The cost of a Dubai tour can vary significantly depending on the type of tour and the experiences included. Basic city tours may start at around $50–$100 per person, while more luxurious or specialized tours, such as desert safaris, private city tours, or dinner cruises, can range from $100 to $300 or more. Multi-day packages that include accommodation, meals, and sightseeing may cost anywhere from $500 to $2,000 per person, depending on the level of luxury and customization. Always check with tour operators like EgyVacations for the best deals and tailored packages to fit your budget.
The best time to visit Dubai is during the cooler months, from November to March. During this period, temperatures are more comfortable, ranging between 20°C and 30°C (68°F to 86°F), making it ideal for outdoor activities like desert safaris, sightseeing, and beach visits. The summer months (June to August) can be extremely hot, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C (104°F), so it's generally better to avoid visiting during this time unless you plan to stay indoors in air-conditioned spaces.
For a well-rounded experience of Dubai, 3 to 5 days is usually sufficient. In this time, you can explore the city's top attractions like the Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Mall, Dubai Marina, and the historic Al Fahidi District. If you’re interested in additional activities such as a desert safari, theme parks (like Aquaventure or IMG Worlds of Adventure), or a day trip to Abu Dhabi, consider extending your stay to 4 or 5 days. This allows for a relaxed pace, without rushing through the highlights.
The amount of money you’ll need for 5 days in Dubai depends on your travel style and preferences. On average, a budget traveler might spend around $50–$100 per day, totaling $250–$500 for 5 days. This would cover meals at casual restaurants, basic sightseeing, and budget accommodation. For a mid-range traveler, expect to spend around $150–$250 per day, or $750–$1,250 for the entire trip, which would cover meals at higher-end restaurants, moderate attractions, and 4-star hotels. If you plan to stay in luxury resorts, dine at upscale restaurants, and indulge in exclusive experiences, your daily budget could easily exceed $300–$500, totaling around $1,500–$2,500 for the trip. Always factor in extra for shopping, souvenirs, and optional activities.
