1 - Marsa Alam, Red Sea
The Red Sea is an excellent option for a beach holiday, with sunshine and high temperatures even during November.
Among the most interesting locations, Marsa Alam deserves special mention. Its bay is a natural habitat for tropical fish, turtles and even dolphins. It is a fantastic destination that offers a beach holiday between relaxing on the beach, activities and water sports, and historical sightseeing.
The greatest strength of the Red Sea destinations is undoubtedly the presence of the coral reef, one of the most beautiful and best preserved in the world, to be admired through diving and snorkelling sessions.
But that's not all, Marsa Alam also offers plenty of excursions in the surrounding area, such asexploring the desert on horseback or quad bike, or visiting the temple complex of Luxor, or the day tour to Cairo, home to the world's most famous Egyptian museum.

2 - Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The most important city in the Arab Emirates, excellently connected with hundreds of daily non-stop flights from airports all over Europe.
Dubai is a city with a hot and dry climate, sunny all year round. In summer, temperatures are far too high, with peaks of over 40 degrees. November, on the other hand, is the ideal time to visit.
Here you can find clean and safe beaches, such as Jumeirah Beach. The best holiday clubs and hotels in the city are concentrated in this area.
For shoppers, there is the Dubai Mall, with over 1,000 shops and boutiques to discover. Also, don't forget to admire the dreamy view from the top of the world's tallest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa, for which it is advisable to purchase tickets in advance for the viewing platforms on the 124th and 125th floors. Finally, especially if you love adventure, you cannot miss the experience of a 4x4 safari in the desert outside the city, to be booked online before your departure.

Vietnam and Cambodia often go hand in hand. A trip to these countries is a unique experience.
Hanoi, in Vietnam, is considered one of the cheapest capitals on the planet, with very low fares for flights and hotels, plus in November it offers a dry and sunny climate. Here you can lose yourself in the quaint alleyways of the colourful Old Quarter, sample the fabulous street food and be blown away by the buzzing nightlife (a guided By Night tour is recommended), visit typical temples, pagodas and special museums such as the Ho Chi Minh Museum. Don't miss the Ha Long Bay cruise and, if you stay a few more days, a stay on Phú Quốc Island.

4 - Cape Verde, Africa
Photos by Adrião. The Cape Verde archipelago is a mix of cultural influences from Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean and Portugal. Thanks in part to this interesting mix, it is now a popular tourist destination.
This group of islands is located in the Atlantic Ocean, off the west coast of Africa and includes fantastic locations such as Sal Island and Boa Vista, which are rather quiet and uncrowded islands compared to other more popular destinations.
In these beautiful lands you can enjoy sunbathing on the beach, surfing and windsurfing, try deep-sea fishing, but also go hiking in the hills between layers of frozen lava.

Among the best tropical destinations for a November holiday, the Republic of Mauritius definitely stands out. Overlooking the Indian Ocean and part of a volcanic archipelago, this destination is ideal for lovers of nature and unspoilt landscapes.
Among the main attractions, the most popular is the so-called Land of Seven Colours, a geological area in the south-west of the island, characterised by sand dunes of a thousand shades. Apart from these, we also recommend the Black River Gorge National Park (part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 1977). Within the park are spectacular canyons and reliefs, as well as the beautiful Chamarel Falls, no less than the highest waterfalls in Mauritius! Not to mention the beaches with their crystal-clear water: one more beautiful than the other... You will truly feel like you are in paradise.

In reality, in addition to beach tourism, Hawaii is also perfect for those who dream of an adventure holiday of forest trekking and hiking among volcanoes.
Moreover, these islands are characterised by a great variety of flora and fauna: not only birds of numerous species, but also sea turtles, monk seals and whales are among the animals that have chosen Hawaii as their natural habitat. In autumn and winter, in particular, there is the possibility of excellent whale watching, thanks to the many species of whales that migrate there during this season.
