If you are tired of Egypt: what other warm countries to choose for a winter vacation

In winter, you want to escape from the cold and fly to distant warm countries where the sun is warming and transparent waves are splashing. But where to go if half the globe is covered with snow and frost? OBOZREVATEL has selected 5 countries with very pleasant weather in December-January.

Caribbean islands

Quiet and peaceful resorts in Jamaica, Barbados, and the Bahamas are ideal for family vacations. The temperature in winter rarely drops below 28 degrees, and the sea warms up to 26 degrees. Wind and rain are rare during this period, so the water is mostly always suitable for swimming. By the way, diving is very popular here, and there are specialized centers for training and practice almost everywhere.

The cost of tours to the Caribbean starts at $800. Organizing a trip yourself can be 15-20% cheaper, but you will have to spend a lot of time solving a number of issues.

UAE

In the Emirates, the weather is sunny and warm in winter. In the resort regions, the temperature at this time can reach 24-26 degrees. Moreover, most beaches are filled with tourists who come here to celebrate the New Year.

During this period, not only beach vacations are very popular but also walks in historical areas and excursions in the desert on ATVs.

December-January is considered the low season in the UAE, so hotel and flight prices drop significantly. You can grab a hot ticket for two to Dubai for $650, and to Abu Dhabi for striking $500.

Thailand

Winter vacation in Thailand is a pleasure. People come here for beach vacations, diving, surfing, and hiking.

In December-January, the air temperature remains high - up to 29 degrees. The sea, respectively, is warm and calm. There are few rainy days.

A tour for two costs an average of $1,300. You can organize a vacation on your own for $750-800.

Tanzania

The warm resort islands of Tanzania receive a record number of tourists during the New Year holidays. Although it is quite hot at this time - the temperature does not drop below 30 degrees - it often rains. However, this does not stop foreigners from spending their vacations in the most beautiful parts of the world.

In winter, excursions to historical and religious sites, as well as various types of extreme and active recreation, are gaining popularity. Tours to Tanzania are quite expensive: from $670 to $3,000. You can organize a vacation on your own for $600.

Philippines

The Chinese, the Japanese, and Americans most often choose the Philippines for winter vacations. For some reason, this destination is not very popular among Europeans, but in vain. Even in the "cold" seasons, the air temperature here is 26-28 degrees, and the water is warm and calm almost all year round. It storms only in summer. In December-January, on the contrary, there are windless comfortable days.
