Cape Town calling.
Earlier this summer it was confirmed that UAE and Saudi Arabia nationals can visit South Africa without a visa.
With a long weekend on the horizon, we think this calls for an opportunity to see some of the most beautiful sites in Cape Town, including famed Table Mountain, colourful Bo-Kaap neighbourhood, and penguins at Boulders Bay.
