4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Dubai

Don't miss the chance to venture into the desert for an unforgettable adventure or take a leisurely boating tour along the river, all while ensuring great value for money on your holiday.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Dubai, start by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates as your travel date approaches. Additionally, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you seize opportunities to save. The Smart Shopping tool in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you make informed choices. With these strategies, you'll be better positioned to catch good deals and enjoy a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the season, so being flexible with your travel dates might allow you to save on your stay at a hotel in Dubai. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your selected dates is above or below the average.
