Dubai all-inclusive

All-inclusive holidays in Dubai are particularly popular. Firstly, they help keep tabs on your costs and give you access to the best excursions, extras, and activities from when you land.

Dubai is a dream destination that enchants and excites all who visit. It’s the perfect mix of a city break – with culture, food and shopping galore – seaside escape and an adventure holiday. Dubai’s best-weather season coincides with British winter, so the best time to visit is between November and March. Peak season is December to mid-February, and the New Year’s festivities here are particularly popular.

This busy and exciting destination has it all: dozens of fantastic malls, traditional souks, museums and cultural sights and the most pristine white-sand beaches you’re ever likely to see. It’s also an experience-focused country, with wildly exciting activities like all-year skiing, the world’s deepest indoor scuba dive, kite surfing, desert excursions and infinity pools to take your breath away.

Dubai all-inclusive: Good to know

How to reach Dubai

You can easily fly from multiple UK airports to Dubai in around seven hours. You can fly direct from London Gatwick, Heathrow and Stansted, as well as Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester and Newcastle. Depending on the time of year, the UAE (where Dubai is located) is three or four hours ahead of the UK.

Tips to enjoy the best of Dubai

The official language of Dubai is Arabic, but because the country is such a melting pot of nationalities, you’ll find many languages here, including English. Although swimwear and short clothing is fully acceptable in tourist areas of Dubai, and certainly in hotels, you may feel more comfortable and respectful in some places with modest clothing. Long, light and loose items of clothing are ideal for the heat too. The minimum drinking age is 21. Hiring a car can be a hassle, so most people opt to hire the frequent and reliable taxis. One of the best things about Dubai all-inclusive holidays is that your hotel can easily arrange rides for you.

Practical information

The Visa process for Dubai is super-simple for UK passport holders staying for less than 40 days. You’ll be granted a free visitor/tourist visa upon arrival, there’s no need to apply in advance. The local currency is the dirham (AED) and you’ll find places to exchange your money at the airport as soon as you arrive.

Best areas for an all-inclusive holiday in Dubai

For a truly unique break, book a Dubai all-inclusive holiday on The Palm Jumeirah. This man-made island is a luxury playground, with breath-taking infinity pools and sky bars, unlimited water sports and yachting, scuba diving, pristine and private hotel beaches, and beautiful sunset walks. Not to mention, it’s home to some of the most iconic Dubai architecture. The key reason to go all-inclusive here is to truly experience all your hotel has to offer – to dine in the most exquisite restaurants, use the best spa facilities and make the most of the adventure activities, without spending a penny while you stay. Another popular area of Dubai is Downtown, home to the iconic Burj Khalifa and Dubai fountain plus great night-time attractions. Here you’re in Dubai’s shopping and foodie heart. The mall is more than just a mall, home to a huge aquarium, ice rink, VR gaming experience, the opera and a stunning immersive art museum. You’re also very close to the Ras al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, Deep Dive Dubai and IMG World of Adventure.

All-inclusive beach holidays in Dubai

One of the top spots for a fabulous beach break in Dubai is Jumeirah Beach. Close to the famous Wild Wadi Waterpark and some malls, plus with a powdery sand beach, on-beach service from the hotels and a glorious sunset view over the city skyline – it’s an area to fall in love with.

Umm Suqiem is another beautiful seafront district with views of the Burj al Arab, easy access to the water park and close to The Palm too. You have your pick of sandy, shallow-sea beaches, as well as the popular Kite Beach for water sports – or simply watching the colourful kites – and there’s a floodlit area of shore specifically for night swimming with a view of the gorgeous, illuminated cityscape.

Why book an all-inclusive holiday in Dubai?

If you’re looking to keep tabs on your costs while in this fantastic city, cheap all-inclusive holidays to Dubai are perfect. Besides the ATOL protection, the best thing about going all in is that all your food, snacks, and drinks are catered for and you have access to most or all of the restaurants on site. What’s included varies by hotel, but it may include spa access and some on-beach water sports, while others, like yachting excursions, might need booking as an extra.
