Travel Insurance for Dubai

Get travel cover to suit your needs ahead of your trip to the united arab emirates  .

Dubai is located on the coastline of the UAE, and the city is known for its stunning beaches and modern architecture.

Holidaymakers can visit various shopping complexes that offer luxury items for fans of fashion, electronics and jewellery, while there are also museums, theme parks and impressive structures to explore.

Dubai’s tourism department said that the city had 15.92 million visitors during 2018, including 1.2 million travellers from the UK.

If you’re planning to visit the city, make sure that you plan ahead and get your travel insurance in place so that you are covered in case anything happens.

The UAE generally provides high quality healthcare , but without a valid travel insurance policy you could face unwanted medical bills for any treatment that you receive.

Our worldwide travel cover gives you protection during your trip, including medical expenses, cancellations and travel delays. While we also cover 150 sports and activities for free with every policy.

There is the option to get single trip cover if you are planning to go on just one holiday over the next year, while an annual multi trip policy could be the better option if you intend to go on more than one holiday over the one year period.

You can also choose to get family travel insurance  when covers you all for the trip, while an annual family policy means that you can also travel separately and still be protected. this means that you children would still be insured if they travel with friends or other family members, while you would also be covered if you go on holiday on your own.

Do I need a visa and vaccinations for a trip to Dubai?

Travellers with a British passport require a visitor’s visa , which they can get for free on arrival in the UAE. This allows you to stay in the country for up to 30 days, but for a fee you can extend the visa by another 30 days. It terminates automatically when you leave the UAE and you are issued a new one each time you arrive in the country.

You should travel with a valid passport that has at least 6 months remaining from the date of entry at the UAE.

The NHS advises that ideally you should see your GP before travelling if you have any health concerns before your trip. As with any trip you should check that you have up to date vaccines and boosters for MMR, tetanus and the flu.

Other vaccines that you might want to consider are diphtheria and hepatitis A, but you can consult your health practitioner to find out what is best for you. The Travel Health Pro website includes up-to-date health advice and recommendations from the National Travel Health Network and Centre.

Insect bites can carry various diseases in Western Asia, such as Rift Valley fever and leishmaniasis, so travellers are advised to take precautions to try to avoid insect or tick bites.

In the middle east, the respiratory syndrome coronavirus can be transmitted through contact with infected camels, and it can lead to fevers and coughs. It is advised to ensure you carry out cautious health measures, like washing hands regularly when visiting areas with camels or camel products.

Dubai travel advice and laws to be aware of

Travellers should remember that UAE is a Muslim country, and there are several laws and regulations that are different to the UK. In some cases, breaking these laws can lead to serious penalties.

Visitors to the country can get a temporary liquor licence for a maximum of one month if they want to drink alcohol in licensed venues. You can get this from one of the two official liquor distributers, and you will need to confirm you understand the rules and regulations. If you are caught drinking or under the influence on public streets, then you could be arrested.

Swearing, rude gestures and kissing in public can also lead to you being arrested, according to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and in some instances, you could be deported. Visitors are also advised to dress modestly during their visit.

It is also illegal to import pork products or pornography, while there are extreme punishments for drug related offences. Drug trafficking can result in the death penalty, while possession can lead to a prison sentence.

Sex outside of marriage is also illegal, and you are not allowed to share the same hotel room with someone of the opposite sex who you are not married to or who you are not closely related to. This rule isn’t enforced by every hotel, so it is worth checking before booking your stay. LGBTQ+ rights are suppressed in the United Arab Emirates - same-sex marriage is not recognised and homosexuality is illegal. The UAE is generally quite tolerant and respects privacy, but public affection or behaviour that is deemed to cause offence could attract police attention, and punishments have included prison, floggings and death.

When it comes to driving in the country, you can normally use your UK driving licence when you use a rented car. There is a high rate of traffic accidents compared to the UK, as the World Health Organisation reports that you are more likely to be killed on the roads, with 18.1 of every 100,000 people killed in road traffic accidents compared to 3.1 in the UK.

If you are travelling as a pedestrian, you should only cross roads with pedestrian crossings, otherwise you could face prosecution.

