Discover Abu Dhabi

Break up a long haul flight with a free stopover in the UAE’s capital, turning one holiday into two. A day or two gives you plenty of time to marvel at the grandeur of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque or be mesmerised by the floating dome above the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Or, for the more adventurous, there’s the world’s fastest roller coaster at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, and the world’s ​​largest sheet wave at Yas Waterworld. 

Alternatively, make Abu Dhabi your destination of choice for a longer break and you can relax on the pristine beaches of Saadiyat Island and enjoy some water sports in the year-round sunshine. Or head off on a thrilling desert safari, play a round of golf at one of Abu Dhabi's world-class golf courses, and indulge in some duty-free shopping.

Soak up Sydney

The capital of New South Wales, Sydney combines iconic landmarks with stunning beaches and the option of some big outdoor adventures. Tick off a performance at Sydney Opera House, a climb to the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge, and a couple of beach days at Bondi and Manly, and there's still plenty to do.

Explore the hiking trails of the vast Royal National Park, just south of the city, for some classic Aussie wildlife shots including kangaroos and wallabies. Or take a trip to the Blue Mountains, a World Heritage Site with stunning scenery, including the iconic Three Sisters of Aboriginal folklore fame.

Savour Seoul

If there's anywhere that does ancient and modern well, it has to be Seoul. Super-efficient public transport will whisk you off to majestic sites dripping in history, like the splendid palaces of Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung, or the serene Buddhist temple of Jogye-sa.

For trendy shops and art galleries, the vibrant neighbourhoods of Hongdae and Gangnam are a must. Here, you'll also find busy street food markets which underline Seoul's other main attraction: food. From spicy kimchi to savoury barbecue, Korean cuisine is worth the trip.
