1 Petra, JORDAN
The Lost City of Petra has a charm like none other. The stunning landscape is matched with a rich history dating back to pre-historic times. A bucket-list worthy destination for history buffs, Petra offers an attraction for people of various faiths. This city that is literally carved into distinct red sandstone cliffs is home to caves, temples, tombs, and stories of a lost civilisation. While most visitors go to Petra just for the day, spending a night here is absolutely magical. Spend an evening under the stars, cherish a meal cooked over an open fire and soak in the history dating back many centuries. You can also book a traditional Bedouin cave to stay overnight. visitpetra.jo
2 Sharjah, UAE
Sandwiched between the Gulf of Persia and Gulf of Oman, Sharjah has a gorgeous coastline. From luxury beachfront properties to African style tents and ambient heritage hotels, there's a varied choice of accommodation and experiences. Being the cultural hub of the UAE, there's a range of museums that offer a glimpse into the rich history of the region. Heart of Sharjah, a cultural heritage project that aims to preserve and restore the old town of Sharjah, is particularly impressive as it brings to life a bygone era. It is even home to the oldest souk in the UAE. You can plan a fab girls trip with each day offering a different experience. There are souks for shopaholics, and world-class museums for art aficionados. Adventure enthusiasts can pick from extreme off roading, dune bashing, or kayaking. If it's a laid-back weekend, simply soak in the gorgeous sunsets over undulating dunes, the views of rugged Hajar mountains from Khor Fakkan, or enjoy the beautiful butterflies fluttering about at Al Noor Island. visitsharjah.com
