Flights
Dubai International Airport (DXB) can be reached with daily non-stop flights from most major European airports.
Make sure to book your flights ASAP as they can get expensive quite quickly given the busy high season.
We suggest you pre-book a taxi from the airport to your hotel before your flight, alternatively, there is a Taxi stand located outside every terminal.
Entry Requirements
Make sure to check your visa requirements before traveling to Dubai. Citizens of the EU, UK, US, and many other countries qualify for a free visa on arrival.

1) Flying in only for the wedding? Since our main event is at the Intercontinental Fujairah, we recommend staying at the hotel for convenience and comfort.
Alternatively, you can check out Le Méridien Al Aqah Beach Resort and Fujairah Rotana Resort & Spa, which are located right around the corner.
2) Extending your stay beyond the wedding? Make the most of your trip by exploring Dubai! We suggest staying in the city to fully immerse yourself in its vibrant atmosphere. Check out our suggestions in the "Things to do in Dubai" tab.
How to get to the wedding (Fujairah):
We’ll be providing shuttles to take you from Dubai to Fujairah on the morning of Wednesday April 9th, the pre-wedding day.
Shuttles will also be available on Friday Aprill 11th to take you from Fujairah back to Dubai.
If you wish to use the shuttle, please make sure you add that option when you RSVP.
Beyond the wedding:
If you are entering the UAE with a visitor visa, we highly recommend you rent a car. It is more convenient to move around!
Dubai has so much to see, however, here are a few suggestions:
West Palm Beach: A relaxing vibrant beachfront destination with stunning views of the Marina skyline, great dining options, and plenty of spots to soak up the sun (February 30, Lucky Fish, Kyma Beach Dubai, or Surf Club).
Kite Beach: Our personal favourite spot for relaxing, doing water sports, sunbathing, and beachside fun. It’s a great place to unwind, and then have Salt Burger ;)
