Dubai Tour Package from India — Visa, Flights, Itinerary & Budget Guide 2026

Dubai is the most popular international destination for Indian travellers — a city that has reinvented what a metropolis can be in just 50 years. From the world's tallest building to the world's largest shopping mall, from ancient gold souks to futuristic artificial islands, Dubai delivers superlatives at every turn. The best part for Indian visitors: it is just 3 hours from most Indian cities, making it perfect for a 4–5 day trip.

This guide by HMX Global Travels covers everything you need for a Dubai trip from India in 2026.

Dubai Visa for Indian Passport Holders

Indians need a visa to enter Dubai (UAE). The good news: it is one of the easiest international visas to obtain.

Visa Types:

• UAE Tourist Visa (30 days, single entry): Apply online through UAE ICA portal (icp.gov.ae) or through your airline. Processing time: 3–5 working days. Fee: approx. ₹5,500–₹7,000 (varies by type).
• UAE Tourist Visa (60 days): Good for an extended stay. Fee: approx. ₹9,000–₹11,000.
• Visa on Arrival (96 hours / 4 days): Available to Indian passport holders holding a valid US, UK, EU, or Australian visa/residency. Excellent for transit stopovers.

Documents Required:

• Passport valid for 6+ months from travel date
• Passport-size photographs (white background)
• Confirmed return air tickets
• Hotel booking confirmation
• Bank statement (last 3 months showing minimum ₹50,000–₹1,00,000 balance)

HMX Global provides Dubai visa assistance for all package bookings — we submit documents on your behalf and track approval.

HMX Global tip: Book flights 6–8 weeks in advance for best rates. December–January is peak season — fares can double; book early or travel in October–November or February.

Top Things to Do in Dubai

Burj Khalifa — World's Tallest Building

At 828 metres (163 floors), the Burj Khalifa is one of humanity's great engineering achievements and Dubai's defining icon. Two observation decks:

• At the Top (Level 124 & 125): ₹2,000–₹3,500 (time-slot based; book online at burjkhalifa.ae)
• At the Top Sky (Level 148): ₹5,500+ (less crowded, higher, premium experience)

Visit at sunset — 90 minutes before sunset is magic hour; the city is golden, and as night falls, Dubai's LED skyline illuminates. Book 2–3 days in advance.

Dubai Desert Safari

A quintessential Dubai experience — and genuinely unlike anything else. An afternoon desert safari (standard format):

• Hotel pickup around 3 PM
• Dune bashing in 4x4 Toyota Land Cruisers (30 min of pure adrenaline)
• Sandboarding, camel riding, and quad biking
• Sundowner photography at the dunes
• Arabian desert camp: buffet dinner (Arabic + Indian options), belly dance, Tanoura (Sufi spinning) performance, shisha

Cost: ₹3,000–₹5,000 per person for shared group safari. Private safari: ₹8,000–₹12,000.

Dubai Mall & Burj Khalifa Lake

The Dubai Mall is the world's largest shopping mall by total area — 1,200+ retail outlets, an indoor ice rink, an aquarium, and the Dubai Fountain (world's tallest, 274-metre water jets dancing to music) on the Burj Khalifa Lake outside.

Dubai Fountain Show: Free to watch from the waterfront promenade. Runs every 30 minutes from 6 PM; the 9 PM show is the most spectacular. Do not miss it.

Dubai Creek & Gold Souk

Old Dubai, on the banks of Dubai Creek, is where the city's soul lives. The abra (wooden ferry, ₹25) crosses the creek between Bur Dubai and Deira — one of the world's great short journeys.

• Gold Souk, Deira: The world's largest gold market — over 300 shops in covered lanes; 10 tonnes of gold on display at any given time. Bargaining is expected.
• Spice Souk: Right next to the Gold Souk; fragrant lanes of saffron, cardamom, frankincense, and dried roses. Buy saffron here — it is among the best rates in the world.
• Dubai Museum (Al Fahidi Fort): Small but excellent museum of Dubai's pre-oil history. Entry ₹100. Worth 90 minutes.

Palm Jumeirah & Atlantis

Dubai's artificial palm-shaped island is home to luxury hotels, restaurants, and the Atlantis Water Park. The Palm Monorail connects to the mainland; the Atlantis Aquaventure Water Park is a full-day activity for families (₹5,000–₹7,000 per person). The 360° views from the top of the Atlantis Royal Hotel (Sky Views observatory) are stunning.

• Saravana Bhavan: Multiple locations; excellent South Indian thali and dosas at Indian-level prices.
