Gulf Air is offering a very special fare to tourists from Dubai who wish to visit Istanbul. If you leave on December 22 and return on December 30, all you need to pay is Dh 1,350 for a roundtrip to Istanbul. This offer is also valid for flights leaving on December 30 and returning on January 6 2012. All taxes are included.
Temperatures in Istanbul are likely to remain between 3C and 10C during December 20 – January 6.
This is a great time to visit the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar. A boat ride on the Bosphorus may be a little chilly and may be skipped but you will certainly enjoy the fresh, warm kebabs at the SultanAhmet Koftacesi near the Blue Mosque.
