North America · Destination guide
Big nature, easy cities, endless summer daylight.
Canada is the great school-holiday country: long summer days, drive-anywhere infrastructure, moose-and-bear wildlife and lakes coloured like toothpaste adverts. A UAE summer swap for Banff’s 22-degree afternoons is an easy sell — and the cities (Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal) are among the world’s most livable to visit.
The classic first trip pairs the Rockies self-drive with Vancouver; the eastern alternative links Toronto, Niagara and French-flavoured Montreal and Quebec City. Winter flips the script: powder at Whistler and frozen-lake romance in Banff.
Where to go
Lake Louise, Moraine and the Icefields Parkway — earth’s best road trip.
Mountains meeting ocean, with North America’s premier ski resort up the road.
Skyline mornings, thundering falls by afternoon.
