Dubai Tour Packages – Page 4

Dubai tour package price guide (2026)

Dubai packages on this page start at ₹17,500 per person. Dubai pricing is driven by hotel location (Deira and Bur Dubai are half the price of Downtown or the Palm), the season (October to March costs more than summer), and which experiences are included rather than sold on the spot. The bands below are per person on twin sharing, excluding international flights and visa, with private or shared transfers, breakfast, a city tour, a desert safari with dinner and a dhow cruise with dinner included.

Full cost breakdown – 4N/5D Dubai for one person from Ahmedabad

Usually extra on the ground: Burj Khalifa top-floor (148th) upgrade, Dubai Frame, Museum of the Future, Aquaventure or IMG Worlds tickets unless named, hot-air balloon, quad biking at the safari camp, the "tourism dirham" fee hotels collect per room per night (roughly AED 10–20 depending on hotel category), tips and shopping. Our quote lists every one of these so the number you see is the number you pay.

How to reach Dubai from Ahmedabad

• Non-stop Ahmedabad–Dubai: several airlines fly SVPI Airport to Dubai (DXB) every day, with Indian and Gulf carriers both on the route; flying time is about 3 hours. Dubai is 1 h 30 min behind India, so a morning departure lands before lunch and an evening departure lands in time for dinner. We book flights with the package and our Dubai representative meets you after immigration.
• Sharjah and Abu Dhabi alternatives: Ahmedabad also has flights to Sharjah (SHJ, 30–40 minutes from Dubai by road) and one-stop options to Abu Dhabi (AUH); on peak dates these can be ₹3,000 – 6,000 cheaper per person and we quote them when it helps.
• Return fares: ₹14,000 – 22,000 per person in most months, rising to ₹25,000 – 35,000 in Diwali week, Christmas–New Year and the Gujarat May vacation. Booking 6–8 weeks ahead usually captures the lower band.
• Dubai to Abu Dhabi: about 1 h 30 min by road; we do it as a full-day private tour and return the same evening, or add a night in Abu Dhabi for the Louvre, Yas Island and the BAPS Mandir at an easier pace.
• Dubai to Ras Al Khaimah: about 1 h 15 min by road – a quiet beach-and-mountain extension for honeymooners and seniors.
• Getting around Dubai: packages include private or shared air-conditioned transfers and tours. The Dubai Metro is clean, cheap and air-conditioned, linking Deira, Bur Dubai, Downtown (Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station) and the Marina – useful for a free afternoon; taxis are metered and safe.

Senior citizens and corporate groups

For parents above 60 we book hotels in Bur Dubai or Deira (lifts, Gujarati food within walking distance), choose a desert safari with mild dune driving or a direct camp transfer without dune bashing, time the Burj Khalifa for late afternoon, and keep Abu Dhabi as an optional day. For corporate groups and incentive trips we arrange a conference room or gala dinner at the hotel, a private safari camp evening, a yacht cruise and team activities, with vegetarian catering specified in the contract. Every itinerary is a private, customised one on your own dates.

Dubai vs Abu Dhabi vs Ras Al Khaimah, the UAE visa and season planning

Which emirates to include

UAE visa for Indians – how it works with us

• Who needs it: most Indian passport holders need a UAE tourist visa before travel. Indians holding a valid US visa, US green card, or a UK or EU residence permit may be eligible for a visa on arrival – we check your eligibility and advise.
• Types: 30-day single-entry is the normal tourist visa; a 60-day visa is available for longer stays. Processing is typically 3–5 working days, and expedited processing is possible for an extra fee.
• Documents: colour scan of the passport (valid six months), a passport-size photo on white background, confirmed return ticket and hotel booking (both come from your package) and, in some cases, a PAN card copy or bank statement.
• Process: we prepare and submit the application; approval is at the discretion of the UAE immigration authorities. The e-visa arrives by email and you carry a printout. Most airlines no longer need an "OK to Board" update for UAE visas (Air India dropped it in December 2024); we check your airline's current rule before departure.
• Cost: billed at cost, typically ₹6,500 – 8,500 for a 30-day visa including processing; the fee is non-refundable even if travel is cancelled, so we apply once flights and hotels are confirmed.

Dubai Shopping Festival and Global Village season

Two events shape the Gujarati family calendar. The Dubai Shopping Festival runs from mid-December to late January, with mall discounts, raffles, fireworks and concerts – the single most popular period for Ahmedabad families with Christmas and New Year holidays. Global Village, the open-air park with 90-plus country pavilions, street food and shows, opens around mid-October and closes around late April or early May; it is a highlight for children and seniors alike and is included as an evening in most of our winter itineraries. The Miracle Garden keeps roughly the same season. In summer (June–September) all three are closed, so summer itineraries lean on indoor attractions – malls, the Aquarium, IMG Worlds, Ski Dubai and the Museum of the Future.

