Family travel in winter

A capital with preserved white architecture, then a night under canvas in the Wahiba dunes

Gorée Island, a living memory of history, then the pink waters of Lake Retba

Sand dunes rising from a turquoise lagoon, off one of the least crowded coastlines of the Indian Ocean

Clouds of scarlet ibis at Caroni and Tobago's untouched reefs

Dubai's vertigo, the desert's silence just behind it

Pastel colonial façades and a cactus desert away from the white sand

Giant artificial trees that light up at nightfall, in a futuristic garden city

The canal linking two oceans, then a self-governed archipelago spared by mass tourism
