When to go
Nov–Feb — the months this route recommends.
How long you need
Every route here runs 7 days.
What it costs
≈ AED 700 per person per day. Beds, food, getting around and things to do — costed line by line in each guide, not estimated from a daily rate.
Entry on an Indian passport
e-Visa online before you go, 30 days. An eTAS approval is needed before you travel. Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with the embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.
