Egypt
This is place known for its' historical importance and so those who are interested in learning the history of Egypt and adjoining area then Egypt is must visit place. Overall the country is underdeveloped. I was in Egypt for three weeks and visited places like Alexandria Samra Bay Marina resorts and the coastal line of Egypt is wonderful and a must watch. Egypt is not a shopping paradise as I feel Indian Malls have the same things. This country is known for its culture and rich heritage buildings. People say Nile River is very big and I didn't find it that large as it was the same as river Ganga. I went for a Nile cruise which was really good but I was impressed with the beauty of Red Sea, especially during the night. How can I forget the Sharm el-Sheikh, which is the favourite spot for scuba divers from around the world. I really enjoyed being in underwater and it is the best place for beach lovers. The night life in Egypt is good too.

Malaysia
I visited Malaysia during my break and it is a party place I must say. I was in Malaysia for 10 days and had gone to meet my cousins. We went to Langkawi where beaches are simply the best. From the sandy bays to the sweeping coastlines, it was amazing to be the part of such beauty. If you want to party hard then the beaches of Malaysia are perfect. It is a good shopping destination but I didn't shop much as I am not a shopaholic.

Dubai
I really enjoyed Dubai which I visited for five days. This place is a shopper's paradise and I shopped for chappals, beach wears, and clothes. The night life is good and I was amazed that people in Dubai called me Baby, my character in Baa Bahu Aur Baby, which felt good. I went for Dessert Safari which was a fantastic experience and also visited many amusement parks.

Thailand
It's known for its beautiful beaches especially in Phuket. Beaches are so clean that it is a different feeling. I really enjoyed my stay in Thailand. I really liked the multi-cuisine culture of this place. It is must visit place for the people who love travelling. I feel Bangkok is most reasonable where shopping is concerned but I didn't shop much.

It is a crazy place and is influence by the Spanish culture. Being a beach lover, I really loved this place. I did scuba diving which was great and went to this hill station were we saw live Volcano. It was mind blowing. Manila Bay has a stunning sunset.