Best time to visit Dubai – month by month

Ramadan moves about eleven days earlier each year and in the late 2020s falls in the February–March period. Dubai remains fully open for tourists and restaurants serve food through the day, but entertainment is quieter and the safari camp may skip live shows; we tell you if your dates overlap. For Ahmedabad families the Diwali week and the Christmas-to-New-Year week are the two busiest periods, and the Gujarat May vacation is a workable, lower-cost option if you accept the heat.

Places to visit in Dubai and the UAE

• Burj Khalifa: the 828-metre tower; the 124th–125th floor deck at sunset is the standard ticket, the 148th floor lounge is the upgrade.
• Dubai Mall and the Dubai Fountain: 1,200 shops, the Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, an ice rink and the fountain show every 30 minutes from 6 pm.
• Desert safari: dune bashing, camel ride, sandboarding, henna, tanoura and fire shows and a barbecue dinner with vegetarian counters – the evening every family remembers.
• Dubai Marina and JBR: the dhow or yacht cruise, The Beach promenade, Ain Dubai at Bluewaters.
• Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis: Aquaventure water park, the Lost Chambers aquarium and The View observation deck.
• Old Dubai: Al Fahidi heritage quarter, the abra crossing on Dubai Creek, Gold Souk and Spice Souk, Meena Bazaar for saris and jewellery.
• Dubai Frame and Museum of the Future: the 150-metre picture frame between old and new Dubai, and the city's most striking new museum.
• Global Village and Miracle Garden: seasonal (roughly October–April) and both excellent for children and grandparents.
• Theme parks: IMG Worlds of Adventure (indoor), Motiongate and Legoland at Dubai Parks, Ski Dubai at Mall of the Emirates.
• Abu Dhabi: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the BAPS Hindu Mandir (the first traditional stone Hindu temple in the Middle East, opened in 2024), Louvre Abu Dhabi, Ferrari World and Warner Bros World on Yas Island.
• Ras Al Khaimah: Jebel Jais, the UAE's highest peak, with the Jais Flight zipline and quiet beach resorts.
• Sharjah: the Blue Souk, Al Noor Mosque and the Museum of Islamic Civilisation, 30 minutes from Deira.

Food, hotels and tips for Gujarati travellers

• Gujarati, Jain and pure-veg food: Dubai is the easiest international city for Gujarati food. Bur Dubai (Meena Bazaar, Al Fahidi area) and Karama have dozens of pure-vegetarian restaurants serving unlimited Gujarati thali, Kathiyawadi dishes, Jain thali, South Indian and Punjabi food, with prices of roughly ₹500 – 900 per thali. Deira has Indian restaurants on almost every street. Downtown and the Marina have fewer, so we plan dinners back in Bur Dubai or at an Indian restaurant in the Dubai Mall. Desert safari camps serve a barbecue buffet with separate vegetarian counters; a Jain meal can be requested in advance for most camps. Abu Dhabi has Indian restaurants near the BAPS Mandir and in the city centre.
• Hotel areas: Deira and Bur Dubai for value, Gujarati food and the Metro; Downtown for Burj Khalifa views; the Marina and JBR for beach and honeymoon stays; the Palm for luxury resorts. 3★ hotels in Deira are clean, air-conditioned and perfectly adequate; 4★ in Bur Dubai with a rooftop pool is the family sweet spot.
• Money: the dirham (AED) is fixed to the US dollar and is roughly ₹26 as of November 2026. Cards work everywhere; a forex card plus AED 300–500 per family in cash for souks, taxis and tips is enough. Shopping at Dubai Mall is not cheaper than India for electronics or gold once duty is counted; souks and Meena Bazaar are where bargains are.
• Dress and conduct: Dubai is relaxed for tourists – modest dress in malls, souks and mosques (shoulders and knees covered; abayas are provided at the Grand Mosque). Public displays of affection and photographing strangers are frowned upon. Alcohol is served in licensed hotel restaurants only.
• Pack: light clothing with a jacket for air-conditioned interiors and winter desert evenings, sunglasses, sunscreen, a scarf for mosques, swimwear and comfortable shoes for malls – a Dubai Mall day is 5–8 km of walking.
• Timings: Burj Khalifa sunset slots sell out first – we book them two weeks ahead. The desert safari pick-up is around 3 pm and returns around 9.30 pm. Global Village opens at 4 pm. Friday is the start of the weekend, so expect bigger crowds Friday evening and Saturday.
• Connectivity: a tourist SIM is available at the airport with 2–4 GB free for a few days; a 7-day eSIM costs about ₹800 – 1,200. Video calls on WhatsApp are restricted in the UAE; Botim and similar apps work.
