Have you Booked your Christmas Holiday?

This month at Rickshaw Travels, we’re planning for the future. Many families talk about travelling over Christmas vacation, but are unsure if they should pursue it. We’re here to tell you that you absolutely should! And we’re giving you five great reasons why travelling over Christmas will make it the best Christmas ever for you and your family. Also, we know that many of our travellers enjoy visiting Dubai for the excitement and the shopping, but there is much more to Dubai than skyscrapers and shopping malls. Read on to find out about 5 lesser-known must-dos when visiting Dubai. Plus we have all the information you need on what’s happening in East African travel this month.

5 Reasons to Travel Over Christmas

Dreaming of the holidays brings to mind falling snow, Christmas trees with piles of gifts underneath, and large family dinners at home. Many of us can’t imagine stepping away from our usual traditions to celebrate the holidays somewhere else. What would Christmas be without running downstairs to open gifts in the morning, cooking a turkey for 6 hours or listening to your drunk uncle make politically incorrect pronouncements over Christmas dinner?

5 Must Dos in Dubai

Dubai is known for many things, not the least of which are the glitz and the shopping. We all know about the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower, and The Dubai Mall right next to it, with over 1200 stores, 150 restaurants, indoor theme park and more. But there are some lesser-known attractions in Dubai that can turn your fun shopping vacation into a cultural adventure you never expected. The next time you’re in Dubai, make sure you see a few of these attractions too.

Another Happy Customer

Dear Jennifer and Deepak,

This is just to say a big THANK YOU to both of you.

To Jennifer, from a million phone calls to quotations, from hotel booking to flight bookings and transfers up to the extent holding the flight for Zanzibar. Thank you!

Deepak, thank you for recommending The Retreat, it is really nice. Thank you, for all the million quotations and finally the booking.

Not forgetting, Richard our Safari driver. He is the best. He made sure we saw everything and took us round to see everything, including Leopards.

Thanks again!

Sincerely,
Sapna Dawda
