Destinations of the Day
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
  • Resident population: 1,422,000 Annual visitors: 6,120,000 (est.)
  • Major features: shopping, historic sites, beaches, nightlife, golf courses
  • 16,026 TripAdvisor reviews of 489 accommodations, 71 attractions and 374 restaurants
With its ultramodern skyline, it's easy to forget that Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates, was once a small town of Bedouin traders.
Atlantic City, New Jersey
  • Resident population: 39,408 (est.)
  • Major features: The Boardwalk, casinos, beaches
  • 6,996 TripAdvisor reviews of 72 accommodations, 39 attractions and 281 restaurants
It's the East Coast's answer to Las Vegas. Atlantic City's casinos draw tourists by the car- and bus-load, but even if your main objective is to play some blackjack, you'll want to save time for sightseeing.
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
  • Resident population: 30,596 Annual visitors: 14,600,000 (est.)
  • Major features: golf courses, beaches, amusement parks, nightlife, casino cruises, fishing, shopping
  • 23,311 TripAdvisor reviews of 892 accommodations, 88 attractions and 338 restaurants
One may think the sun, 60 miles of wide sandy beaches and more than a hundred golf courses would be enough to lure vacationers to Myrtle Beach, but this popular coastal city offers even more to enjoy.
Honolulu, Hawaii
  • Resident population: 374,676 Annual visitors: 1,733,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, surfing, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head
  • 31,777 TripAdvisor reviews of 414 accommodations, 206 attractions and 1,128 restaurants
If you visit Honolulu simply for the wide Pacific beaches, the striking views of Ko'olau's pali (cliffs) and the laid-back "aloha" feeling, you'll be missing out on much this city has to offer.
Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt
  • Resident population: 35,000 Annual visitors: 4,400,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, diving, snorkeling, desert treks
  • 32,156 TripAdvisor reviews of 222 accommodations, 37 attractions and 44 restaurants
This Red Sea resort town on the tip of the Sinai peninsula offers world-class diving with spectacular reefs, magnificent drop-offs and shipwrecks waiting to be explored.
