City Breaks and Beach Trips Get Cheaper via flydubai
flydubai Holidays has launched limited-time break packages combining return flights and three-night hotel stays for customers departing from the UAE. Prices begin at AED 1,499 per person, with booking open until 28 January and travel permitted up to 10 March 2026. The packages cover a mix of city and beach destinations and can be purchased online or via the airline’s holiday support channels in Dubai.
The airline lists several starting fares: Yerevan (from AED 1,499), Baku (AED 1,649), Istanbul (AED 1,749), Krabi (AED 2,799), Zanzibar (AED 2,849) and the Maldives (AED 4,499). Packages include hotel accommodation and return flights, with optional paid add-ons for activities, transfers, excursions and car hire. Bookings are processed through holidays.flydubai, and through WhatsApp or telephone support.
The featured cities cover different types of short breaks. Yerevan offers museums and monasteries within a short drive of the capital, while Baku blends medieval landmarks with waterfront boulevards. Istanbul spans Europe and Asia and remains a major draw for food and architecture. Krabi, Zanzibar and the Maldives cater to beach-focussed travellers, diving and snorkelling fans, and those wanting resort-style stays during the cooler months in the Gulf.
Destinations on the List
Many of the advertised places have become easier to reach on short notice thanks to direct air links and relaxed visa policies for UAE residents. Travellers gain quick entry to:
- Armenia for mountains, monasteries and café life
- Azerbaijan for contemporary architecture and historic alleys
- Türkiye for mosques, markets and Bosphorus ferries
- Thailand for island-hopping and limestone bays
- Tanzania’s Zanzibar for spices and Stone Town
- The Maldives for marine life and resort islands
Short booking windows and bundled pricing tend to tempt those who would not normally plan a trip this early in the year. The current batch of offers may help reduce peak-season pressure by spreading travel into late winter, when airfares are usually steadier and hotels have capacity. The broader takeaway is simple: packaged long weekends are no longer aimed solely at tourists in summer, and the Gulf is using its reach to make that clear.
