About

Travel plans that start with your passport, not someone else's.

Most itineraries online are written for people who can go anywhere. If you hold an Indian passport and live in the UAE, half that advice quietly doesn't apply — the visa rules are different, the flight routes are different, and the "cheap weekend break" often isn't.

What this site is

The Itinerary Wala is a small, growing library of day-by-day itineraries for families flying out of the UAE on Indian passports. Every plan states the visa position up front, keeps the daily pace realistic for young children, and links the hotels and tours it actually recommends so you can book them without going hunting.

Right now there are 2 countries covered, with more added as they're researched properly. Nothing goes up as a placeholder.

How each itinerary gets built

  1. Check the passport, not the postcard

    Every plan starts with the visa rule for an Indian passport held by a UAE resident — visa-free, visa on arrival, or e-visa — because that's what decides whether a trip is actually bookable this month.

  2. Build the days around the kids

    Drives get capped at roughly two hours. Big sights land before lunch. Nothing on the plan assumes a child will happily queue for an hour, because no child does.

  3. Price it in real numbers

    Budgets are per person, in dirhams, based on mid-range hotels and the tours actually linked on the page — not a range wide enough to be useless.

How it pays for itself

Some of the booking links are affiliate links. If you book through one, this site earns a small commission and you pay exactly the same price. That's the whole business model — there's no paid placement, and a hotel can't buy its way onto a plan.

One honest caveat

Visa rules change, sometimes with very little notice, and they can depend on your specific residence status. Everything here is checked when it's written and dated on the page, but please confirm with the embassy or your airline before you book anything expensive.
