    I want to bring my partner on a holiday somewhere that's is not Spain, Portugal the usually spots. I was thinking somewhere more exotic and all inclusive but with a reasonable price of €2,000.

    Any ideas, would book now for next feb or march.

    Feb, March is a great time to go to Goa.

    Was there for 10 days this year - loved it; beautiful beaches, plenty of things to see besides. Why all-inclusive? missing out on eating in different places.
    The words exotic and all-inclusive don't really go together.
    Flights to Goa through uk should cost about 600 euro each. 800 is plenty there for 2 weeks.

    Feb or march is perfect for Egypt. Falcon Holidays have some good AI hotels.

    Cheers but where is Goa. I thought all inclusive because your drink and meals paid for. Thought it was ok to do that.

    Goa is in India. It's a state in India. Nothing like the rest of India though. It's lovely. Definitely exotic.

    Beautiful place to visit from Nov to March.

    Was an the UAE embassy website. Says it's not legal for an unmarried couple to share a hotel room and that any public affection such as kissing is disrespectful and can lead to a police warming or arrest. Christ.
    I've a mate over there would be nice to see him and his gf. Is it expensive.

    What about somewhere like Cuba or the Caribbean? Or Zanzibar?

    Cuba would be amazing. People have put me off going saying I'd be crazy to go there because of it politics or tension ???

    I've never been but I wouldn't be letting either of those worry me. I don't think there is too much too worry about especially with regards to tension. Somewhere like Egypt has had much more political tension in recent years (although the resorts on the red sea haven't really been hit in comparison to Cairo)

    When we went we just let on that we were on honeymoon ( but it made no real difference ) we actually got a free room upgrade !! The public affection thing I didn't test out we just kept it to the bedroom !!!!!:D
    The most expensive thing was the flights , i think we paid a little over 1300 euro return , but over there is cheap. taxi are very very cheap and depending on what you are doing activities etc you can go all out or cheap as ..
    We done a lot in the ten days we were there , from skiing to swimming with dolphin to tours across the desert gold district afternoon tea in the burj al arab !!! the list is endless but you can budget everything if you wish

    A kiss on the cheek can get you a month in jail.
    Being raped (or having sex outside marriage as they prefer to call it) can get you 8 months plus.
    I wouldn't recommend Dubai to anyone after looking at that documentary I linked.

    completly disagree .. I have been to Dubai and recommended it to friends who also went and had an amazing time , no public displays and you will be fine.

    Christ !!!!! It's a holiday I want. Don't want to be watching my back if I even want to throw my arm around her.

    I'm mad to go to Dubai to visit my mate. The no public affection is off putting but we are no going to be eating the faces or other body parts off each other in public. I'm thinking September of this year. I'll check the prices of flights etc.


    Bloody predictive text on phone.
