Air Canada Vacations has launched a new Dubai guided tours program, creating further options for clients in the vibrant United Arab Emirates destination. The year-round tours are designed to feature immersive experiences while highlighting the flamboyant city’s modern architecture, luxurious lifestyle, premium shopping, and rich cultural heritage.

The new touring options compliment Air Canada’s year-round direct daily flights from Toronto and four weekly flights from Vancouver, available from Oct. 28 through March 27, 2025.

The Dubai guided tours program offers a total of 10 year-round packages with private transportation in key destinations such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Ras Al Kaimah. Featuring a variety of hand-picked durations and activities, ACV says its fully guided tours in Dubai are tailored to most travel styles, and include breakfasts as well as entrance fees when visiting monuments, along with 3 to 5-star accommodations located in key areas.

Travellers looking to extend their stay in Dubai and explore the Middle East by sea can further their vacation experience with cruises departing from Dubai with cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Azamara, Cunard, Norwegian Cruise Line, Costa Cruises, and MSC, all offered by Air Canada Vacations.
