How Much Does a Holiday Package from the UAE Cost in 2026?
A holiday package from the UAE typically costs AED 3,000–6,000 per person for closer, value destinations like Georgia, Thailand and Malaysia, and AED 7,500–12,000+ per person for premium island escapes like Mauritius, Seychelles and the Maldives — including flights, hotels and transfers for around 5–7 nights. Your final price is driven by season, hotel category, board basis and group size more than the destination alone.
“How much will it cost?” is the first question almost every UAE traveller asks. Below are realistic 2026 starting prices by destination, what’s usually included, and the factors that move the number up or down.

What’s usually included in the price?
A standard package price generally covers return flights from a UAE airport, hotel accommodation for your stay, airport transfers and breakfast. All-inclusive plans add more meals, drinks and some activities — at a higher price point.
What makes a holiday package more (or less) expensive?
- Season: peak windows (Eid, school holidays, December–January) cost noticeably more. Shoulder months are the value sweet spot.
- Hotel category: moving from 3★ to 5★ is usually the single biggest price lever.
- Board basis: room-only vs all-inclusive can change the total substantially.
- Flight timing: direct, well-timed flights cost more than awkward layovers.
- Group size: families and groups often unlock better per-person rates.
- Transfers: island transfers (e.g. Maldives seaplanes) can add a lot — always check.
How to get the best value
Travel in shoulder season, stay flexible on dates by a few days, book 6–10 weeks ahead, and get an itemised quote so you can see exactly where your money goes. A tailored package from a specialist often beats a fixed online deal because it matches your real budget instead of a one-size-fits-all listing.
Budget planning tip: total trip cost
Beyond the package price, budget for visa or e-visa fees where applicable, travel insurance (now mandatory for some destinations like Georgia), spending money for meals and tours not included, and tips. Building these in upfront keeps your real “all-in” number accurate.
