Who is travelling now?

With a long weekend on the horizon, some UAE residents, especially those who haven’t travelled during the summer, are planning quick getaways during the upcoming long weekend. Travel agencies are witnessing an increased interest in visa-free destinations that offer a blend of adventure, culture, and relaxation.

Even though travel demand is generally lower this time of year, due to schools reopening and residents recovering from post-travel blues, some individuals, especially those without children, are considering a quick getaway, according to travel agents.

According to Afi Ahmed, Chairman of Smart Travels, many residents are still recovering from the last long holiday and have other personal commitments. He said that while flight prices have dropped since the school holidays ended, many travellers are opting for domestic getaways or driving to nearby destinations.

“One of the hottest destinations at the moment is Salalah, Oman. This is the last weekend of the Khareef season, and that is pulling in a lot of demand,” Ahmed added.
