    Canaries can be a bit iffy Morrocco can be ok your best bet would be Egypt.
    Try flight only and then add hotel you can avoid the under occupancy that way

    I have heard good things about Dubai and parts of the Far East are lovely all year round, can recomment Malaysia in particular Penang...you might have to fly to LHR or drive to Manchester to get a flight though. You should be able to grab a last minute bargain.

    Hi, Totally agree with nearlyrich regarding Dubai. Only thing is at the moment Dubai Shopping Festival starts Jan 4 for approx 1 month, so it may be quite busy. However, if its the sun you're looking for , mid 70's day time (relatively cooler at night) is what the temperature is right now. Plenty of hotels to choose from either beachfront or City. Just over 7 hours from Heathrow (a little longer from Manchester). I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Regards- Sallysaver
