Question 1

Do I need a visa for Dubai from India?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Indian passport holders need a valid UAE tourist visa before travel. Shalom Tours includes a standard 30-day single-entry tourist visa in this Dubai package from Delhi. Processing typically takes 3–5 working days once we receive a clear passport scan (minimum six months validity), a recent passport-size photograph and a completed application form. Visa fees are bundled into your package price so there are no surprise add-ons at the last minute. We track every application and notify you the moment your e-visa is approved. If you hold a valid US, UK, Schengen or other eligible visa stamp, different rules may apply — our team verifies eligibility before filing. We have processed over 12,300 visas and maintain a high approval rate when documents are submitted correctly.

Question 2

What's the best month to visit Dubai from Delhi?

Accepted Answer

October through March is the sweet spot for a 5 day Dubai trip from India. Daytime temperatures stay between 22°C and 32°C — comfortable for desert safaris, city tours and outdoor dining. December and January are peak season with higher hotel rates and fuller attractions, so book early if you want those dates. April and May are still manageable with early-morning sightseeing, but afternoons can feel hot. June to September is summer: expect 40°C+ heat and humidity, though hotels and malls are heavily air-conditioned and prices drop. Ramadan dates shift each year — restaurants may have adjusted hours, but cultural experiences are rich. Shalom advises your ideal travel month based on school holidays, budget and how much heat your group tolerates.

Question 3

Is desert safari included in the base price?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a full desert safari with BBQ dinner is included in the base ₹45,000 per person price (twin sharing). Day 2 covers shared 4×4 dune bashing in the Lahbab or Al Awir desert, sandboarding, a short camel ride, sunset photography stops and entry to a Bedouin-style camp. Your package includes the BBQ dinner buffet, unlimited soft drinks and live entertainment such as belly dance and Tanoura shows. Shared transfers from your hotel are part of the itinerary. Private safaris, quad biking, dune buggy rides and premium camps are optional upgrades we can quote separately. We only work with DTCM-licensed operators and confirm your pickup window the evening before. This is one of the most-requested inclusions in our Dubai holiday package from India — and it is not an extra charge in this plan.

Question 4

Can I extend to Abu Dhabi or Sharjah from this package?

Accepted Answer

Abu Dhabi is already built into this itinerary on Day 4 — Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Heritage Village, Corniche drive, Ferrari World photo stop and Emirates Palace viewing are all covered with return transfers to your Dubai hotel the same evening. If you want more time in Abu Dhabi, we can swap a leisure day for an overnight stay or add a second Abu Dhabi excursion (Warner Bros World, Louvre Abu Dhabi or Yas Marina). Sharjah is 20–30 minutes from Dubai and works well as a half-day add-on for the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilisation, Al Noor Island or the Blue Souk — ideal for culture-focused travellers. Sharjah extensions are customised quotes because they change hotel nights and transport. Tell us your interests when you enquire and we will reshape the Dubai itinerary 6 days plan without losing the highlights you booked for.

Question 5

What's the alcohol/cultural etiquette I should know?

Accepted Answer

The UAE is modern and welcoming, but respectful behaviour is expected. Dress modestly at mosques and government buildings — shoulders and knees covered; women may need a headscarf at Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque (scarves are available on site). Alcohol is served in licensed hotel bars, restaurants and clubs, but public drunkenness and drinking in public places outside licensed venues is illegal. During Ramadan, eating, drinking or smoking in public during daylight hours is prohibited — many hotels still serve food in designated areas. Photography of people — especially women and government/military sites — requires permission. Public displays of affection should be minimal. Friday is the holy day; some attractions open later. Shalom briefs every group before departure so you feel confident, not confused, throughout your Dubai package Delhi departure.

Question 6

How much spending money should I carry for Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Budget roughly AED 150–250 per person per day for lunches, snacks, souvenirs and optional extras not covered in the package. The UAE dirham (AED) is pegged to the US dollar; Indian rupees are not accepted — exchange at the airport, malls or use ATMs (inform your bank before travel). Credit and debit cards work almost everywhere. Lunches on this plan are on your own except where dinner is included (dhow cruise and desert safari BBQ). Expect AED 40–80 for a mid-range lunch, AED 15–30 for metro or taxi hops within the city and AED 50–150 for optional add-ons like Dubai Frame or extra mall activities. Keep small notes for tips — AED 5–10 for bell staff, AED 20–50 for your driver or guide if you wish. Tourism Dirham fee (~AED 20 per room per night) is payable at checkout and not included in the package.

Question 7

Can I customise this itinerary?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — this page describes our most popular fixed Dubai tour package 5 nights 6 days from Delhi, but Shalom specialises in tailoring. Swap Burj Khalifa Level 124 for At The Top SKY Level 148, upgrade to a 5-star hotel such as Sheraton Grand or Address Dubai Mall, add a Marina dhow dinner instead of Creek cruise, or insert a day at Aquaventure and The Lost Chambers. Families often request slower mornings; honeymooners may want a private desert setup with photographer. We adjust flight timings from Delhi (IGI) to match your preferred airline — IndiGo, Air India, Emirates or SpiceJet. Custom quotes are itemised so you see exactly what changed and how it affects the per-person price. Most customisations are confirmed within 24 hours of your enquiry.

Question 8

What if my visa is rejected?

Accepted Answer

Visa rejection is rare when documents are accurate and travellers have no UAE overstay or serious immigration history — but if it happens, Shalom acts immediately. We first verify whether a resubmission with corrected documents or additional proof is possible; sometimes a typo or blurred scan causes a rejection that clears on second filing. If the UAE immigration authority issues a final refusal, we refund the visa component of your payment and help you reschedule or cancel flights and hotels according to airline and hotel cancellation policies. Travel insurance with visa-denial cover is available as an add-on and is strongly recommended for peak-season bookings. We never submit applications with false information — transparency protects your long-term travel record. Our Delhi team stays reachable on WhatsApp throughout the process so you are never guessing status.
