Staycation season is here…

The Northern Emirates are severely underrated in terms of their stunning stays  – not only perched by picturesque coastal locations with sweeping views, but also marked with quiet serenity being in less populated parts of the country. These are the real escapes, not too far away abut removed enough to be laid back, peaceful and rejuvenating. This summer, if you’re looking to stay-cay somewhere, try out these staycation deals.
