Day by day plan
- Day 1
Nairobi to Dubai
You fly from JKIA to Dubai in about 5 hours 30 minutes. Flight times depend on the airline and date, so we confirm yours in writing. A driver meets you at arrivals and takes you to your hotel. After check in, take an easy evening walk along Dubai Marina or the Creek. Eat something light and sleep early. Tomorrow starts with a full tour.
- Day 2
Dubai city tour
A guide picks you up after breakfast for a half day tour. You stop at the Jumeirah Mosque for photos and see the Burj Al Arab from the beach. You drive the Palm Jumeirah to Atlantis, then spend time at Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa base. Going up the tower is optional and paid on the day. Stay for the fountain show after dark.
- Day 3
Desert safari and BBQ dinner
Sleep in, swim or shop until about 3 pm. A 4×4 collects you for the desert. Your driver rides the dunes, you stop for sunset photos and you can try a camel ride. The camp serves a BBQ dinner with soft drinks and tea, plus a dance show. You are back at your hotel by about 9 pm.
- Day 4
Old Dubai, souks and a dhow dinner
Spend the morning in Deira and Bur Dubai. Ride an abra across the Creek for AED 1, walk the Gold Souk and sniff the Spice Souk. Afternoon is yours for shopping or the beach. In the evening you board a traditional dhow for a buffet dinner and a slow cruise past the lit up skyline.
- Day 5
Free morning and flight home
Pack, have a last breakfast and use the free morning for last minute shopping. Your transfer takes you to Dubai International about three hours before your flight. You land in Nairobi the same day, tired and tanned. If you want more time, ask us about adding two nights or an Abu Dhabi day.

How Much Are Dubai Holiday Packages from Nairobi?
Our guide prices for 5 days and 4 nights are KES 99,000 in a 3 star hotel, KES 115,000 in a 4 star and KES 149,000 in a 5 star. Each is per person sharing a twin room, flights included.
Listed Kenyan prices for a similar 5 day trip run from about KES 94,000 up to KES 128,600. Many bury the number. We put ours up front. Where a price depends on the day you fly, we say so before you pay.
Single travellers pay more because a room costs the same for one or two people. Bring a friend and the sharing price applies to both of you. Most Dubai holiday packages from Nairobi are built around two people in one room. For the Christmas rush, read our Dubai New Year and December packages.
What Our Dubai Holiday Packages from Nairobi Include
With our Dubai holiday packages from Nairobi you get one booking for the flight, hotel, transfers and tours. We also handle the visa application with you. That means one team to call if a flight changes, instead of an airline, a hotel and an agent.
We place hotels close to a Dubai Metro station where we can. That keeps free days cheap, because a ride costs about AED 3 to 8. For the full day by day plan, see the 5 days 4 nights Dubai package.
Dubai Hotel Tiers: 3 Star, 4 Star or 5 Star
All three tiers include breakfast. The star rating changes the location, pool and room size more than the tours.
- 3 star: clean twin rooms in Deira or Bur Dubai, close to souks and metro, small pool
- 4 star: Downtown, Business Bay or Marina area, bigger rooms, a good pool and gym
- 5 star: beach or Palm Jumeirah resorts, private beach access, large rooms and several restaurants
- Upgrade to a room with a Burj Khalifa view for about KES 8,000 to 20,000 more per person
Flights for Dubai Holiday Packages from Nairobi
Three airlines carry most Dubai holiday packages from Nairobi: flydubai, Emirates and Kenya Airways. Flight time is about 5 hours 30 minutes. Dubai runs one hour ahead of Nairobi. Departure times change by season, so we confirm yours at booking.
Economy baggage allowances differ by airline and fare. Some low fares carry only a small cabin bag. We tell you which fare we booked and the checked bag allowance before you pay. Book early for December and August, when seats fill and fares jump.
Dubai Visa for Kenyan Passport Holders
Kenyan passport holders normally need a visa before flying to Dubai. Rules and fees change, so we confirm the current rule when you book. At recent rates the visa costs roughly KES 12,000 to 16,000 and takes about 3 to 5 working days.
- Passport valid for at least 6 months, with blank pages

- Apply 2 to 3 weeks before travel, or earlier for December
Best Months for Dubai from Kenya
November to March is the sweet spot, with days of 24 to 30 degrees and cool evenings. December is busiest and priciest. June to September is very hot, often above 40 degrees, but hotels cost less and malls are cool.
Kenyan school holidays in April, August and December all work for Dubai holiday packages from Nairobi. Heat and Ramadan dates change the feel of the trip, so check the dates when you plan. During Ramadan, daytime eating in public is restricted and some attractions shorten their hours, but evenings are lively and hotel rates often drop.
Costs on the Ground and What to Pack for Dubai
The dirham trades at about KES 35. A simple meal costs AED 25 to 40, a sit down dinner AED 70 to 120. The Burj Khalifa observation deck starts at about AED 170 and costs more at sunset. Budget KES 25,000 to 45,000 for food, tickets and shopping over five days.
- Light cotton clothes and a thin jacket for cold air conditioning
- One modest outfit covering shoulders and knees for mosques
- Comfortable walking shoes, sandals and swimwear
- A UK style three pin adapter and a power bank
- Prescriptions in original packs, since some medicines are restricted
Getting Around Dubai Without Overspending
The Dubai Metro runs two lines and links the airport, Deira, Downtown and the Marina. Buy a Nol card at any station and tap in and out. A single ride is cheap. A day pass pays off if you ride four times or more.
Taxis are metered and safe. Ride hailing apps work too. A trip from Downtown to the Marina costs about AED 50 to 70. The tram and the Creek abra boats are fun extras. Your tour days already include pickups, so you only pay for free day travel.
Money, Etiquette and Safety in Dubai
Cards work almost 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 already added.
Dubai is very safe, with strict rules. Alcohol is served only in licensed hotels and venues. Dress modestly outside beach and pool areas. Ask before photographing people. Do not fly a drone without a permit. Public arguments and rude gestures can bring fines.
