maximum help in deciding your outfit. 

As for the beach area, it is okay to wear whatever you want to and nobody would really question you. But, just remember just because it is okay to wear whatever you want to, you should. Unless you’re travelling to a part of the Middle East that requires you to do so by law (such as Iran, Yemen and Saudi Arabia), there is no need to cover your hair.

A Little Shukran Goes A Long Way 

While being able to communicate in Arabic is simply difficult, learning some things very important will help you. The locals here may not be comfortable in communicating in English, so try to learn the basics of Arabic – easy communication techniques that go a long way. 

Greet them with salam alaykum (literally, peace be upon you) and thank by saying shukran – you’ll be able to relate with them in some way or the other. 

Other Necessary Tips – 

1. Share information wisely 
2. Decide where to stay before you reach there
3. Gather knowledge of the place and people
4. Ask the locals for advice
5. Be prepared pharmaceutically 

All the information provided above is all women need to know when travelling to the countries in the Middle East. 

Just one tip – avoid getting in long conversations with people you do not know and if you feel uncomfortable about any advances say no immediately. 

And, since you’re a woman traveler, just remember to be proud of your decision to travel, because not every day a woman decides to travel to the Middle East – you’re courageous, confident and beautiful.

March – Your Travel Destinations for The Month

It’s going to be ides of March in just one more day and if you’re still sitting and wondering whether or not you should travel somewhere, believe me you’re just wasting time. March is a beautiful month for travelers and for those who love to spend some alone time with their families, away from the monotonous work routines. 

Stop wasting your time thinking whether this is the right time to travel, rather just pick out a beautiful destination from one of these mentioned below and happily make the time of your lives. 

Mentioned below are the top destinations you can explore in the month of March – 

1. Las Vegas – If you take the line that it doesn’t matter when you visit the Sin City – for you will be locked in the casino trebling your life savings – then the temperature outside is irrelevant. But Nevada’s big beast is arguably near its best in March – not so hot that you cannot brave the poolside, not given over to the desert chill either. A brief flight away in Arizona, however, the more elevated Grand Canyon may be dusted with snow – which is all the more reason to visit one of the world’s greatest natural wonders.
2. Dubai – Sometimes it is hard to imagine Dubai as it was barely more than a century ago – a fishing village gazing at the Persian Gulf. But now – it is one of the top travel destinations for people from all over the globe. The skyscrapers, the palm island and everything else in it is what makes it the perfect place to explore on a long holiday in March. Certainly, it was a place far removed from the metropolis that beckons travelers today – its Atlantis The Palm and Burj Al Arab resorts smiling for the cameras. But then, if you come for the luxury to be found in both, or the reliable warmth outside, such back stories scarcely matter.
3. Madrid – Madrid sheds her winter skin in March, so this is the perfect month for you to put on your travel shoes. When the clocks go forward a magic a wave of warmth gushes into the city and loosens up its reserved exterior. Madrid's expansive parks burst into bloom and locals tumble out onto the streets to sip caipirinhas and dance till dawn. Temperatures stay around 20ºC (far more gentle than the capital's sizzling summers), meaning you can explore its world-class galleries, belle-époque mansions and designer boutiques without breaking a sweat. There's a great traditional tapas to be had, but make sure you leave time to try the city's newer breed of stylish gastrobars. Just don't plan anything more than a siesta afterwards. 

Just one tip – these three destinations are should be on the top of your list because these are the places that’ll make your March an amazing one. And, if you’re just not ready for these, there are more that you can pick from the globe keeping in mind the weather conditions as well as the budget. 

While you plan on the destination, I will prepare a list of the next best travel destinations for me – because travelling is all the soul needs! 

Happy March!

The Old Be The New – Here’s Why Elderly People Should Start Travelling

You’ve seen us grow, you’ve seen us get better, get foolish and get mad; but we’ve never seen you like this – we’ve travelled because we always had someone to look after our needs, but now it’s time for you to travel – yes, it’s time for all the elderly people to pack their bags and get ready for the trip of their lives. 

Wondering? Well don’t because even if you’re 70 you can always get ready to travel, wherever you want to. Here are the top 5 reasons why elderly people should leave everything they’re doing and start travelling – 

1. You’ve lived your life for us, now is the time to live it for yourself – Yes, you’ve loved all your life for your children and now is exactly the time when you can do things for yourself. If you planned to go to a place but couldn’t because you had to give the tuition fees of your child, go there now. It’ll give you the feeling of accomplishment. 
2. Travelling will make you admire the things less traversed – Appreciative of the old things? Go to the far off places, where history resides so you can talk to yourself and admire everything that’s just as old as you or even older than you think it is. Life’s all about knowing that there’s beauty in travelling and appreciating the things that are old. 
3. Travel because you need fresh air – Don’t let the chains of family hold you back, travel because you need fresh air. You need that freedom to see the things that you’ve always appreciated from a certain distance. Don’t delay any longer; pack your bags, and begin travelling who knows what tomorrow has in store for you.
4. You need some alone time with your partner – Only travel gives you enough time to spend with the love of your life and happiness is all about travelling with them. While the normal days keep you caught up with work travelling with your partner rekindles the romance and makes things beautiful again. 
5. Because you’ve got one life – Life is too short to not do the things that make you feel happy, so when you have the time and opportunity do it. Travel is the one thing that will always make you feel good about your body and mind, so when life gives you the chance grab it with both hands. 

And, once again – you’ve spent your life living for your family and children; for once it’s time to live it for yourself. So if there’s a destination on your mind or a favorite place you’ve always wanted to travel do it now – there’s no better time than today. 

Dear elderly all, 

Happy Travelling!

However, I am not one of those – I will tell you the secret – I will tell you about the only two tips you need to know about before you start to create your amazing travel diary.

Let’s get started! 

Cheap Airfare Tip 1. Look out for online and offline travel agencies – Believe me when I say – research is the most important thing to do. There are hundreds of travel agencies online and offline – reach out to them all and ask about the airfare.

Travelling isn’t about spending a lot of money – it means being able to relax and believe me when things like airfare bother you and burn a hole in your pocket, there’s no chance you’ll be able to enjoy. So forget about everything else and start with some research about the travel agencies and the airfare they charge. 

Cheap Airfare Tip 2. Buy air tickets online from The Savvy Flyer – The Savvy Flyer is an online travel agency that provides a comprehensive range of travel services ranging from business class flights, first class flights and premium economy flights spanning the globe and an extensive range of worldwide hotels at industry beating prices. In addition they can provide private chauffeur transfers to the airport, airport car parking and private transfers once you arrive at your destination. Whatever your travel needs, they’ve got it covered for you.

So, now when people tell you about all the things about travel, know you do not need to worry – because I’ve all told you the tips to buy cheap airfares – and at the end that’s all that matters. 

The Secrets to Finding the Cheapest Airfare Online

• Consider travelling on weekdays – Now that’s a tip from me! Weekends are usually costlier than week days, so it is best to travel on a weekday. The reason behind this is that not many people travel on weekdays; therefore, the cost is lower on those days. Save your money, travel on weekdays!
• Smart travel on weekends – Smartness is knowing how you can manage your expenses on a weekend travel – if you’ve already got some idea about your travel plans, try getting your tickets booked earlier. This is the only smart thing you can do when finding cheapest airfare online.
