Emirates has expanded its website with a platform that enables customers to easily browse, create and book their own customised itineraries including flights, hotel stays, visits to key attractions, and other dining and leisure experiences in Dubai and elsewhere in the UAE.
With Dubai Experience, customers can choose from pre-curated itineraries or create their own unique itineraries from scratch, pulling from an extensive list of recommended activities and dining options, or mix and match, using pre-curated itineraries as a starting point.
Whether it is one of the many popular free attractions across the UAE, or one that requires pre-booking and payment, the itinerary planner provides details such as estimated duration, location map and cost, allowing customers to confidently plan and maximise their time in Dubai and UAE.
Today, Emirates’ customers in Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, South Africa, Sudan, Switzerland, Tanzania, Uganda, USA, Zambia and Zimbabwe can build customised itineraries from a selection of over 100 hotels and 200 activities – all of which can be added onto an existing Emirates flight booking or created around a new one.
Customers who plan and book their journeys via the Dubai Experience platform can currently enjoy:
Flights: 10% savings on their new Emirates flight bookings
Hotels: Exclusive hotel benefits including discounted rates, free cancellation up to 72 hours before check-in, complimentary breakfast, and 24-hour check-in at over 100 hotels, ensuring that their room is ready no matter what time they arrive in Dubai
Activities: Discounted rates and exclusive pricing on over 200 activities
Recommendations: Over 200 top Dubai suggestions including free things to do, pay at the door options, and pre-pay attractions for complete convenience, with more listings being added all the time. Dining recommendations can also be booked directly with the restaurant and added to the bespoke itinerary
The airline plans to expand the number of countries where this service is available in the coming weeks and months.
