Flights to Dubai: practical information

Regular and low cost flights to Dubai

Dubai is a major hub for travellers on the way to Asia. The major airlines flying to Dubai are all from the East: Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Aeroflot, Egyptair, Emirates, etc. You can fly with direct air tickets to Dubai from London with Emirates, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, but at a higher price. Flights with at least one stopover are at least a third of the price. Emirates also flies from Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle and Glasgow.

Norwegian Air is the only low cost airline offering cheap Dubai flight tickets, departing from London Gatwick and Edinburgh. Almost all flights land at Dubai International Airport (DXB) which is known around the world for its excellent duty-free shopping. More and more in the future however we'll see flights to Dubai landing at the new Dubai World Central - Al Maktoum International (to open 2011).

When to book flights to Dubai

Dubai is a scorcher. The summers are hot and sunny and the winters are well, hot and sunny. The winter nights cool down considerably though, offering a welcome break from the heat. If you can't handle humidity, avoid booking tickets from London to Dubai during the summer months.

  • Peak season: Winter, from December to March.
  • Low season: Ramadan (the Muslim month of fasting) is strictly followed in the UAE. During this time it is illegal to drink, eat or smoke in public during daylight hours, even for non-Muslim tourists. It usually takes place in October/November. Summer.

Flight duration

Direct flights from London to Dubai take 6h 50min. If your flights to Dubai have one stopover expect the trip to take at least 8h.

Experience Dubai: what to do, what to see

Who hasn't dreamt of discovering the legendary charms of Dubai and the eccentricity of its skyscrapers, each taller than the next? In Dubai, there's a surprise waiting for you around every corner, from the futuristic architecture of the Burj al-Arab to the traditional souk streets in Deira. Travellers spending their holidays in Dubai will find themselves riding piggy-back in a place teetering between modern and traditional.

Essentials in Dubai

Change your scenery and discover this cosmopolitan city where you can hear Hindi, Persian and Urdu spoken in the same shop. It's a city of ultimate contrasts, one not to miss.

Burj al-Arab: This building is all about sweeping heights and beating world records. It's an architectural feat. Just off of Jumeirah Beach, this building stands 321m tall and is covered in 145 square metres of gold leaf. If you have the cash to spare, it's worth dining at the hotel restaurant or sipping a cocktail in the Skyview Bar.

Dubai Museum: Al-Fahidi Fort, which houses the Dubai Museum was built in 1787 and is now completely restored. It's essentially one big history lesson of the United Arab Emirates packed into about an hour and a half.

Camel Racing at Nad al Sheba: Likely the most unusual tourist attraction in Dubai, but the locals are passionate for their camel racing which takes place between 7 and 8am. If you're not up early, you'll miss it.

Souks of Deira: For a taste of traditional Dubai, hit the souks of Deira. There the streets and marketplaces will transport you back in time and it's hard to get bored of the narrow winding streets and beautiful shops and stalls. Spices, jewellery, textiles and more.

Madinat Jumeirah: Practically a city within a city, it's a hotel, shopping mall and entertainment complex all in one. Explore the canals, go shopping in the souk, lounge in the gardens. This is one of Dubai's most popular spots, even among the locals.

Accommodations in Dubai

Dubai is riding high on the list of top hotel cities in the world. The city has more than 400 hotels! When you consider though that 8 million travellers visit the city a year, you can understand why they have so many. New hotels are popping up like hotcakes all over the place, in hopes of keeping up with the increasing demand among business travellers. If you don't have the funds to sleep at the Burj al-Arab, the most luxurious hotel in the world (7 stars!), there are plenty of other choices in the mid-range. Book hotels in Dubai at least one month in advance. For backpackers, there are also a few youth hotels in Dubai as well.
