Before you book
- Compare the total price, not the nightly headline: check whether VAT and the hotel's own service charges are included.
- Dubai's Tourism Dirham fee (AED 7 to 20 per room per night, depending on the hotel's category, for up to 30 nights) is usually paid at the hotel.
- Note the free-cancellation deadline and which time zone it uses (Dubai is GMT+4).
- Bring your passport or Emirates ID for check-in; many hotels also place a refundable deposit hold on a card.
- Ask about early check-in or late check-out before you travel if your flight lands early or leaves late.
