In this post, explore all the travel-related aspects of both of these travel gems and also get a perfect 10-day holiday plan suggestion.

Is There Any Best Time to Visit Dubai or Maldives?

The rule is, that there is no such best time to visit any place. It solely depends on the budget and individual needs of the travellers. However, to avoid the severe heat conditions in Dubai, one can consider visiting it during November-April tenure when the temperatures are quite comfortable, ranging from 20 to 30°C (68 to 86°F).

While, in Maldives, it is the dry season most of the time. To avoid it, one should avoid planning Dubai and Maldives holidays from May to September, when it is extremely hot in Dubai and Maldives also witnesses its monsoon season.

Travel Logistics & Transportation

Planning a trip to these places is not an uphill task. There are many major airlines across the globe that offer direct flights to Dubai, with the Emirates Airlines being the most famous one. It is quite easy to catch a flight from Dubai to Male, the capital of Maldives. The overall flight duration is a total of 4 hours. Some airlines offer regular services for both of these destinations such as Emirates and Flydubai.

When it comes to transportation in both of these places, in Dubai you are going to easily find a lot of options to travel easily within the city. The metro system here is much more efficient, allowing easy transport to all the major city attractions and shopping areas.

In case you want to book any taxi or ride-hailing services, these are readily available. Also, if you want to rent a car, you need to provide an international driving license, and you are all set to travel in your private car here. Whereas, in the Maldives, you need transfers from Male to your resort first via a seaplane or speedboat, as most of the resorts here are present on private islands.

Suggested Itinerary for Dubai & Maldives

In this plan, we are going to allot five days to each destination, with a total of 10 days. First, you are going to land in Dubai and spend 5 best days here, exploring around. Then, you are suggested to spend the next five days in the Maldives and explore the beautiful beach life and serenity there.

Dubai (Day 1-5)

Congratulations, you have successfully landed in Dubai as per the plan. The first day can involve checking in to your desired hotel, visiting the iconic Dubai Mall, and exploring its amazing attractions. It is said about Dubai Mall that a single day is not enough to explore the entire mall as it is considered the world’s largest mall.

You can ascend to the top of Burj Khalifa, the world’s largest building, where you can enjoy the panoramic views of the city. We think it’s enough for the day one. You can now sleep in peace and wait for the next day.

The second day can be dedicated to exploring Old Dubai and its culture, visiting the Dubai Museum, taking an abra ride across the Dubai Creek, and strolling around through the gold and spice souks, the city is famous for.

On the third day, you can plan a trip to the desert safari in the morning and try out dune bashing, sandboarding, and camel riding there. In the evening, you can enjoy a dhow cruise dinner with your loved ones and unwind the day in style.

The fourth day can be spent visiting Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis, and relaxing at the beach while enjoying dinner at any of the famous rooftop restaurants in Dubai. Now it’s time for the final day. Consider engaging in last-minute shopping at the Mall of Emirates or try an instant refreshing session of indoor skiing at Ski Dubai.

Maldives (Day 6-10)

It’s time to pack your bags and head to the second amazing destination, that is Maldives, included in your Dubai and Maldives holiday package. On the first day, expect to transfer to the resort and enjoy the laid-back vibes in Dubai.

The next 4 days can be spent trying different fun activities such as snorkeling and diving, taking sunset cruises and dinners, trying water sports like jet skiing and kayaking, and indulging in spa treatments and fitness activities. To get more insights into the island’s culture, you can also plan an island-hopping tour and end your day on a high note with a beach barbecue dinner.

A Few Tips for Packing

When packing for your trip, keep in mind the varied environment and culture of both of these places. For Dubai, pack modest clothing for public areas, along with swimwear for beaches and pools. Keep sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen as well as comfortable shoes. Whereas, for the Maldives, light and breathable clothing is recommended. Don’t forget to pack your sunscreen, insect repellent, underwater camera, or waterproof phone case for your marine adventures. Also, keep the budget in mind. Dubai is open to various budget options from luxury to affordable ones, but Maldives is mostly about luxury and the affordable options only exist on local islands.
