Turkey

Turkey is the best place to visit in December, especially if you want to travel on a budget! As there are not a lot of tourists in Turkey during Winter, the prices drop and many tour companies and hotels offer cheaper prices. So the main question would be: Where to go in Turkey?!
Probably Istanbul and Antalya are the most heard cities of Turkey for tourists. Despite both of these cities being famous for their tourist attractions, they are very different from each other.
Istanbul is full of traditional sightseeing and famous streets which are very crowded in the summertime, therefore winter is a great time for your Istanbul getaway. Some of the famous places like Taksim square, grand Bazar, and Sultan Ahmed Mosque are essential places to visit in Istanbul.
Antalya on the other hand is a city of beaches and fancy hotels. As it is not really comfortable to swim there in the wintertime, it is suggested to book a very nice hotel. Ratepunk can help you find the best hotels in Antalya at a cheaper price. Antalya will be a great December vacation if your goal is to relax and enjoy indoor activities such as bowling and cinemas or go to different restaurants and enjoy delicious Turkish food. Nevertheless, many hotels provide heated swimming pools so you can enjoy a swim in wintertime.

Dubai, United Arab States

Even in winter, the temperature in Dubai is around 25 degrees which is as high as in summer for some European countries. The temperature is still perfect if you want to go for a swim, walk around the city or visit the desert for a safari tour. Dubai is the city of modern and luxury hotels, including the famous Burj Al Arab and Burj Khalifa.
