Prague, Czech Repubic
For my last Ramadan getaway I headed to Prague. Another great city that has cheap beer, bratwurst, and historic sites galore; more of my people. The weather was great all four days that I was there- in the 70's and no humidity. Also, I got lucky and the flight was overbooked on the way there so I got a complimentary upgrade which was stellar because it was a 6.5 hr flight.
When I first got there, I was put on edge a bit by the graffiti- it was everywhere, and that the streets were really complex but after a few hours it was all better. My first full day there I took a 6hr group walking tour which was the best. I got to see a little of each of the 4 areas of the city, included a boat tour, "real" Czech lunch, and a bus ride up to the Prague Castle. For lunch I tried the local Goulash. It was ... not what I assumed it would be- and potato dumpling which are basically just a loaf of bread sliced into pieces.
It was a great four days overall. Loved the city, all the different quarters, and the prices were sooo cheap compared to Dubai- it was like the vacation paid for itself!
