Wanderlust Footstep

It's hard to believe that the bucolic village of Hatta is just a 90-minute drive from the megalopolis that is Dubai. The tiny town is a great place to learn about rural mountainous life in the Emirate, as well as enjoy outdoor activities like horseback riding, mountain biking, and kayaking.

Giethoorn.
Giethoorn is a fairytale Dutch village dotted with beautiful reed beds, lakes, and forests. It has many farms with thatched roofs and wooden bridges. From glorious seaside promenades to grand architecture and nostalgic charm, Giethoorn has it all.
