Cancellation policy
Nothing to pay while we check rooms for your dates. Once you pay the booking amount we book a refundable hotel rate and send you the hotel's free-cancellation date in writing; for these hotels it is usually 3 to 14 days before arrival.
Most tours and transfers can be cancelled free until 24 hours before they start. Burj Khalifa and theme park tickets cannot be refunded once issued.
More questions, answered
Why does the price box show a standard and a peak price?
Standard is the price for arrival on 16 November 2026. Peak is the highest price we found for arrivals on 23 November, 7 December 2026 and 12 January 2027. Both were checked on 6 October 2026. Weeks we did not check can cost more or less, so we confirm the exact total for your dates in writing before you pay.
Will we stay in the hotel named on this page?
The price is based on that hotel for the date shown. If it is full or its rate has gone up for your dates, we offer a hotel of the same star rating with a similar Google rating and tell you its name before you pay. If you want to keep the named hotel, we quote the difference.
Is there a cheaper price for a group of four?
Yes. Four adults in two rooms at Al Khoory Inn, a 2-star hotel in Bur Dubai with a Google rating of 4.6 (or a similar 2-star hotel), pay Rs 24,499 each for arrival on 16 November 2026. The group plan has the dhow cruise, city tour and desert safari, with a private 7-seater for the airport, and leaves out Global Village. Peak dates go up to Rs 32,499 each.
Is the Dubai visa included?
Not in this price. We file the 30-day single-entry UAE tourist visa for Rs 8,000 per person. If you hold a valid US visa or green card, or an EU residence permit, you may qualify for a visa on arrival; send us your passport details and we check before you book.
Are flights included?
No. Flights are quoted separately at the live fare for your dates and city, so you see the land price and the flight price as two numbers. We can book both on one invoice.
How far is the hotel from the city?
Holiday Inn Express Dubai Airport is in Al Garhoud, about ten minutes from the airport and twenty minutes by taxi from Dubai Mall.
Is vegetarian food available?
Yes. Hotel breakfasts have vegetarian options, and the dhow cruise and desert camp dinners are buffets with vegetarian dishes. Tell us if you need Jain food and we check with the operator before you book.
Can we travel at Christmas or New Year?
Yes, but 20 December to 5 January is priced separately because hotel rates are much higher. Send us your dates and we quote them.
