A UAE holiday, under four hours from India
The UAE is one of the easiest international holidays from India. Direct flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and most major cities take three to four hours, Indian food is everywhere, and the time difference is only 90 minutes. That makes it a first international trip for many families, and a quick break for couples and friends.
Most trips centre on Dubai: the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, the Marina, a desert safari and dhow cruise, and the old souks of Deira. Many travellers add an Abu Dhabi day trip for the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the theme parks on Yas Island.
When to visit the UAE
November to March is the best time, with pleasant days around 20 to 30°C, ideal for the desert, beaches and outdoor sightseeing. June to September is very hot, but it suits indoor attractions, malls and hotel deals, and is good value for families travelling in the summer holidays. See our month-by-month guide to the best time to visit Dubai.
What a UAE trip costs from India
Costs depend on your dates, hotel and how many nights you stay. Prices rise around Diwali, Christmas and New Year, so book those dates early. Our Dubai trip cost from India guide breaks down flights, hotels, sightseeing and visa costs.
Visa for Indian travellers
Indian passport holders need a UAE tourist visa or, in some cases, can get one on arrival. Rules change, so read our Dubai visa guide for Indians; our team checks the current requirement and handles the application with your booking.
