UAE National Day Travel Packages Disappearing Fast!

Travel Packages Selling Out Fast for UAE's National Day – Book Now

The UAE National Day annually offers residents the opportunity to relax for a few days, explore new destinations, or simply escape from everyday routines. This year, however, those who delay booking might end up paying up to 1,500 dirhams more for a travel package than those who act in time. Places are quickly selling out, and prices are rising daily – travel agencies warn.

Immediate Rush After the Announcement

As soon as the UAE announced the official holidays for this year's National Day, travel agency customer services were practically stormed by residents. Based on experiences from previous years, many awaited the confirmation of the dates, and as soon as it happened, interest skyrocketed. According to companies offering travel packages, the most popular destinations, such as Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, or Uzbekistan, are already fully booked in many cases.

Quick reactions are not coincidental: these countries are attractive to UAE residents not only because of their proximity but also due to simplified visa processes. The short flight time and favorable value-for-money ratio make them an ideal choice for a short holiday getaway.

Why Are Prices Increasing So Much?

According to travel agencies, current starting prices – for example, packages to Georgia – start at about 2,500 dirhams. However, this will not last for long. Due to the level of interest and limited availability, prices are rising practically every day. Some agents predict that within a week, prices could rise to 3,500-4,000 dirhams if someone starts booking only on the weekend.

The main reason for this is that many can only make decisions mid-week when they are sure if they will get leave or how the corporate schedule will be. Therefore, weekends are usually the time for travel decisions – but by then, it may be too late for favorable prices.

Why Book Now?

Travel experts say there is still some room for booking, but this can change quickly. Delays may result in thousands of dirhams in additional costs, especially if someone prefers evening or early morning flight times – these are already heavily booked, especially for departures on November 28.

Those who book now still have a good chance of finding suitable times, flights, and accommodations, and at a better price than those who wait until the last minute. Experience shows that travel agencies cannot guarantee that any package will be available by the weekend, so it's advisable to decide as soon as possible.

Top Destinations and Why They're Attractive

The Caucasus region remains at the forefront of interest. Georgia, for example, is particularly popular due to its stunning natural scenery, visa-free entry, and friendly prices. The capital of Azerbaijan, Baku, is a contrast of modern and historical worlds, offering much culturally.

Armenia and Uzbekistan are also attracting more visitors from the UAE, as these destinations can be reached with relatively short flights and offer unique experiences – whether it's mountain hiking, historical attractions, or authentic gastronomy.

What Should Undecided Travelers Do?

If someone hasn't booked their holiday travel yet, now is the last chance to take advantage of favorable prices. Travel agencies unanimously advise not to delay the decision any longer, especially if there is a specific destination in mind. Last-minute inquiries often find only more expensive, less favorable packages or flights, potentially adding hundreds of dirhams to the trip's total cost.

It's not uncommon for the last spots to be sold out in a single day, especially if it's a popular period or destination. So, if someone wants to secure their travel opportunity, they need to act now.

Summary

The UAE National Day is not only a worthy celebration of the emirates' founding but also an opportunity for residents to rest, travel, and discover new places. However, due to limited availability, increasing demand, and rising package prices, timing is particularly important now. Those who don't want to pay unnecessarily more should decide immediately – otherwise, they might end up digging 1,500 dirhams deeper into their pockets. Experience shows that early booking is now truly crucial if someone wants to enjoy the holiday break without compromises.
