Plan your Dubai holiday from the UK: flights, hotel, transfers and visa guidance, planned by a team that knows the destination.
Dubai holidays from the UK
Everything in one trip: shopping, theme parks, desert adventure and beach hotels. If you are travelling from the UK, we plan the whole trip, including the right flights, a hotel that suits your style and the transfers and tours that make the holiday easy.
Getting to Dubai from the UK
Direct flights to Dubai are frequent from London and several UK cities. We compare options for your dates and look at total travel time, not just price.
Time difference
Dubai is about 3 to 4 hours ahead of London, depending on daylight saving, so most travellers adjust quickly.
How long to stay
For travellers from the UK, a Dubai holiday is usually 7 to 10 nights. We recommend 4–6 nights on the ground.
Best time to go
November to March is the best time to visit Dubai. Days are usually pleasant (roughly 22 to 30 degrees), the beaches are comfortable and outdoor attractions such as the desert and the marina are at their best. December and January are the peak weeks and the most expensive.
Entry requirements
Entry rules depend on your passport. Visitors from many countries, including the USA, Canada and the UK, can usually enter visa-free or with a visa on arrival, while others need a visa arranged before travel. Always confirm the current rules for your passport before booking.
Top experiences to include
- Burj Khalifa. Go up the world's tallest building at sunset for the best views and photos.
- Desert safari. Dune driving, camel rides and a barbecue dinner under the stars, usually a late-afternoon departure.