When you are travelling around the city you will be keen to take pictures of your holiday, but you should also avoid taking photos of strangers without their permission, unless you’re in a busy tourist location. When it comes to tipping, it isn’t usually expected, and most restaurants will automatically add a service charge to you bill.

It typically takes around seven hours to fly from London to Dubai, and the time zone for Dubai is GMT +4, which means that it is four hours ahead of the UK. The currency is the dirham, which is often abbreviated to AED or Dhs.

What is the weather like in Dubai?

Dubai is often busiest between December and February, as this is when tourism peaks and you are likely to experience long waiting times and bigger crowds. However, many people often avoid visiting during July and August when the country can be at its hottest, with temperatures above 40 degrees considered normal during this time of year.

It usually stays warm throughout the year and rainfall in Dubai is quite rare , but your best chance of experiencing rain is during the winter months. When it does rain in the city it can be quite heavy, but it usually doesn’t last very long.

Temperatures peak in July and August, and can reach as high as 40 degrees, while the coolest temperatures are between November and March, with temperatures still ranging from 20-25 degrees.

How to stay safe in the UAE

The UAE is generally a safe place to visit according to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office , with many visits from British tourists being trouble-free. This includes low crime rates, with a United Nations report showing a lower homicide rate compared to the UK. Personal attacks are also rare, but they can still happen. Tourists are advised to take usual precautions as with any holiday, keeping their valuable belongings close by and only use licensed taxis and public transport.

For sexual assault cases, UAE law often requires the victim to demonstrate proof that it wasn’t consensual. If it is then found to be consensual then both parties could be prosecuted for sex outside of marriage.

When it comes to spending time on one of Dubai’s stunning beaches, you should be vigilant of rip currents. These currents can be difficult to get out of and are potentially life threatening, especially if there are no lifeguards around. You should look out for red flags along the coastline that warn of potential dangers, and you should only look to swim at approved beaches.

Terrorist attacks do happen in the UAE and threats have been made towards the Gulf region. UK Counter Terrorism Policing has provided advice for travellers who find themselves part of a terrorist incident. Tourists are advised to stay aware of potential dangers, particularly when travelling through busy public areas.

What to do on holiday in Dubai

Dubai skyscrapers

Shopping is a popular reason for many people to travel to Dubai, and the city has several complexes that offer the chance to browse and buy luxury goods.

The Dubai Mall is one of the largest and busiest options, and it is the largest in the world in terms of the amount of land that it covered. As well as the many shops, there are also plenty of entertainment options, including an aquarium, an ice rink a cinema and a VR park. Shoppers also have a broad choice of restaurants and fast food places to enjoy, while plenty of hotels are situated nearby.

If you’re particularly keen to get the most out of your shopping experience, the Dubai Shopping Festival takes place each year in January, and you can often get discounts as high as 75% on various items.

If you are looking to enjoy a more traditional shopping experience, you can visit one of the souks that can be found at Dubai Creek. These retailers offer various jewellery and fabrics to suit all tastes.

One of the most well-known landmarks in Dubai is the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah . The sail-shaped building is a luxury hotel that is on a small island along the main coastline. It is not open to guests, but you can reserve a booking for dinner or afternoon tea if you don’t mind spending a bit more money on the experience. You can also enjoy a good view of the hotel when visiting the nearby beach.

The Burj Khalifa is another impressive structure, and it has been the tallest building in the world since construction was completed in 2009. In total it is 828m high and visitors can book tickets to go to the top of the structure to get amazing views of the city.

If you are looking to look at a tourist spot away from the large structures, the Miracle Garden provides the world’s largest floral installation, with various colourful designs to explore. The garden was first launched in 2013 and it currently has 150 million flowers that are arranged to create stunning designs and arches.

There are also plenty of museums, parks, resorts and water parks to explore. This includes various theme parks, including Legoland, Laguna Waterpark, Motiongate Dubai, and the Riverland waterside district.

Tourists can also visit the three Palm Islands – Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali and Deira Island. They are artificial islands that were first built in 2001, and work is still ongoing for two of them. They are designed in the shape of palm trees, and they include leisure centres and various forms of entertainment for tourists.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Am i covered for off piste and without a guide.

You’ll be covered for skiing and snowboarding both on and off piste provided you stay within resort boundaries. You don’t need to be accompanied by a guide.

