Dubai: Travellers booking eligible return trips to Dubai with Emirates can receive complimentary attraction passes worth Dh535, including entry to Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark, Lost World Aquarium and a Dubai City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus tour.

The offer applies across all cabin classes on eligible return tickets purchased between September 21 and October 11, 2026, for travel between September 24 and December 13, 2026.

The package forms part of Emirates’ winter campaign for Dubai, giving visitors access to three attractions while also linking them to additional discounts and travel benefits during their stay.

What travellers get for free

The Dh535 bundle includes access to Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark, Lost World Aquarium and the Dubai City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus service.

The bus tour gives visitors the option to travel between major landmarks including Burj Khalifa and the historic Al Fahidi district at their own pace.

Terms and conditions apply, with exclusions on some points of origin, and tickets must be purchased during the stated sale period to qualify.

More discounts through My Emirates Pass

Passengers can also use My Emirates Pass to access discounts at participating stores, restaurants, spas, venues and other outlets across the UAE.

Customers need to present a physical or digital Emirates boarding pass together with valid identification at participating venues.

The programme operates throughout the year, with additional seasonal offers available during selected periods.

Hotels, dining and activities in one itinerary

Visitors can also use Dubai Experience to book hotels, restaurants, attractions, excursions and tours at preferential rates.

The platform allows travellers to build customised itineraries from hundreds of activities offered across different budgets.

More flexibility if plans change

Emirates said passengers travelling to Dubai can make unlimited free date changes across all cabin classes, although fare differences may still apply.

Customers can also hold a fare free of charge for 24 hours and benefit from reduced refund fees.

Travellers in 27 countries can add Emirates’ Comprehensive Travel Cover when booking or later through Manage Your Booking.

The cover includes unlimited worldwide medical expenses, emergency evacuation, trip cancellation and protection for baggage delays or loss.

It also includes conflict cover, with medical expenses reimbursed up to $25,000 and a free trip extension of up to 30 days, according to Emirates.

Skywards members get additional benefits
