Step back in time in Intramuros
Built during the 16th and 17th centuries, Intramuros is a historical walled area in Manila. Its cobbled streets and shuttered stone buildings were once the heart of the Spanish colonial city.
You’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back in time, especially when you see horse-drawn carriages trotting along the cobbled streets – a world away from the ultra-modern skyscrapers of Dubai.
Explore the night markets
The night markets of Manila are the ultimate draw for visitors after dark. The variety of food and shopping on offer rivals Dubai’s famous Ripe Market.
You can pick up a souvenir of your dream journey, make the most of great prices on tailored suits and dresses, or just enjoy soaking up the atmosphere while you tuck into a tasty Filipino meal.
