Election fatigue? Maybe it’s time for a quick trip

The 2016 presidential race to determine the United States next president was fraught with controversies and accusations surrounding the two main candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. With Tuesday night’s election results, Americans elected Republican Donald Trump to the presidency, defeating Democrat Hillary Clinton in a shocking upset.

The entire election has left many Americans weary and fatigued with this year’s presidential race. As such, perhaps a quick getaway is needed to recharge. Here are some places you might want to escape to over the next several weeks.

According to Lonely Planet, this long, pristine stretch of white sand off Jumeirah Rd is super clean and has lots of activities, including kite surfing, soap football, beach tennis, beach volleyball and kayaking. There are showers, toilets and changing facilities, plus great views of the Burj Al Arab. It gets very busy on Friday and Saturday.
