For me I think Petra is the most incredible thing I’ve seen, have been to 60 countries now and seen 5 of the wonders of the world (Great Wall & Taj Mahal to go). Landscape wise probably still Switzerland and or Kyrgyzstan. Wanting to add new places to my bucket list.
Not necessarily the biggest, most beautiful, or most exciting city. I’m thinking about the places with a great combination of architecture, walkability, history, neighborhoods, restaurants, scenery, and just an overall sense of character.
What city would you put at the top of the list?
I’ve been thinking about this while travelling, not necessarily a country you didn’t like or had a bad experience in, just somewhere you visited and thought “that was cool, but I probably won’t come back here”.
Somewhere far from city lights that made you stop and look up.
Somewhere that felt easy, safe, and welcoming to explore alone. What made it work?
I’m planning a 5–6 day trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi in October, but I’m getting increasingly worried because of the current Iran-US conflict and recent news about missiles and airspace in the region.
For people living in the UAE or people who travel there frequently:
How safe/normal does Dubai currently feel?
How much does the Iran situation actually affect everyday life in Dubai?
Would you personally book a Dubai trip for October right now?
Would you book refundable flights and hotels and wait until September to make the final decision?
At what point would you consider cancelling?
I’m not looking for reassurance — I’d genuinely like an honest assessment from people familiar with the situation.
A place you go to slow down when everything else is chaos. Which one, and why?
