Emirates is giving away free stays at a 5-star hotel to passengers who book flights to Dubai, including its economy cabin.

The airline is launching a special offer where, when you book return flights to Dubai, you’ll get a free night’s stay at the seriously luxurious JW Marriott Marquis, one of the world’s tallest 5-star hotels with its own shopping gallery and spa, not to mention it boasts a handy location near key highlights such as the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall.

The offer will be valid for any return flights to Dubai booked between the 2nd and 23rd December on the Emirates website, and there’s a generous window of travel dates between the 6th December 2020 through to the 28th February 2021, so it’s ideal for those hoping to bag some winter sun.

If you’re looking for even more luxury, those who book First Class or Business Class tickets will be offered two complimentary nights.

You can also find out more about the airline’s flexible booking policy and more during the pandemic on the Emirates website here.

The deal isn’t valid for your entire stay in the city, but the good news is that there are plenty of cheap luxury hotels in Dubai you can book for the rest of your visit.

At the time of writing, the UAE is on the UK’s travel corridors list meaning that Brits won’t need to quarantine when they return to the UK.

You won’t need to quarantine when you arrive in Dubai either, but you will need to provide proof of a negative Covid-19 test.

The FCDO explains: “Travellers coming from the UK to Dubai have the option to either present a negative COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test before departure, which is valid for 96 hours from the date of the test, or to take a PCR test on arrival at Dubai airport.”

You should check the latest FCDO UAE travel advice for more information including any entry requirements and local laws/regulations that you need to be aware of.

VisitDubai also has a handy guide for tourists and what they need to know before visiting.

Travel restrictions may apply depending on the tier your local area is in.
