Emirates is rolling out a set of summer travel offers for passengers flying to or through Dubai, including complimentary hotel stays and discounts across the city as part of its seasonal travel push.

The initiative comes as Dubai continues to position itself as a year-round destination offering a mix of leisure, culture and entertainment options for visitors on both short stopovers and longer holidays.

Summer travel offers

Passengers travelling with Emirates can access seasonal benefits that include a complimentary stay at the JW Marriott Marquis Dubai, alongside discounts through the airline’s My Emirates Pass programme.

The airline said the offers are designed to encourage travellers to extend their stay in Dubai or explore the city during transit.

Hotel stay offer

Under the promotion, passengers who purchase a return ticket in First Class or Business Class can receive a two-night stay at JW Marriott Marquis Dubai, while those travelling in Premium Economy or Economy Class can receive a one-night stay.

The offer applies to return tickets to or stopovers in Dubai of more than 24 hours, for travel between 25 June and 30 September.

City experiences

Dubai continues to attract visitors with a wide range of attractions, including major landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa, theme parks, museums and interactive art spaces. The city remains one of the most visited global destinations, offering indoor and outdoor experiences throughout the summer season.

Stopover planning

Emirates customers from select markets can also use the airline’s Dubai Experience platform to plan short stays, with 24-hour and 48-hour itineraries designed to help travellers structure their stopovers.

Discounts programme

The airline’s My Emirates Pass programme returns for summer 2026, offering more than 600 deals across restaurants, spas, retail outlets and entertainment venues. Passengers can access the offers by showing their boarding pass along with valid identification at participating locations.

Customers booking after April 2, 2026, are eligible for one complimentary date change across all cabin classes. Emirates also offers its Hold My Fare service and a travel insurance product designed to support passengers during summer travel.
