Summer in the UAE can be rough. It’s hot, it’s humid, and many friends are jetting off overseas to fabulous destinations. 

But fear not if you have used up all your annual leave, staycations are here to help you get outta town for a bit, without costing you too much time or money. 

1. Summer deals

Now is the time to splash out on the uber fancy properties, because summer deals are epic and you can save some serious cash. 

Fairmont Bab Al Bahr in Abu Dhabi is offering 50% off, Atlantis The Palm is offering savings of around 40% off and there are loads more going.

2. No travel time

If you’ve run out of annual leave, booking up huge trips abroad, a staycation is a short and sweet. You don’t need to trek to the airport just to sit in a five-star hotel, hit up one here! 

That means more time on the beach. 

3. The UAE has some of the best resorts out there

Seriously, world class facilities, never-ending sunshine and endless beaches, why wouldn’t you?

Dubai

4. You’ll be all relaxed and chill 

You deserve to get away from the house, and let’s face it, you’ll end up opening that laptop to do a bit of work if you’re at home, or end up doing house work.

Get away from everything and switch off, even if it’s just for one night. 

Plus you can explore some of the UAE that you may never have seen before. There is so much more to the UAE than just Dubai! 

5. It’s bloody hot 

You know it, we know it – everybody knows it. But a staycation means you can make the most of summer by frolicking in a chilled pool, enjoying hotel AC and sipping on cool drinks. 

6. There are other people to clean up after you 

Don’t make the bed, jump on it! Don’t vacuum, don’t cook, don’t do the dishes. Let the hotel take care of you. You deserve it. 

7. You can make everyone totally jealous with amazing photos 

Make sure to get your #HotDogsOrLegs shot of your knees in front of a beautiful beach in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah or Fujairah.

Go on! You deserve it.
