Wondering what a Dubai holiday really costs from India? Here is a clear 2026 budget breakdown — flights, visa, hotels, the desert safari, food, transport and shopping — so you can plan a 5-day Dubai trip with confidence.
Quick answer
A comfortable 5-day Dubai trip from India costs ₹55,000–₹90,000 per person on twin-sharing including flights, visa, hotels, the desert safari and transfers. Luxury stays and theme parks push it higher; off-season travel brings it down.
Flights
Return economy fares from India to Dubai (DXB) usually run ₹22,000–₹40,000 depending on city and season. Booking early and flying off-peak saves the most.
UAE visa
Indians need a UAE tourist e-visa, costing roughly ₹6,500–₹8,500 for a 30-day visa (handled by our visa assistance).
Hotels
| Category | Per night (twin) |
|---|---|
| Budget 3★ (Deira/Bur Dubai) | ₹3,500–₹6,000 |
| Comfort 4★ | ₹6,500–₹10,000 |
| Luxury 5★ (Downtown/Marina) | ₹14,000+ |
Desert safari & attractions
Desert safari with BBQ (₹2,500–₹4,000), Burj Khalifa At The Top (₹3,000–₹4,500), dhow cruise (₹2,000–₹3,500) and theme parks (₹5,000–₹7,000) are the big-ticket experiences. Budget ₹8,000–₹18,000 for activities.
Food & transport
Indian and budget restaurants cost ₹400–₹900 a meal; the metro (Nol card) is cheap. Budget ₹1,500–₹3,000/day for food and getting around.
Shopping & extras
Keep ₹8,000–₹20,000 for the Gold Souk, malls and a buffer for tips and the tourism dirham city tax.
How to save
Travel in summer for the lowest prices, stay in Deira/Bur Dubai, use the metro, and book a bundled Dubai package from Kolkata that includes flights, visa, safari and transfers.
