Rundreise "Fabelhaftes Sri Lanka" (ab Colombo/bis Beruwela)

About the destination: Dubai is the most populous city and emirate in the United Arab Emirates. Dubai is a hive of activity and a cosmopolitan and modern city. The city of Dubai is split by a creek, with Deira on one side and Bur Dubai, the historical district, on the other. The luxury beach hotels are situated on the outskirts of the busy city center, in the area of Jumeirah. Dubai already exhibits some stunning architecture and it has the only 7-star hotel in the world, the highest building in the world, amazing beaches and luxury shopping centers. The Bastakiya Quarter, in the core of Dubai’s Old Town, is still traditional and evocative of Dubai’s past. Here you’ll find traditional Emirati houses, bustling souks, museums, galleries, and the only remaining piece of the old Dubai city wall. Another major attraction in Dubai is the Jumeirah Mosque, that although outside the Old Town, it is a wonderful example of traditional Islamic architecture. Dubai is forward-looking city in constant development yet it has managed to retain its traditions and culture. So it's fair to say that Dubai is one of the most exciting places in the world.

About the destination: The two neighboring resorts Beruwela and Bentota on the southwest coast form the center of tourism on Sri Lanka and are separated from each other by Bentota River. This is a kind of lagoon in the vicinity of the coast, where you can find the best conditions for windsurfing and sailing. In this region the most beautiful beaches of the island begin. The coast is a protective coral reef, so that the bathing is also possible with stronger sea. The local life can be seen on the fish market in the small town of Aluthgama, which is located between the two places. The railway line to the south runs close to the coast line, in some hotels can be heard in time train tracks. The best travel time for the west coast is from November to April. Arrival by land transfer from Colombo (Bandaranaike airport).
