    7 unusual getaways less than 4 hours from Dubai to travel to this long weekend

    by

    The upcoming long weekend is the perfect opportunity to trade Dubai’s glittering skyline for an unforgettable getaway—and you don’t need to venture far to experience something extraordinary.
    Whether you’re craving pristine beaches, misty mountains, or cities rich in culture and history, these seven destinations are all just a short flight away, each offering a unique escape from the ordinary.

    A Tapestry of Culture, Jungle, and Coast
    Just four hours from Dubai, Sri Lanka’s vibrant capital, Colombo, serves as the perfect gateway to an island brimming with natural beauty and cultural treasures. Beyond the city’s colonial architecture and bustling markets, the real magic lies in the countryside.
    Picture yourself sipping freshly brewed Ceylon tea while overlooking endless emerald tea plantations, or boarding the iconic Kandy-to-Ella train, a journey that winds through misty hills, past cascading waterfalls, and into the heart of Sri Lanka’s lush highlands. For the adventurous, a sunrise climb up Sigiriya Rock—an ancient fortress rising dramatically from the jungle—is a must, rewarding hikers with panoramic views. If relaxation is the priority, the south coast’s golden beaches, like Dalawella, offer swaying palms and tranquil waters. Whether you’re exploring ancient temples, spotting elephants on safari, or simply unwinding at a boutique tea estate, Sri Lanka blends adventure and serenity effortlessly, making it the perfect destination this Eid Al Adha.
    Kannur, India

    Kerala’s Best-Kept Secret
    For those who’ve already experienced Kerala’s famous backwaters, Kannur—just a three-and-a-half-hour flight from Dubai—offers a quieter, more authentic slice of South India. This coastal gem was once a hub of the spice trade, and its history lingers in the Portuguese and Dutch forts that dot the shoreline. St. Angelo Fort, perched overlooking the Arabian Sea, is a highlight, its weathered walls whispering tales of colonial conquests. Nearby, Muzhappilangad Drive-In Beach invites a unique experience: cruising along the sand with the waves lapping at your tires. Culture enthusiasts shouldn’t miss Theyyam, a mesmerizing ritual dance performed in temples across the region, where elaborately costumed dancers channel deities in a trance-like spectacle. And no visit is complete without indulging in Malabar cuisine—think fragrant seafood curries, fluffy appams, and rich, coconut-infused stews. For a truly serene stay, The Raviz Kadavu offers backwater villas and Ayurvedic spa treatments, ensuring total relaxation.
    Kathmandu, Nepal

    Where Chaos Meets Enlightenment
    A mere four-hour flight transports you to Kathmandu, a city that assaults the senses in the best possible way. The air hums with the scent of incense, the chatter of market vendors, and the rhythmic chants from ancient temples. Start your journey in Durbar Square, a UNESCO-listed maze of palaces and shrines where sadhus (holy men) and street sellers create a living tapestry of Nepali life.
    Nearby, the monkey-filled alleys of Swayambhunath (the Monkey Temple) offer panoramic views of the city, while the massive stupa of Boudhanath draws pilgrims and visitors alike to its peaceful, prayer-flag-draped courtyard. For a taste of local flavor, Thamel’s labyrinthine streets are packed with cozy cafés serving steaming bowls of momos and hearty dal bhat. If the urban energy becomes overwhelming, a short trip to the Chandragiri Hills provides respite, with cable cars leading to breathtaking Himalayan vistas—on clear days, even Mount Everest is visible. Kathmandu is a city that demands patience, but those who embrace its chaos leave with unforgettable memories.
    Tbilisi, Georgia

    A Feast for the Senses
    Georgia’s charming capital, just over three hours from Dubai, is a dream for foodies, history lovers, and design enthusiasts alike. Meander through the cobbled streets of the Old Town, where ornate wooden balconies lean over hidden wine bars and sulfur bathhouses emit plumes of steam. The culinary scene alone is worth the trip—indulge in khachapuri (cheese-filled bread boats), succulent khinkali dumplings, and pkhali (walnut-studded vegetable pâtés). For a dose of history, the Narikala Fortress offers sweeping city views, while the Dry Bridge Flea Market is a treasure trove of Soviet-era relics, vintage jewelry, and quirky antiques. Stay at the Stamba Hotel, a stylish conversion of a former printing house where books line the walls and the vibe is effortlessly cool. With its mix of old-world charm and modern creativity, Tbilisi is a city that lingers in your heart long after departure – a supreme choice for this Eid al Adha.
    Larnaca, Cyprus

    Sun, Sea, and Ancient History
    Just four and a half hours from Dubai, Larnaca combines Mediterranean relaxation with fascinating history. The city’s coastline stretches for 75 kilometers, offering sandy beaches where you can kitesurf, dive to shipwrecks, or simply soak up the sun. The iconic Hala Sultan Tekke, a serene mosque perched on the edge of Larnaca Salt Lake, is a must-visit, especially in winter when flocks of pink flamingos descend upon the waters. History buffs will appreciate the Church of Saint Lazarus, a stunning 9th-century Orthodox church said to house the tomb of Lazarus himself. For a taste of traditional Cypriot life, wander the old Turkish quarter, where bougainvillea-draped houses hide cozy tavernas serving mezze feasts of halloumi, grilled octopus, and slow-cooked lamb. With its blend of beachside bliss and cultural depth, Larnaca is the ideal Eid retreat.
    Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan

