INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS

BEST CITY

Dubai, UAE

FROM PICTURESQUE beaches and dramatic deserts to award-winning restaurants and magnificent cityscapes, Dubai offers an unforgettable experience to visitors making it the perfect winner in this category. This sun-soaked metropolis is world-renowned for its eye-catching landmarks including Burj Khalifa, Burj AI Arab, Palm Jumeirah, and more. Among the fresh experiences, there is a crocodile park with placid waterfalls and perfectly placed sandbanks and The Dubai Balloon, a tethered helium balloon that takes guests to a height of up to 300 metres. The 10-minute trip into the sky comes with the best possible view of Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai. visitdubai.com

BEST COUNTRY

Switzerland

WHETHER IT'S a relaxing afternoon in a city park, a hike up the mountain, or a trip to a nearby wine region, nature is never far away in Switzerland. Though Switzerland boasts the most peaks in Europe, thanks to the majestic Swiss Alps, it's not just all mountain tops. The country is also home to some of the most beautiful lakes that offer a wide range of activities from swimming and boating to relaxing on the shore. The location in the middle of Europe, fine weather, great food and ease of travel makes Switzerland one of the most sought-after countries in Europe. myswitzerland.com
