7 Tour Agencies for the Best Vacation Packages from Dubai
Planning for a vacation can be admittedly stressful with all the documents and itineraries you have to prepare.
If you don’t have a knack for it, don’t worry, because there are a lot of travel agencies that can help you find the best vacation packages from Dubai to any destination you can think of.
In this article, we listed our picks of travel agencies and answered some questions about the cost of vacation packages. We also assessed what to consider when picking a travel agency for your vacation.
How much do vacation packages in Dubai usually cost?
There’s no set price for vacation packages because it will depend on the travel agency you choose, your planned location, the length of your tour, activities, among other things.
Still, to give you an overview, the probable cost can range from 350 AED-3000 AED for a tour package that will last for a few days.
This is just a guide, however, as the price for the tour will really depend on the travel agency you pick and the promos they have. So, make sure to look into that first before deciding on a tour package.
Top Tour Agencies for Vacation Packages in Dubai
We assessed the agencies based on the following criteria:
1. Amani Travel & Tourism
1. ACCESSIBILITY | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
1.1 Operating Hours | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
1.2 Responsiveness | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
2. EASE OF SERVICE | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
2.1 Professionalism | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
2.2 Efficiency | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
3. AFFORDABILITY | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
4. CLIENT SATISFACTION | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
Established in 2014, Amani Travel & Tourism may be a little younger compared to other travel agencies in this list. Still, we think they deserve a mention for their established clientele and highly effective services.
What we like about them the most is how versatile their services are. Not only do they offer tour packages to different countries, but they also help you with visas, arrange your pickup, accommodation, transfer, and even connect you to limo services if you need them.
They’re a one-stop shop for all your needs when you travel. In particular, a lot of their previous clients praise how fast and efficient they are in processing visas.
So if that’s something that you need for your trip, they’re a strong choice. Based on our experience and client feedback, they’re very efficient and give frequent updates.
Overall it was a very smooth transaction until the end because even payment can be done online, making it a very convenient experience.
We also think they have reasonable rates. We listed down their current available tour packages along with the prices for your reference:
Package | Number of Days | Price in AED |
Dubai Shopping Festival | 6 | 799 AED |
Himalayas & Kathmandu | 6 | 599 AED |
Alaska by Land & Sea | 4 | 479 AED |

- Dubai
- India

Their choices for destinations are a bit limited compared to their competitors, which we think is something to consider with this agency. If you’re looking for an agency with more and more varied destinations, it might be best to look elsewhere.

Pros
- Versatile services
- Reasonable rates
- Responsive on their communication channels

City One Tourism & Travel. L.L.C is an UAE-based travel agency with headquarters in Dubai. We included them for their comprehensive travel programs that they offer to corporate and individual clients and their wide range of travel destinations.
They offer tours to over 30 different locations spanning across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. Some of the top locations are Morocco, Maldives, Russia, Philippines, and Spain.

So if you’re on a tight budget for your trip, it might be best to check elsewhere.

Pros
- Lots of travel destinations
- Hands-on with services

They also have affordable tours that include flights, hotel accommodation, travel insurance, city tours, and transportation to and from the airport. They have tour packages for Ukraine, Georgia, Baku, Azerbaijan, Russia, and Armenia.
They have a pretty limited list of travel destinations, however, So that’s something to consider with this agency.
Still, we included them because of their customer-centric approach, attention to details, professionalism, and helpfulness.
They’re very reachable on Whatsapp, but they’re inactive on social media. This makes it inconvenient to learn about their promos and services.

Cons
- Inconsistent operating hours

Established in 1994, AFC Holidays have been around for quite some time. With over 5 branches available and over 245,000 happy customers, they have a strong reputation as a reliable and effective travel agency in Dubai.
They’re a multi-awarded agency recognized for their service through the years. Their latest awards are Best Group Holiday Package Specialist for Dubai by the Mea Markets UAE Business Awards 2021 and International Travel Award’s Best Group Travel Company in UAE in 2021.
What we like most about them is how easy it is to create a customized tour for your needs and budget. They have consultants you can coordinate with to create the perfect itinerary for your trip.
If you prefer set tours, they also have plenty available. Check out their current available tour locations:
- USA
- Italy
- Spain
- UK
- Turkey
- Russia
- Africa
- Germany
- Greece
However they don’t seem to offer any tours to Asia on their website. So if that’s what you’re after, it might be best to check out other agencies.
Still, we’re amazed at the range of their tours, they have packages depending on your budget. Aside from tours, they also process visas.
However this does not seem to be their main focus, in our opinion. They seem to really specialize in arranging their tours.
Based on our experience, working with them is so convenient and hassle-free. They’re very professional and friendly, it made the whole process easy.
They’re very responsive on Whatsapp and on social media, so they’re reachable and accessible when you need them or if you have any questions.

Very responsive and assisted us from the start and end of the journey
AFC holidays have great tours to offer. I recently went on a customized tour package through AFC to Jordan assisted by Neenu (travel consultant). She was very responsive and assisted us from the start and end of the journey. The entire trip was planned perfectly including our hotels and personal travel guide during our stay in Jordan. Please look up for Neenu in AFC for assistance! -Dona Mathias
Managed to get everything done for us in such little time
Despite planning my trip to Armenia in just 3 days prior to the travel date, David was very positive about everything and very helpful. He responded to everything I was worried about and keeping in mind the peak season of vacation, he managed to get everything done for us in such little time. The hotel provided for our stay was very decent & clean and in a prime location. Good itinerary which covered 85% of the main attractions in just 3 days. Don’t have to worry about anything starting from airport transfers to PCR tests to visa applications. Everything was made so convenient for us. Loved the experience. Tour guide was very friendly, caring and jolly all the time. The group of people I travelled with was very cooperative, helping, happy and friendly. -Simona Bora

We find their platform to be intuitive and convenient to use. Aside from their tours, they can also assist with visa processing, hotel and flight booking, arranging tours, airport assistance, transfers, and even prepare a destination guide for their clients.
Based on our experience and poll of their previous customers, they have fast and reliable service. They also have excellent customer service and are very hands-on in arranging details for the tours.
They’re very responsive and accessible even on social media, where they post any promos they may have.
However, since they’re a huge company, it might take time to get a hold of them. We suggest going to their physical site to inquire personally.
