What a Dubai trip really costs
This guide breaks down a 4 nights / 5 days Dubai trip into flights, stay, food, transport and activities, per person with two travellers sharing a room. It is written for travellers across India, not for one departure city, so flight costs are shown as a range from a major metro.
All numbers are indicative planning figures in rupees. They are not quotes, and they change with season, hotel choice and how early you book. The best way to turn them into real numbers is to compare actual quotes for your dates.

November to March is the peak: pleasant weather, higher hotel rates and tight availability around December. May to September is very hot, with the lowest hotel prices.
| When | Conditions | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Nov – Feb | Sunny, 22–28°C by day, cooler evenings | Best overall. Peak prices around Christmas–New Year |
| Mar – Apr | Warming up, 28–36°C | Still comfortable; good value after the winter peak |
| May – Sep | Very hot and humid, 38–45°C | Cheapest hotels. Plan indoor activities, malls, aquariums and evening outings |
| Oct | Easing heat, 32–36°C | Shoulder month; outdoor sights become comfortable again by late October |
How to spend less on Dubai
- Travel between April and October for much lower hotel rates, and plan indoor attractions.
- Combine attraction tickets into one pass where possible.
- Stay near a metro station rather than directly at Downtown.
