Family fun passes

The passes include entry to Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark, where families can tackle its famous waterslides, Lost World Aquarium, home to sharks and rays, and a Dubai City Sightseeing Hop-On Hop-Off tour, making it easy to explore landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa and historic Al Fahidi.

Discounts

Travellers can also use their Emirates boarding pass to unlock My Emirates Pass, with discounts and special offers at hundreds of shops, restaurants, spas and attractions across the UAE. Just present a physical or digital boarding pass along with a valid ID at participating venues.

Booking assistance

For help planning the trip, Dubai Experience lets visitors book hotels, restaurants, tours and activities in one place, with hundreds of options to choose from and itineraries that can be tailored to different budgets.

Peace of mind coverage

Emirates is also giving travellers a little more flexibility when booking a Dubai holiday. Eligible customers can make unlimited free date changes across all cabin classes, hold their fare for 24 hours at no charge, and benefit from reduced refund fees. For added peace of mind, travellers can purchase Emirates Comprehensive Travel Cover when booking their flight or add it later through Manage Your Booking. Available in 27 countries, the cover includes unlimited worldwide medical expenses, emergency evacuation, trip cancellation, and cover for baggage that is delayed or lost. It also includes conflict cover, with medical expenses of up to US$25,000 and the option of extending a trip by up to 30 days at no extra cost.

The conflict cover is not restricted by government travel advice, giving travellers additional protection if circumstances change while they are away.

When to book

The offer applies to eligible return tickets to Dubai purchased between 21 September and 11 October 2026, for travel from 24 September to 13 December 2026, across all cabin classes.
