Entry on an Indian passport
Two sets of rules on this trip, and both have to be sorted before you fly.
- Turkey: Embassy or consulate in advance, 30 days. An e-visa is open to holders of certain Schengen, US, UK or Irish visas.
- UAE: Embassy or consulate in advance, 14 days. Issued at the border to holders of certain US, UK or EU residence or visit visas. Usually arranged by the airline or hotel.
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 each embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.

Best for: Two empires and one skyline, on a four-hour flight
Istanbul, Cappadocia and Dubai in 9 days
Istanbul → Cappadocia → Dubai
Three days in Istanbul, two under the balloons in Cappadocia, then three in Dubai. Why the balloon is the one thing to book first and the one most likely to be cancelled, how to use the stopover the airlines already sell you, and the month this trip becomes unwalkable.
