Day by day plan
- Day 1
Fly Nairobi to Dubai and check in
You fly from JKIA to Dubai International, about 5 hours 30 minutes in the air. Dubai is one hour ahead of Nairobi. Your driver meets you at arrivals with a name board and takes you to the hotel, usually a 25 to 40 minute ride. Check in, rest and then walk to a nearby restaurant. If you land early, you can leave bags at the hotel and start exploring.
- Day 2
Dubai city tour
After breakfast a guide collects you in an air conditioned van. The route passes the Jumeirah Mosque for a photo stop and the Burj Al Arab from the public beach. You cross onto the Palm Jumeirah and see Atlantis, then spend about an hour at the Dubai Mall and the base of the Burj Khalifa. The tour ends at the hotel by mid afternoon. Evening is free, with the fountain show at 6 pm onwards.
- Day 3
Desert safari with BBQ dinner
Keep the morning free for the hotel pool or the beach. At about 3 pm a 4×4 collects you. Your driver rides the dunes, stops for sunset photos and you can try a camel ride and sand boarding. The desert camp serves a BBQ dinner with soft drinks and tea. There is also a dance show and henna painting. You return to the hotel at about 9 pm.
- Day 4
Free day, then a dhow dinner
Today is yours. Many guests visit the Gold Souk and the Spice Souk in Deira, ride an abra across the Creek for AED 1 and then shop. Others take the metro to the Dubai Mall or add Abu Dhabi as an optional day. In the evening you board a traditional dhow for a buffet dinner and a cruise past the lit up skyline.
- Day 5
Last shopping and flight to Nairobi
Have breakfast, pack and use the morning for last minute shopping near the hotel. Check out. Your transfer takes you to the airport about three hours before your flight. You land in Nairobi the same day. If you want more days, our Dubai and Abu Dhabi packages add a night in the capital.

What the 5 Days Dubai Package from Nairobi Includes Each Day
Days 2 and 3 are the tour days. Day 4 is free in the day and a cruise in the evening. Day 1 and Day 5 are travel days that still give you a half day in the city.
If you want to add a ticket, such as the Burj Khalifa or a theme park, tell us when you book. We can reserve it. You pay the entry price on top. Ticket prices change by time of day and season, so we confirm them in writing.
Flights, Airlines and Baggage
Flydubai, Emirates and Kenya Airways are the usual choices for a 5 days Dubai package from Nairobi. The flight is about 5 hours 30 minutes. Some departures leave late at night, which saves you a hotel night but costs sleep.
We check the baggage allowance on your fare before booking. Some low fares include only a cabin bag. Tell us if you plan to shop, because extra kilos are cheaper to buy in advance.
Visa Steps for Your 5 Days Dubai Package from Nairobi
Kenyan passport holders normally need a UAE visa before flying. We confirm the current rule when you book, because fees and processing times change.
The usual steps are simple.
- Send your passport scan, photo and travel dates on WhatsApp
- We book flights and hotel, which the visa application needs
- We submit the application and send you the visa by email
- Print it and carry it with your passport
- Processing has recently taken about 3 to 5 working days, so apply 2 to 3 weeks ahead
Best Time for a 5 Days Dubai Package from Nairobi
November to March has the nicest weather, with highs of 24 to 30 degrees. That is also when Global Village and outdoor dining are open. April and October are warm and fairly priced.
June to September is very hot, so you stay indoors from midday. In return, hotels drop their rates. A 5 days Dubai package from Nairobi can cost noticeably less. Christmas week is the priciest of all.
Spending Money and Packing for a 5 Days Dubai Package from Nairobi
Plan KES 25,000 to 45,000 for lunches, dinners, tickets and shopping. A simple meal costs AED 25 to 40. The dirham is worth about KES 35. Pack light clothes, a thin jacket for cold malls, modest clothes for mosques and a UK style adapter.
Pay a deposit to hold the trip and clear the balance in instalments before you fly. Use Mpesa, bank or card on our secure checkout at book and pay. Fares can rise until tickets are issued.
Getting Around Dubai on a 5 Days Dubai Package from Nairobi
Your tour days include pickups, so you only pay for transport on the free day. The Dubai Metro links the airport, Deira, Downtown and the Marina. Buy a Nol card at any station and tap in and out. A ride costs about AED 3 to 8.
Taxis are metered and safe. A trip from Downtown to the Marina costs about AED 50 to 70. Ride hailing apps work too. Try the Creek abra for a different view, since it costs just AED 1 and runs all day.
Money, Etiquette and Safety
Cards work nearly everywhere but Mpesa does not. Carry some US dollars and swap them at a city exchange house, where rates usually beat the airport desk. Tip about 10 percent when service is not added.
Dubai is very safe and rules are strict. Alcohol is served only in licensed hotels and venues. Dress modestly outside beach and pool areas. Ask before photographing people. Public arguments and rude gestures can bring fines, so keep your cool in queues.
Is 5 Days Enough for Dubai?
For a first visit, yes. You see the main sights and relax on a beach day. If you love shopping or want Abu Dhabi, add two nights. Read about Dubai and Abu Dhabi packages or the Dubai shopping trip.
