Sri Lanka has transformed dramatically in the years since the end of its civil war, emerging as one of the most beloved travel destinations in Asia . [1] Reaching the island is simple—fly into Bandaranaike International Airport in Katunayake (CMB), just north of Colombo .

Countless tea estates open their doors to visitors, offering guided tours, tastings, and the chance to wander through misty plantations where world‑famous Ceylon tea is grown and produced.

Most of the city and the Emirate reside on the mainland connected to the rest of the country. Anantara Qasr Al Sarab Among all beautiful desert resorts in the UAE, Anantara Qasr Al Sarab  probably is one of the UAE’s best-loved Arabian escapes.

A secluded desert oasis, there are 140 rooms, 14 suites and 52 pool villas on offer, all decorated with traditional arabesque touches with endless vistas out across the dunes. Separated from the main resort, the rooms are described as ‘secluded desert sanctuaries’, each with private pool.  Video 1.  Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara (YouTu...
