As the heat of the Dubai summer begins to wane, an opportunity to experience the vibrant Emirate with a stopover in October, November or early December awaits passengers travelling with Emirates from Colombo to Europe, the Americas or Africa.

The award-winning airline has announced that every ticket purchased between 24 September and 3 October for travel ending on 10 December 2019 to destinations on the three continents will be entitled to free hotel accommodation for one or two nights in Dubai depending on the cabin of travel.

The amazing offer of a free stay is open to all adult fares on Economy, Business and First Class, provided the transit time in Dubai is 10 hours or more.

First and Business Class passengers will receive two nights’ accommodation at the Address Downtown or Address Dubai Mall, two of Dubai’s swankiest hotels, while Economy Class passengers will be entitled to one night’s accommodation at Rove at the Park or Rove Healthcare, with both offers on a room-only basis, the airline said.

“November and December are some of the best times to visit Dubai, especially for those seeking the thrilling outdoor experiences the city is famed for,” said Emirates’ Area Manager for Sri Lanka and Maldives, Chandana de Silva.

“The offer of free hotel accommodation during this period is a significant value addition that facilitates a chance to experience two destinations in one trip.”

The offer spans a 10-week period with the exception of the week of 15-22 November, when free hotel accommodation will not be available.

It provides for, subject to availability, one adult in single room occupancy per ticket or two adults in double room occupancy for people travelling together. One child under 12 years of age is permitted to share accommodation with parents in the same room, with existing bedding. The offer does not include Dubai visas.

One of the most dynamic hubs of entertainment and travel experiences, Dubai has a host of mega events for culture, music and sports enthusiasts during the period of the free stay offer. These include the ‘Wake Up Call’ music festival from 10-12 October; the staging of Phantom of the Opera from 16 October-6 November; ‘Insomnia’, Dubai’s largest gaming festival from October 17-19; ‘Party in the Park’ with Fatboy Slim, The Kooks and Richard Ashcroft from 31 October-2 November; One-night tribute to Aretha Franklin on 14 November; the Dubai Rugby 7s from 5-7 December and Kylie Minogue at the Dubai Rugby 7s on 6 December.

Emirates has been serving Sri Lanka since April 1986 and currently operates three flights a day from Colombo to Dubai, offering convenient connections to 158 destinations on six continents. The airline’s flight schedule is expected to increase to four flights a day from 30 November 2019.
