Semester Break Dubai Tour

Dubai with the family: Dubai Frame, Miracle Garden and three nights in a 5★ hotel

From €799 per person in a double room

Overview

On this semester break tour we kept the programme short and the days balanced, so you can explore Dubai with your children without wearing anyone out. We cross Dubai Creek by abra in Old Dubai, look over the old and new city from the glass-floored bridge of the 150-metre Dubai Frame, and wander among the giant flower sculptures of Miracle Garden.

A daytime outbound flight with Emirates means the holiday starts without a sleepless night for younger travellers. You stay at a 5★ hotel with a pool, and entry to Dubai Frame and Miracle Garden is included. A desert safari and the Burj Khalifa observation deck can be added to suit your family.

In late January Dubai has mild days and cool evenings, one of the most comfortable times of year for sightseeing outdoors. A Turkish-speaking guide is with you throughout.

Visa Information e-Visa

The United Arab Emirates requires Turkish citizens holding ordinary passports, including children, to obtain a visa before travelling. The e-visa application is made through us; for each traveller, a colour passport scan and a biometric photo on a white background are all we need. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months after the return date. Children travelling with only one parent may be asked for a notarised letter of consent; the visa fee and current requirements are confirmed before travel.

Important Information

  • Dubai Miracle Garden is a seasonal attraction open in winter; in the unlikely event of a closure, an equivalent family activity is offered instead.
  • The child price applies to ages 2–11 sharing a room with two adults; for infants under 2, only flight and visa costs are charged.
  • Semester dates are in high demand, so family rooms and connecting rooms are subject to availability and should be requested when booking.
  • The dune drive on the desert safari is not recommended for pregnant guests, anyone with back or neck problems, or young children.
  • Hotel check-in is usually from 15:00 and check-out by 12:00.

Cancellation & Refunds

Bookings are confirmed with a written package tour contract finalised with our adviser. Cancellation charges based on the time remaining before departure, non-refundable items (visa fees, insurance, special-fare flights) and your rights if a tour is cancelled are explained on our Cancellation & Refund Policy page. Tour-specific terms are stated in the contract.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the tour suitable for young children?

Yes. The programme is planned around children's pace: most sightseeing takes place in the morning, leaving afternoons free to relax by the hotel pool. The daytime flight also makes the journey easier for younger travellers.

Can a family of four share a room?

A family room or connecting rooms can be arranged for two adults and two children, subject to availability; a supplement may apply depending on the room type. We recommend mentioning this when you book.

Do children also need a visa?

Yes, a separate e-visa is issued for every traveller, including infants, and each child needs their own passport. We submit all applications together; visa fees are not included in the tour price.
