Dubai from Delhi: what to know before you book

Delhi has many flights to Dubai, including options on both Gulf carriers and Indian airlines. Because winter fog affects early departures between December and January, choose a later flight if your schedule is tight.

Skyscrapers, desert safaris and shopping, just a few hours from India. Most itineraries run 4–5 nights. Delhi's heat from May to June pushes many families towards the hills or overseas, while winter fog from December to January can disturb early-morning departures.

Travel tips for Delhi travellers

  • Look at departures from other terminals and carriers; the best fare is not always the earliest flight.
  • In December and January, choose afternoon or evening departures where possible. Fog can delay or cancel early flights.
  • From Delhi, flights to the Himalaya and Kashmir are short and frequent, so domestic trips can be done in long weekends.
  • Dress modestly at mosques and keep public displays of affection low-key.
  • Carry a light jacket: malls and metros are heavily air-conditioned.
  • Use the metro and taxis; Dubai is spread out and walking between sights is rarely practical.
