Haven't you booked a vacation package yet? As the much-anticipated Eid Al Adha holidays approach, travellers still looking to book a getaway are finding that deals are scarce and prices are exorbitant. However, some attractive options are still available for those quick to act.
The travel agencies are left with only limited packages for travellers who are booking last-minute plans and booking. For instance, there are packages for Georgia that start at Dh1,477. This budget-friendly option is a must-try for those who can secure affordable flights separately. This package is also great for those who prefer to handle their travel arrangements.
"Our packages to Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan are fully booked. However, we have a limited number of packages excluding air travel," said Vishnu Gopal, travel consultant at WalksofDubai. "We had kept aside a limited number of packages for last-minute booking. The high demand is driven by residents eager to take advantage of the long holiday weekend, which begins on Saturday," added Vishnu.
Many agencies offer travel packages to Caucasian countries, starting at Dh2,699, including air tickets, amenities, and excursions. "Travel to Caucasian countries from the UAE is extremely popular, and most are nearly fully booked with only limited seats remaining," said Ahmed from Best Travel Agency.
Travelers who want to explore Armenia can avail of a package that starts at Dh3,150. Meanwhile, if one is travelling to Azerbaijan this Eid holiday, it will cost a minimum of Dh2,830.
"The scheduled date for travel is from June 16 to June 19," added Ahmed.
Industry executives advise residents to act swiftly if they are still searching for a holiday deal. "Availability is diminishing rapidly, and prices are expected to climb as the departure date nears. We have a limited number of seats for Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan starting at Dh2,299, which includes everything," said Libin Varghese, sales head at Rooh Tourism.
"We also have limited seats for travel to Salalah during the Eid Al Adha holidays. The trip will be by bus for four days. Because of the Khareef season, the place is highly in demand," added Varghese.
Travel experts have suggested checking with multiple agencies and maintaining flexibility in travel dates and destinations to improve the chances of finding an open package.
"Many agencies have reserved packages for many destinations, and it is good to compare their prices and reviews on Google," said Deepak Kaushik, operations head of Tours on Board. Later on, he added. "We have minimal package available for travel on June 14 and 15."
On the travel website Holiday Factory, most packages are shown as sold out, but a limited number of packages are available during the long weekend. Packages to Turkey start at Dh1,999, Georgia at Dh3,199 and Maldives at Dh3,899, with departures on June 14.