Why do I need a winter sports policy?

If you’re planning to take part in any winter sports on your trip, you’ll need extra cover to insure you whilst you’re participating in winter sports activities. This extends the policy to cover you whilst you’re skiing or snowboarding – including emergency medical expenses cover if you suffer an injury. It also includes useful extras, like cover for your skiing or snowboarding kit (whether it’s owned or hired), piste closure cover and more

When should I purchase my ski policy?

If you want cover for a single trip, cancellation cover starts as soon as you buy your policy – so if you’ve already put a deposit on your ski holiday or paid for your flights or hotel, it makes sense to sort your travel insurance out right away. 

If you’re considering an Annual Multi-Trip policy to cover all your travel this year, then cancellation cover starts from the start date on your policy.  So if you’ve paid for your trip, enter the policy start date as today to make sure your holiday is protected. 

Don’t forget, there’s a 14 day cooling off period from the date of receiving your policy documentation – during which you can receive a full refund, provided you haven’t already travelled.

Does my EHIC cover me for winter sports in Europe?

The European Health Insurance Card  (EHIC) currently allows UK residents to be treated in EU countries as well as Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland, on the same terms as citizens of the country they are visiting.  It doesn’t cover the cost of repatriating you back to the UK airlifts off the mountainside. 

Not all countries included in the EHIC agreement have totally free healthcare, so the Foreign and Commonwealth Office have always advised that the EHIC in no way replaces your travel insurance policy but it can help to reduce your costs.  We will remove the excess payable on any medical claim where an EHIC has been used.

Top 5 reasons to buy travel insurance

  • Lost, damaged or stolen luggage. Whatever the case, it can often be expensive to replace the contents in your case.
  • Missed trip due to illness of injury. If someone on the trip happens to get sick and you have to cancel or leave early, you could lose the full cost of the trip. Without insurance, in many cases it will be hard to get reimbursement.
  • Work gets in the way. Work can get in the way more often then we'd like to admit. Having the right travel insurance is a way to protect your trip if you have to reschedule for a work-related reason.
  • Hospital cover.  Health insurance usually will not apply in a foreign country when you are traveling. And this cost can add up depending on where you have travelled to! The right travel insurance can help cover you if disaster strikes.
  • Emergency airlifts. For more adventurous trips you may need to think about travel insurance for emergency cover. For example, if you need to be flown to airlifted from danger, helicopter transport can be a substantial cost that the right travel insurance may cover.

FAQ About Travel Insurance from the USA to the UAE

Travel insurance typically covers trip cancellation, trip interruption, lost or stolen luggage, travel delay, and emergency evacuation. Some travel insurance packages also cover medical-related incidents too. However, remember that the exact coverage depends on the insurance policy.

Yes, travel insurance is mandatory for travel to the UAE (including to Dubai). This means that as a traveller to the UAE, you must provide valid travel insurance coverage for the entire duration of your stay. If you don't arrive with travel insurance, you risk being denied entry into the UAE, or even deported in certain cases.

Yes, medical travel insurance is almost always worth it, and we recommend taking out travel insurance whenever visiting a foreign country. Taking out travel insurance will mitigate some or all of the risk of covering those costs yourself in case you need medical attention during your stay. In general, we recommend VisitorsCoverage to visitors worldwide because it offers excellent value for money and well-rounded travel and medical benefits in its large catalogue of plans.

Health insurance doesn't cover normal holiday expenses, such as coverage for missed flights and hotels, but in case you run into medical trouble while abroad, it may cover some or all of your doctor or hospital expenses while overseas. However, not all health insurance providers and plans offer coverage to customers while abroad, and that's why it's generally best to take out travel insurance whenever you travel.

Although there's overlap, health and travel insurance are not exactly the same. Health insurance covers some or all of the cost of medical expenses (e.g. emergency treatment, doctor's visits, etc.) while travel insurance covers non-medical costs that are commonly associated with traveling (e.g. coverage for missed flights, stolen or lost personal belongings, etc.).

The cost of travel insurance depends on several factors, such as the length of the trip, the destination, the age of the insured, and the level of coverage desired. On average, travel insurance can cost anywhere between 3% and 10% of the total cost of the trip.

