    Paris
    UAE residents will most likely enjoy a five-day weekend in less than two weeks. Mickey Bhatia, Founder and CEO of Elevate Trips, said that the current trend is that people are booking heavily to travel abroad from April 30 to May 3. Eid Al Fitr will most probably fall on May 2, according to the Emirates Astronomical Society (EAS). Given this short break and relaxed rules around the world, now is the perfect time to book a trip abroad. Micky added that there are 6 flights per day by airlines such as Air Arabia and fly dubai on trending sectors like Georgia, Baku and Armenia. He advised that residents should book tickets soon before these sectors get sold out. Image Credit: Insta/parisjetaime

    Turkey
    Just remember to check for the PCR requirements for each destination before you start planning. First up, Turkey: It is the perfect amalgamation of East and West and the country has opened up to travellers. Enjoy Istanbul – the world's only megacity straddling two continents, or head to one of the other cities for unique experiences like a hot-air balloon ride in Cappadocia, or choose a trip to the snowy white calcium deposits in Pamukkale.
