About Dubai & Abu Dhabi
Dubai is four hours from Chennai and built for holidays: the world’s tallest building, desert dune drives with dinner, the Dubai Frame, malls, marina cruises and theme parks that keep children busy for days.
Abu Dhabi is an easy day out for the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Ferrari World and the Louvre Abu Dhabi, or a calmer base for a couple of nights.

Questions travellers ask

Usually 3–5 working days once we have clear passport copies and photos.
Dubai in summer?+
