Escape Edition 60

Explore and See More

There are so many under-the-radar places around the world that are just waiting to be explored. In this week's Escape Edition, we're showcasing just a few of our lesser-known favourites. From canyons in the Middle East, to the scenic beauty of New York’s Hudson Valley, to Sri Lanka's leafy tea plantations, we have something for everyone.

As this is the last Escape Edition of 2022, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We'll be back with more travel inspiration very soon.

EXPLORE NEW YORK'S HUDSON VALLEY

OMAN BEACHES, MOUNTAINS & DESERT

BANGKOK & BEYOND WITH ETIHAD

EXPLORE NEW YORK'S HUDSON VALLEY

The scenic beauty of the Hudson Valley is unmatched, and there are countless ways you can explore. Kayak along the Hudson River, hike the Appalachian Trail, or enjoy a gentle stroll through the “cup” gardens at Innisfree Garden, one of the best gardens in the world. And the Walkway Over the Hudson is a must-see. The world’s longest elevated pedestrian bridge has amazing views from 65 metres up.

Farm-to-table dining is a way of life in Dutchess County, as it’s one of the richest agricultural regions of the Northeast. Discover the region’s award-winning wines, beers, ciders and spirits on the Dutchess Craft Beverage Trail. At the helm of the food scene, there’s The Culinary Institute of America. It's the world’s premier culinary college, training chefs to craft the best in fine dining in its three student-staffed restaurants.

The Hudson River Valley is also a designated National Heritage Area. You can see everything from the Dutch Colonial home of Mount Gulian, to the Gilded Age mansions of Vanderbilt National Historic Site. So, whether you’re seeking outdoor adventures, dining delights or cultural sights, a trip to the Hudson Valley will be one to remember.

OMAN BEACHES, MOUNTAINS & DESERT

This brand-new Arabian adventure lets you see the real Omani culture and ancient architecture. On this tour, you’ll have six days to explore Oman's beaches, mountains, and desert dunes. And you can look forward to lots of tasty food, with Michelin-starred chefs serving up a treat. Muscat will draw you into its rich heritage, with the epic Grand Mosque and must-see museums like Bait Al Zubair.

Then, you'll take a scenic route up into Jabal Shams Mountains, to one of the highest and most luxurious resorts in the world, Anantara Al Jabal al Akhdar Resort. Here you'll have time to dine by the Canyon's edge, and snap photos from Diana's Viewpoint. Hike through the mountains in search of beautiful hidden waterfalls and lush wadis. And, after an action-packed day, you can head to the spa for a relaxing hammam ritual. Next, it’s time to chill out on Al Waha Beach. This pristine coastline has stunning views of the mountains – the perfect end to this incredible Oman tour.
