Secure Cheap Flights to the United Arab Emirates and Book Your Next Adventure

December to February is the peak season. Expect pleasant temperatures ideal for desert safaris, beach days, and outdoor festivals across the major cities.

March and April offer warm but manageable heat. It is a great time for water sports and enjoying the last of the outdoor dining season.

June to August is very hot, but you will find the cheapest flights and luxury hotel deals. Focus on indoor activities like malls and theme parks.

September to November sees temperatures cooling down. It is the start of the event season, including the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in late November.

Brazilian citizens holding ordinary passports can enter the United Arab Emirates for tourism or business without a prior visa for up to 90 days. This reciprocal agreement simplifies travel significantly compared to other South American nations. Upon arrival at major hubs like Dubai or Abu Dhabi, your passport will be stamped with a free entry permit. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from your date of entry. While no fee is charged for this stay, always check for any updated health requirements or travel declarations before departure. This ease of access makes the UAE a top choice for Brazilians seeking luxury, desert adventures, or a stopover on the way to Asia.

The UAE is a Muslim country with deep-rooted traditions. While very modern, visitors should dress modestly in public areas like malls and traditional markets. Shoulders and knees should generally be covered to show respect. During the holy month of Ramadan, eating, drinking, or smoking in public during daylight hours is restricted, though many hotels provide screened-off dining areas for non-Muslims. Public displays of affection should be kept to a minimum as they can be considered offensive. Alcohol is served in licensed venues such as hotels and bars, but public intoxication is strictly prohibited. Understanding these nuances ensures you enjoy the local hospitality without causing accidental offense. Always ask for permission before taking photos of local people, especially women.

Navigating the UAE is efficient and safe. In Dubai, the driverless Metro system is world-class, connecting major landmarks and the airport. Taxis are plentiful, regulated, and relatively affordable compared to Brazilian cities. Ride-sharing apps like Uber and Careem are widely used and reliable. For those traveling between emirates, such as from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, air-conditioned intercity buses are available, though many travelers prefer private transfers or car rentals. The road infrastructure is excellent, but driving can be fast-paced. If you choose to drive, ensure you have an International Driving Permit. Pedestrians should always use designated crossings, as traffic laws are strictly enforced. Most signage is in both Arabic and English, making navigation straightforward for international visitors.

To eat like a local, look beyond the luxury hotel buffets. Visit the Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood or the streets of Deira for authentic Emirati dishes like Machboos, a spiced meat and rice dish, or Luqaimat, sweet dumplings drizzled with date syrup. Brazilian travelers will find the grilled meats and hummus familiar yet distinct in their spice profiles. For a unique experience, try camel milk chocolate or a traditional Arabic coffee (gahwa) served with dates. Don't miss the vibrant 'shawarma' culture found on many street corners, offering a quick and delicious meal. TICKETS.COM.BR recommends visiting the local fish markets where you can pick your catch and have it grilled on the spot for a truly fresh and authentic taste of the Arabian Gulf.
