Emirates is offering one of its Facebook fans in Sri Lanka a chance to win an exciting visit to Dubai for two with airfare and accommodation included, to promote new Dubai stopover packages unveiled in the market recently.

Open exclusively to all Sri Lanka resident Facebook users at https://business.facebook.com/Emirates/posts/945709915538758?business_id=650791511697268, the competition invites participants to tell Emirates in 35 words or less why they want to visit Dubai.

“Make sure to start it off with ‘Fly me to Dubai on Emirates because…….’ and #HelloDubai,” the Emirates Facebook post advises.

The winner of this simple yet intensely stimulating competition is to be announced on Wednesday, 7 September on Facebook. The prize excludes taxes for the tickets and tourism fee in Dubai, which have to be borne by the winner.

“Dubai is possibly one of the most thrilling places to visit for the leisure traveller seeking unexpected experiences,” said Emirates Area Manager Sri Lanka and Maldives Chandana de Silva.

“From skiing, swimming with dolphins and dining in an underwater restaurant to driving a supercar, going on a desert safari or playing golf, there is something to suit every taste and our Stopover packages not only take the hassle out of planning a trip, they are very affordable too.”

Designed to give both transit and turnaround travellers who have confirmed and paid for a reservation with Emirates a great-value vacation in Dubai, the latest stopover packages start at just Rs. 31,900 per person twin-sharing for four days at two-star properties and at Rs. 42,000 at five-star hotels and apartments, and are valid for two adults and a child, with a child under 12 staying for free at participating hotels. The Kids Stay Free offer is available at participating hotels until 30 September.

A total of 99 hotels, resorts and apartments offering a wide range of room types are participating in the Dubai Stopover program.

Unique to the Dubai Stopover package are 24-hour check-in and check-out at all participating hotels and apartments, and a 72-hour cancellation policy – the entire package is 100% refundable, up to three days prior to arrival.

A global connector of people, places and passions, Emirates operates 34 flights a week from Colombo to Dubai and a daily flight to Singapore, linking Sri Lanka to a vast global network of 150 destinations on six continents using state-of-the-art Boeing 777 aircraft.
