Residents are bagging money-saving hotel deals, with discounts of up to 40 per cent on rooms and villas.
Many residents are opting for staycations instead of vacations, taking advantage of the attractive deals offered by hospitality groups in the UAE.
One such resident is Syrian expat Aiham Joratli, who enjoys going on staycations every two weeks.
Joratli said, “I have already enjoyed a few staycations this summer and plan to take a few more before my children’s schools reopen. My wife and I love to go on staycations every two weeks just to break the monotony. We’ve also lived in several different hotels across the UAE and sometimes go to a few hotels that we really like, repeatedly.”
However, Joratli also travelled with his family to London a few months ago, having booked his tickets and accommodations well in advance.
“This strategy helps me secure the best prices since we are a large family of five. For the summer, we specifically planned a few staycations. We know that international travel anywhere during summer usually costs double or triple the usual price,” said the expat who works in an automotive company.
Residents in the UAE are bagging deals on hotel stays, with discounts of up to 40% on rooms and villas, along with complimentary access to gyms, kids’ clubs, rooftop pools, and live entertainment.
“Last week, I stayed at a hotel in Dubai. Once again, I found great deals, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Staycations are really helpful in breaking the routine and we manage to catch the best prices during these months. In a fortnight we might explore another emirate,” added Joratli.