A single-trip travel insurance policy covers a specific trip, while an annual one covers multiple trips taken within a one-year period. An annual policy may be more cost-effective for frequent tourists.

Yes, you can sometimes purchase travel insurance after starting your trip, but it is best to buy it before the trip begins to ensure maximum coverage. If you do need to buy insurance after you've started your trip, we recommend VisitorsCoverage , which offers a wide catalogue of online trip and medical insurance policies, most of which can be booked with immediate effect. Check out our guide to buying travel insurance late to learn more.

Yes, you can most certainly purchase travel insurance for a trip that has already been booked, although we recommend purchasing insurance as soon as possible aftwerwards to ensure all coverage is in place before your journey begins.

Be it a business trip or a holiday, a lot of planning goes into travellcancellationing. But sometimes, despite the research and the planning, unforeseen incidents occur on journeys that could sour the entire experience. Here is where travel insurance attains importance.

Travel insurance is essential for any traveller, providing peace of mind and protection against accidents, illnesses or other unfortunate events during a trip.

However, filing a travel insurance claim can be confusing and daunting for many people, especially those who are not familiar with the process. In this article, we’ll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to claim travel insurance in the UAE, making it easier for you to navigate through the process and get the reimbursement that you deserve.

What to consider when choosing a travel insurance policy

There are multiple types of travel insurance policies that you could avail of, depending on your priorities and requirements. Some policies have trip cancellation as their focus, whereas some others focus on baggage and personal effects coverage. With the advent of Covid, nowadays, there are extensive short-term and long-term medical coverage policies that will cover all the related medical expenses, including tests, quarantine costs, etc. If you’re an adrenaline junkie who loves adventure sports, purchasing Hazardous Sports travel insurance for yourself could be hugely beneficial.

Another thing to consider while opting for a policy is the kind of flier you are. Some insurance policies only cover the duration of the trip, whereas if you’re a frequent flier, you could choose a policy that extends its coverage for multiple trips a year.

Making a claim in the UAE can be a relatively simple and straightforward process. However, it’s important to note that each insurance provider may have slightly different policies and procedures, so it’s always a good idea to familiarise yourself with your policy's specific terms and conditions before you travel.

Step 1: Gather your documents

The first step to claiming travel insurance in the UAE is to gather all necessary documents. These include your policy copy, relevant receipts, medical reports in case of hospitalisation/medical treatment during the trip, police reports for theft or burglary etc. In short, all documents that prove your claim. While on a trip, be particularly careful to organise all such documents in a safe, central location. You will never know when you might need to make a claim and it's always better to be prepared and systematic.

Step 2: Contact your insurance provider

In the UAE, there are multiple insurance companies that provide policies with small to very large premiums, while coverage periods range anywhere between 10 days and 365 days. Contact your insurance provider and inform them of the situation. As there are different policy types in the market, some policies might have a deadline until the final day of travel. Some annual policies might also provide emergency medical coverage for multiple trips a year.

This can be done through its website, call, email and even through WhatsApp. Provide your policy number, the date of the incident, and a detailed description of what happened. Your insurance provider will then guide you through the rest of the claims process.

Step 3: Fill out the claim form

Your insurance provider will give you a claim form that needs to be filled out. This form will require you to provide information about the incident, the costs incurred due to it, and any other relevant information that the insurance company may need. Make sure you fill out the form accurately and truthfully, and double-check all the information before submitting it.

Step 4: Submit the claim form and supporting documents

Once you have filled out the claim form, you will need to submit it to your insurance provider along with the supporting documents. This can be done through the company’s website or by email. Again, include all necessary documents.

Step 5: Wait for the claims process to be completed

After submission, you will need to wait for the claims process to be completed. This can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the nature of the incident and the insurance company’s policies. During this time, you may be contacted by your insurance provider to provide additional information or to clarify any details about your claim.

Step 6: Claim reimbursement

If your claim is approved, you will receive the payment from your insurance provider. This payment will be made according to the terms of your policy and may be sent directly to you in cash settlement or bank transfer or to the healthcare provider, airline, or other service providers, depending on the nature of your claim.

Many find the idea of travel insurance unnecessary, but working out the basic steps of filing a claim can not only save you a significant amount, but it can also become a safety blanket and take away the usual stress and hassle that comes with flying. Happy travels!
