UAE residents looking to save on travel expenses can benefit from booking their holiday trips between mid-October and mid-November. According to travel company Expedia, booking during this period can result in savings of up to 45% compared to other dates. This trend is part of a broader shift towards cost-conscious travel among UAE residents this fall season.
Popular Destinations for UAE Travelers
Expedia's data shows a significant increase in searches for popular international destinations. London remains a top choice, with a noticeable rise in interest compared to last year. Other popular destinations include Paris, New York, and Singapore, which have seen increases in searches of 20%, 35%, and 60%, respectively. Mediterranean destinations such as Ibiza, Pattaya (Thailand), and Mykonos (Greece) are also expected to attract a higher number of UAE residents.
Domestic Travel on the Rise
Within the UAE, domestic travel is also seeing a surge. The northern emirates, particularly Ras Al Khaimah, have become increasingly popular, showing an 85% increase in searches compared to last fall. The emirate's appeal lies in its cooler climate, unique accommodations like the Maldives-inspired Anantara Mina Al Arab, and tranquil settings against the Hajar Mountains.
