Pick a destination

The Dubai Events and Promotions Establishment (DEPE) has unveiled the main highlights of the 13th edition of Dubai Summer Surprises that begins on June 17th and runs for 52 days till August 7th. With a budget of AED 60 million, this year’s DSS includes international shows, musicals, events, shopping promotions across Dubai, and prizes to be won throughout malls. Modhesh World, the region’s biggest indoor edutainment venue, is also a major attraction of DSS.

Laila Suhail, Chief Executive Officer of DEPE said, “We have endeavoured to present a spectacular combination of attractions that create a comprehensive holiday package for all visitors and residents in Dubai during DSS. These efforts are in line with our marketing slogan for this year, ‘Dubai, your summer destination of surprises.’”

Suhail also said that the AED-60-million-budget has not only ensured the quality of events but has also supported DEPE in reaching out to audiences through diverse marketing campaigns. “As the leading and the longest summer event in the region, it is imperative that we elevate our efforts in order to maintain our leading position. Catering to multi-national audiences is always challenging but we have succeeded in the previous years and we look forward to continuing our successful streak,” she added.

Lagos is the largest and the most populous city of Nigeria. It is a huge metropolitan, a business hub as well as a port. People from not only Nigeria, but all over the world, have been moving to Lagos in search of good jobs and better living. Therefore, it has become the second most populous city in Africa after Cairo. Lagos had always been the most developed and strategically important city of Nigeria; hence, it remained the country’s capital from 1914 till 1991. In 1991, the capital was shifted to the purpose built city of Abuja. Furthermore, it is the fastest growing city in Africa and seventh fastest growing city in the world.

Lagos has been a major tourist destination for over the years. It receives millions of tourists annually. Its modern cosmopolitan nature adding to the naturally gifted scenic locations make Lagos an ultimate attraction for travelers from around the world. Unfortunately, it has not been as simple and affordable to travel to Lagos as it is to other African cities. The reason being, that Lagos does not have many direct connections to other international airports. Lesser number of flights to Lagos means more taxes, and more taxes mean high airfares.

In spite of the limited affordability possibilities, searches for flights to Lagos never reduced. Impressed by the city’s unusual importance as a tourist destination, many airlines are now providing discounted tickets to Lagos. Arik Air, British Airways and Virgin Nigeria are providing cheap flights to Lagos; however, they remain unaffordable for many travelers. Saving money over tickets to Lagos should be important, as one of the fastest growing cities of the world is also one of the most expensive ones.

One of the best ways to save money is travel through indirect flights rather than direct ones. Lagos has so much to offer to its visitors that they certainly want to explore the city to the fullest. In order to increase the possibility of more enjoyment, money needs to be saved over airfares so that it can be later spent in the city. KLM, Air France, Iberia, Alitalia, Ethiopian Airlines and Virgin Atlantic are providing indirect flights to Lagos making the travel less expensive. The breathtaking sites of Lagos are, without a doubt, worth the cost of some hours.

Another way to find out low-ticket costs is to consult the travel agents. Traveling agencies provide their customers with a variety of packages offering tours in least possible prices. These packages cover the tours entirely from flying to accommodation to traveling around. Although cheaper, the packages do not compromise on quality of the flight, accommodation, food or any other thing. Different agencies and packages can be surveyed before finalizing the one best suiting the budget.

The time of flying also matters a lot as far as saving money is concerned. Early morning flights and mid-night flights are discounted, simply to attract more travelers. Flights on Wednesdays and Saturdays are also provided on discounted rates due to easy availability of spare seats. Try not to miss this chance if grabbed, as a spare seat on a Lagos flight is something miraculous.

There are numerous campsites in France because Europeans generally love to camp. Camping is a very popular activity among European tourists.

Most camp grounds are located far from the city, in the outskirts because of the natural setting. There are a number of camping grounds spread all over Paris that you can choose from.

However, if being far from the city is not your thing, there are also campgrounds located within city limits. In Paris for instance, there is a popular campground near the bus lines that make the city easily accessible.

In order to make your camping experience a seamless experience, here are some tips that you should consider:

A. Make Reservations. Making advanced reservations is necessary especially in peak seasons between July and August. There are a number of campgrounds that have websites online. You can check out these websites to compare the facilities as well the prices so you can book ahead.

Also some campgrounds are only open during the warmer seasons and closed on winter. It might come as a huge surprise if your favorite campground is closed when you arrive. Better check out this information ahead of time so there will be no nasty surprises.

However, a word of caution, reservations will usually cost an extra 15-20 Euros so better check the place out first before making a commitment. If you rent the same day that you call if there are available sites, then you do not need to make reservations.

B. Carry a camping guide. If you have not made reservations, then it will be easy for you to locate campgrounds. This will help you find your way to the campsites. If you visit tourist offices in France, brochures of camping within the city or region are also provided. You can ask for a copy of this brochure for free.

Since camping in France is a much more acceptable way for tourists to find accommodation, it is more likely you will meet a number of tourists from other places particularly European tourists. A good way to meet new people and make new friends.
