Where to visit in the UK from Dubai

Whether you want to explore the UK’s incredible history or take in the best of modern-day British culture, our UK holidays from Dubai are the perfect way to experience your must-visit destinations. Here are a few of the cities you might want to include as part of your UK tour:

London

The British capital is a must-see for anyone visiting the UK from Dubai. Whether you’re more interested in sightseeing, shopping, or sampling the best of British culture, London truly has something for everyone. Explore world-famous landmarks like Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and Big Ben, take in a show on the West End, or indulge in a spot of shopping at Harrods, Liberty, or Oxford Street. And if all that sightseeing helps you work up an appetite, London’s diverse and impressive food scene ranges from authentic British pubs to Michelin-starred restaurants from the world’s top restaurateurs.

Oxford and Cambridge

No visit to the UK would be complete without visiting Oxford and Cambridge. These two cities are home to two of the world’s oldest and most prestigious universities - you can walk in the footsteps of some of history’s greatest minds while exploring the beautiful grounds of each university’s colleges. If you’re looking for a quintessentially British experience in your UK holiday from Dubai and UAE, then make sure you rent a boat to punt along the river Cam.

Durham

This historic hidden gem of a city in the North of England boasts a UNESCO world heritage site in the 11th century Durham Castle and Cathedral – seeing the cathedral’s spires rising above the city is a sight to behold. Stroll along the River Wear and soak up the city's history, or explore Durham’s charming streets lined with quaint cafes and boutiques.

York

You’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back in time in York, an ancient city known for its medieval charm and Viking heritage, which now also boasts a wide range of shopping options, from designer outlets to independent traders and markets. Wander along the twisting streets of the Shambles, visit the magnificent York Minster, and explore the Jorvik Viking Centre to uncover the city’s rich and often surprising past.

Edinburgh  

Scotland’s capital is a beautiful blend of medieval and modern culture. Alongside world-class shopping and cuisine, there’s always something to do in Edinburgh. Walk along the Royal Mile, explore Edinburgh Castle, and experience Scotland’s lively cultural scene, from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to traditional Scottish music and dance. It’s also a perfect base for exploring the beautiful Scottish highlands and other Scottish towns and cities like Glasgow and St. Andrews.

FAQs

When is the best time to visit the UK?

The UK is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on your preferences. We think a spring break holiday is a good time to visit the UK, but there’s something to recommend each season. 

• Spring (March - May) – Mild weather, blooming gardens, and fewer crowds.

• Summer (June - August) – Longer daylight hours, warmer temperatures, and lively outdoor festivals.

• Autumn (September - November) – Pretty autumnal foliage, crisp air, and cosy countryside experiences.

• Winter (December - February) – Magical Christmas markets, festive lights, and snowy landscapes in Scotland.

What’s the weather like in the UK?

The UK has a temperate climate, meaning cold to mild temperatures, and changing conditions throughout the year – and even throughout the day! Temperatures usually range from 0°C to 15°C until spring and summer arrive, bringing drier, warmer weather. It’s also usually chillier and wetter the further north you go in the United Kingdom, but the relatively mild climate means that extreme snow and cold aren’t typically a concern outside of the more northern parts of Scotland.

As mentioned, the weather is very changeable in the UK, so we’d recommend carrying an umbrella and layered clothing, as you can see rain, sun and cloud within a single day. 

What are the visa requirements for the UK for someone from the UAE?

• UAE passport holders do not need a visa for short trips (up to 6 months).

• All travellers must apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before departure. This costs £10, and is valid for two years.

• Those planning to study, work, or stay for an extended period need to apply for a specific UK visa.

• Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months

We can help assist with international visa guidance and provide the latest travel information to make your journey stress-free.

What are some important things to know about the UK as a visitor?

• Tipping: 10-15% is standard in restaurants if service is not included.

• Transport: The UK has a good public transport system. London is very well-connected with the Underground, rail and bus services. If you’re travelling elsewhere in the UK, you’ll find convenient rail networks for other cities, which all have their own public transport systems. 

• Power sockets: UK plugs are Type G (three-pronged, 230V) – these are the same as most Dubai and UAE plugs, so you shouldn’t need an adapter.

• Cultural etiquette: Politeness is important in the UK—queueing, saying “please” and “thank you” and respecting personal space are part of the cultural etiquette.
