Port Moresby — 9 nights
©
In contrast to the surrounding wilderness, national capital Port Moresby offers some impressive cultural attractions and a decent array of amenities.Spend the 4th (Sat) exploring nature at Varirata National Park. There's still lots to do: meet the residents at Port Moresby Nature Park, enjoy some diversion at Paradise Cinema, stroll the grounds of Bomana War Cemetery, and ponder the world of politics at National Parliament House.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates to Port Moresby is an approximately 21.5-hour flight. The time zone difference moving from Gulf Standard Time (GST) to Papua New Guinea Time (PGT) is 6 hours. Plan for a bit warmer temperatures traveling from Dubai in February, with highs in Port Moresby at 36°C and lows at 28°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 4th (Sat) early enough to travel back home.

Highlights from your trip
Papua New Guinea travel guide
Occupying the eastern half of New Guinea and its offshore islands, Papua New Guinea represents an immense cultural and biological diversity. Densely carpeted in lush rainforest, the largely mountainous interior includes several active volcanoes. Because of this rugged landscape, Papua New Guinea remains one of the planet's least explored areas, thought to harbor as-yet undiscovered species. Remote mountain ranges nurture unique plant and animal life found nowhere else in the world, while the wildly fluctuating topography creates large differences in climate that further diversify the ecosystems. The people of Papua New Guinea are equally varied and distinct, with hundreds of tribes and communities--the vast majority of which are rural--and approximately 850 different languages. Don't expect much of a tourism infrastructure in Papua New Guinea (or infrastructure of any kind), but do expect any challenges to be richly rewarded by a real adventure unlike any other, in an untamed wilderness, untouched by commercialization.
