  • Dubai & Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

  • Convenient Turkish Airlines flights

  • 5-star hotels in Abu Dhabi & Dubai

For the end of this year Expat Club organises a grandiose New Year’s trip to welcome 2023 in one of the world’s most exciting cities: Dubai. This city is always spectacular, but with New Year’s Eve it transfers into The Place To Be with gigantic fireworks shows. During this 8-day trip we discover all the highlights, including the 830m high Burj Khalifa, the super-de-luxe Burj al-Arab hotel, the Jumeirah Palm Island, Dubai Creek, the Old Town with the gold and spice souks, the famous mega shopping malls with large indoor ski slopes and ice rinks, the endless deserts and gold sandy beaches…. and so much more. On top of that we visit the other key Emirate of Abu Dhabi, a city well worth visiting, and known for its spectacular Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Ferrari World, the Formula 1 circuit, and the UAE Presidential Palace. A trip you can only dream about… in superb 5* hotel(s) with exquisite large rooms at excellent locations.

NOW OPEN FOR PRE-RESERVATIONS

Overview

What is the trip fee?

The regular price of this trip will be €2745, with an early bird fee of €2545. Booking early is thus highly advised, also because the price of the flights may unexpectedly rise. This price is based on 2 people sharing a room (double or twin, single room surcharge is €445). Since we have only limited spots, pre-reserving is essential, especially because the flight seats may go up once we’re out often. This is for free and comes without obligation. It allows you to book as soon as we can fully confirm this trip and thus prevent additional airfare increases. It also allows you to book with a discount of €50 (making it €2495). The Christmas – New Year period is the most expensive period of the year, but also the most exciting with the massive fireworks shows at the Burj Khalifa and the Expo. And let’s not forget absolutely perfect weather for Dubai when it’s sheer misery in Belgium! You’ll be coming back rejuvenated!

What is included in the trip fee?

This should be the trip of a lifetime for you to fully enjoy. Therefore we offer a great package with the basic things arranged for, including flights, hotels, guided group tours and entrance fees.
