UAE hotels roll out summer staycation packages for residents, GCC tourists for as low as Dh100

Dubai: As the summer heat intensifies across the UAE, hotels and resorts are offering a range of attractive staycation packages to entice residents and visitors from the GCC. While luxury leisure stays remain pricier, budget hotels are providing accommodations for as low as Dh100.

Although a significant portion of UAE residents have already begun their summer travels abroad, this initiative targets those who have chosen to stay in the country, as well as the large influx of GCC tourists from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain taking short trips to the UAE throughout the summer.
