If you are looking to take a vacation but aren't sure where, Jamee Lubkemann, vice-president of American Express Travel, has some advice to offer

1 Tel Aviv, Israel
A trip to Tel Aviv could include everything from beach lounging and museum hopping to falafel and hummus sampling. Tel Aviv is modern, vibrant, and cosmopolitan.

2 Beirut, Lebanon
Beirut was once known as the Paris of the Middle East, in a nod to its French-inspired architecture and vibrant dining scene. As one of the oldest settlements in the world, it's an especially popular destination with history buffs. “Cognisant of today's geopolitical climate, travellers are openly exploring destinations in the Middle East -tourism is booming, and airlines are creating more routes,“ Lubkemann says.

3 Nairobi, Kenya
Often referred to as the Silicon Savannah, Nairobi is known as an innovation tech hub for Kenya. But beyond that, it has evolved to become a gateway to immersive coastal safaris and travellers are increasingly flocking to the destination for its thriving multi-ethnic food scene. If you venture just outside the city, you could find yourself in the Great Rift Valley, with its rich history and fascinating geology.

4 Mazatlán, Mexico

Many of its 19th-century buildings have been restored and repurposed to serve its growing culinary and arts scenes.Mazatlán is considered one of Mexico's best nightlife destinations as well.

5 Belize
Belize's reefs are famous for the excellent snorkelling and diving opportunities they offer.The Central American nation is also well worth a visit for its ancient Mayan ruins and unique food, with dishes like conch fritters, ceviche, and fry jacks, which are pieces of deep-fried dough that are typically served for breakfast.
