15D12N Turkiye/Abu Dhabi - Day 12

05/01/2024

It was time to bid Turkiye goodbye, the trip was amazing, enjoyed and love all the places we had been to.  Free & easy highly recommended as metro and ferry were easy in Istanbul.  All the tours in Singapore wasted a lot of time (4 to 10 hours daily) travelling on coach.  We spend about S$3000, all in (including flights, accommodation, food, local tours and hot air balloon, excluding one leg business class flight).

Flying back to Abu Dhabi.
