Updated 2026-10-29 · For travellers from India — flying from Delhi (DEL), Mumbai (BOM), Bengaluru (BLR), Chennai (MAA), Hyderabad (HYD), Kolkata (CCU), Kochi (COK) and other international airports
The UAE, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and beyond, is one of India's great travel love affairs, and honestly, it makes complete sense. Flights from most Indian cities land you in Dubai in under five hours. The tourist visa process is relatively painless. And what greets you on the other side is genuinely beautiful: a glittering modern skyline, golden desert dunes, world-famous theme parks, fabulous malls and cultural landmarks like the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. At Travelzeego, our UAE tour packages from India take the planning entirely off your plate, hotel, transfers, key sightseeing and visa documentation support, all wrapped up so you simply arrive and enjoy. A budget Abu Dhabi city break, a family theme-park adventure, a premium Dubai-and-Abu-Dhabi explorer, there is a package on this page built specifically for travellers departing from India.
The India–UAE air corridor is one of the busiest on the planet, which is genuinely great news for Indian travellers, plenty of airlines, frequent daily schedules and competitive fares. Mumbai (BOM) and Delhi (DEL) have the highest frequency of direct flights to Dubai (DXB), operated by Emirates, Air India, IndiGo, flydubai and Air India Express among others. From Mumbai, expect a flight time of roughly 3h 20–40m; from Delhi about 3h 30–45m. Kochi (COK) has strong direct services to both Dubai and Abu Dhabi via Air Arabia Abu Dhabi and Air India Express (approx. 3h 50m–4h 15m). Chennai (MAA) connects directly to Abu Dhabi with Etihad, Air Arabia Abu Dhabi and IndiGo (approx. 4h 15–30m). Hyderabad (HYD) and Bengaluru (BLR) both have well-established direct routes to Dubai (approx. 3h 45m and 4h respectively). Ahmedabad (AMD) flies direct to Sharjah, one of the shortest India-to-UAE hops at approx. 2h 50m. From Kolkata, most travellers connect via Delhi or Mumbai. Passengers from Pune, Jaipur, Lucknow, Chandigarh and Amritsar typically travel to their nearest major hub before flying onward.
The UAE is at its most comfortable between October and April, when daytime temperatures are pleasant, mid-20s to low 30s °C. Summer (June–August) is seriously hot and humid, with temperatures regularly clearing 40 °C. For Indian travellers, the busiest travel windows are:
• Indian school summer holidays (April–June), popular despite the heat, especially for families; book early as fares and hotels fill up fast.
• Diwali and the October–November long weekend, a favourite for short city breaks.
• Christmas and New Year (late December), Dubai in particular goes all out; expect premium pricing.
• Holi long weekend (March), which works beautifully for a quick 4–5 night escape. For the best combination of value and pleasant weather, November to February is where it all comes together.
As of 2026, most Indian passport holders need to apply for an UAE tourist visa before travel. The process is online and fairly straightforward, single-entry visas are available for 30 or 60 days, and multiple-entry options exist. Our packages include visa assistance and documentation guidance where noted. Indian passport holders who also hold a valid US visa or Green Card, a valid EU (Schengen) visa or residence permit, or a valid residence permit from Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Singapore or New Zealand may qualify for a visa on arrival at UAE airports. An UK visa or UK residence permit alone no longer qualifies for UAE visa on arrival as of 2026. Visa rules can and do change, always verify the current requirements on the UAE ICP's official website before booking your trip.