    Central Asia’s Unsung Gem
    Four hours from Dubai lies Bishkek, a city where Soviet grandeur meets nomadic spirit. Wide boulevards lined with towering oak trees lead to bustling bazaars, where vendors sell everything from fresh honey to handwoven shyrdak rugs. Ala-Too Square, the city’s heart, is flanked by the imposing State Historical Museum, its Soviet-era mosaics telling Kyrgyzstan’s complex story. Art lovers should seek out Gallery M, a contemporary space showcasing local painters and sculptors. For a taste of the countryside, take a day trip to Ala-Archa National Park, where alpine meadows and snow-capped peaks provide a stunning backdrop for hiking. Bishkek’s café culture thrives too—stop by a traditional chaikhana (tea house) for steaming bowls of laghman noodles and endless cups of fragrant green tea. With its mix of urban energy and wild nature, Bishkek is a refreshingly off-the-radar escape.
    Mahé, Seychelles

    Photo by Christian Cacciamani on Unsplash
    Paradise in Just Over Four Hours
    For those craving pure tropical bliss, Mahé—the largest island in the Seychelles—is just over four hours from Dubai. Picture powder-soft beaches framed by granite boulders, turquoise waters teeming with marine life, and lush rainforests alive with rare birds. Spend your days snorkeling in Anse Intendance, hiking through Morne Seychellois National Park, or browsing the vibrant stalls of Victoria’s market, where vanilla pods and fresh coconuts abound. Luxury resorts like the Four Seasons offer overwater villas and private beaches, while boutique guesthouses provide a more intimate experience. With its year-round sunshine and laid-back island rhythm, Mahé is the ultimate Eid escape for sun-seekers and romantics alike.
    This long weekend, skip the usual destinations and venture somewhere new—whether it’s the misty hills of Sri Lanka, the spice-scented streets of Kannur, or the sun-drenched shores of Cyprus. Each of these escapes promises adventure, relaxation, and memories to last long after the holiday ends. All you need to do is choose your favorite and pack your bags!

      9 short flight countries to visit from the UAE

      by

      Life

      by Vanessa Gainford
      2 mins ago

      A last-minute trip is much more practical if it’s a short flight, as it avoids losing days to travel and to jet lag.
      There are an array of places surrounding the UAE that are just a short flight away, from skiing in Georgia to relaxing in the Seychelles.
      9 editor-approved short flight countries to visit from the UAE
      Maldives

      The Maldives is a destination that UAE residents commonly book. A four-hour flight takes you to crystal turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and white sand beaches – the ultimate description of paradise. With many Atolls and resorts to choose from, rest assured that wherever your choice, you will be encompassed by luxury and leave feeling like your trip has been longer than just four days.
      Zanzibar, Tanzania

      This East African country is enriched in history and is home to Mount Kilimanjaro and is just under a six-hour flight away from the UAE. Zanzibar is a choice for those who want relaxation combined with adventure. Take a safari in the Serengeti National Park or take a boat trip to Prison Island or even just while away the hours with a stroll along Nungwi beach. However you opt to spend your stay, Hakuna Matata will be your new motto.
      Istanbul, Turkey

      Just a five-hour flight from Dubai, Istanbul is the perfect place for a city escape. This is a destination for those who like to be on the go as it’s likely you will spend your time in Istanbul eating, as you try local delicacies, and walking as you explore. Visit the Hagia Sophia Mosque and formerly Cathedral to understand the cultural history of the capital or wander the Grand Bazaar and Spice Market to discover what treasures the city has to offer.
      Jordan

      Not too far away from the UAE is Jordan. Jordan has many attractions for tourists from a dip in the Dead Sea to visiting ancient ruins. For accommodation, you can relax at a beach resort in Aqaba or stay in a bubble campsite to stargaze before you fall asleep. Jordan is also home to one of the seven wonders of the world, the archaeological site of Petra, which no matter how short your trip is, should not be missed. Best of all? The flight is only three hours.
      Georgia

      Black sand beaches to mountain villages, Georgia is increasingly becoming a destination of interest, particularly as it’s just a three-and-a-half-hour flight from the UAE. December to April is the time to book for ski season but the capital of Tbilisi is ideal to explore all year around. The diversity of the old town’s cobbled streets in comparison to the coastal botanical gardens of Batumi and vast landscape of Lake Rica are part of Georgia’s charm.
      Crete, Greece

      The largest Greek island of Crete is the closest to the UAE and has so much to offer. The main town of Heraklion is by a harbour with fresh seafood, local eateries and stores embodying Greek life at its finest. If you plan to go now, the cooler weather allows you to explore without worrying about the heat. The cooler weather means you most likely won’t be sunbathing on Elafonisi beach when you visit but you will be able to appreciate the pink sand beach without the masses of tourists. However, as summer is fast approaching it’s also the ideal destination for sun, sand and sea.
      Cairo, Egypt

      Situated on the Nile River, Cairo is the largest city in Africa. This destination is for the explorers and history-lovers as just a short while away is Giza, the site of the iconic pyramids and Great Sphinx. A day spent here discovering the ancient Egyptian artwfacts should be followed by an evening trying local delicacies; falafel, mahshi and most importantly karkadeh, a traditional hibiscus tea.
      Seychelles

      Another destination in the Indian Ocean is the Seychelles. Similar to the Maldives pristine white sand beaches, yet with the addition of the Morne Seychellois National park. The Seychelles is one of the world’s smallest countries where relaxation goes hand in hand with nature and the preservation of the 115 beautiful islands.
      Oman

      Potentially the shortest flight on this list. Oman is just 50 minutes by plane, so saves a four-hour drive and border crossings. Stay in the mountains in Jabal Akhdar where you can abseil or cycle through the mountain ranges. Find a desert camp in a Wadi where you can relax with traditional spa treatments. You will be buried in the sand before enjoying traditional Omani Shuwa. A visit to the capital of Muscat will keep you on your toes as you discover the history of the country.
