United Arab Emirates with toddler

Phew, the weather is always lousy in November. Why not fly into the sun when it gets wet and cold in Germany? It's always sunny and warm in the UAE, so this destination became our first long-haul destination with our young son. But is a Muslim country the right choice and how does the child tolerate the heat? Different culture, different food, different people ... you can find out how relaxing and child-loving the United Arab Emirates are in the following article.

Singapore Airlines Training Center - A look behind the scenes

An aircraft must be evacuated within 90 seconds. In order to react correctly and quickly in an emergency, the airlines regularly train their staff. But not only the evacuation via the emergency slide of an Airbus A380 is part of the training plan, the make-up and the service also want to be perfected. I was able to take a look behind the scenes at the Singapore Airlines Training Center.

Langkawi: Mount Raya

Eigentlich nur aufgrund eines Geocaches vom Typ "Earthcache" fuhren wir auf den 890 m hohen Gunung Raya. Der Gunung Raya ist der höchste Berg auf der malaysischen Insel Langkawi. Schon der 20 Minuten lange Serpentinen-Weg hinauf bot allerlei Attraktionen am Straßenrand: Kühe, Affen, Leguane und dazu der tiefgrüne Dschungel links und rechts. Wirklich toll!

Panorama of Langkawi: Cable Car und Sky Bridge

Panorama Langkawi or Langkawi Sky Cab has been the tourist highlight of the island since it opened in 2002. A more than 2 km long cable car takes you up to the dizzy heights of Gunung Machinchang. The view from Machinchang Mountain is unique. When the weather is clear, you can see untouched nature for a few kilometers.

With the rental car on the way to Langkawi

Since we wanted to explore the island on our own, we absolutely needed a rental car in Langkawi. From our hotel, The Danna Langkawi, we were driven to the airport. In the arrivals hall, I immediately went in search of the big companies in the industry. But I could have saved myself the time - Avis, Budget, Hertz and Co. are not represented here.
