Why It's a Deal A recent Kayak search shows the lowest round-trip airfare between New York City and Dubai starts at $882 in mid-March (United Airlines). Add to that $489 per person including taxes for five nights at the Holiday Inn Bur Dubai, and you're spending $1,371 on airfare and accommodation alone. For $128 more than that, this travel package gives you airfare and five nights in Dubai, plus several escorted tours with an English-speaking guide with an air conditioned bus, most meals, all transfers and transportation within the country, and all taxes and fees.
More Several optional tours are also available, including a half-day desert safari tour in a 4X4 vehicle for $69 per person, and a guided tour of the city of Sharjah, known as the "Pearl of the Gulf," for $38 per person.
