Emirates launches summer offers with free luxury hotel stays and exclusive Dubai discounts

Emirates has unveiled a series of summer travel offers aimed at encouraging passengers to make the most of a holiday or stopover in Dubai, including complimentary stays at the five-star JW Marriott Marquis and access to hundreds of exclusive discounts across the city. 

The airline said the offers are designed to give travellers added value, whether Dubai is their final destination or a stopover en route to another city.

Dubai continues to position itself as a year-round destination, offering a diverse mix of experiences that cater to families, leisure travellers and adventure seekers alike. Visitors can explore globally recognised attractions such as the Burj Khalifa, enjoy indoor theme parks and interactive museums, or spend time at art galleries and cultural venues while escaping the summer heat.

The city remains one of the world's most visited destinations, known for its hospitality, safety and wide range of entertainment, shopping and dining experiences.

Adnan Kazim, Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, Emirates, said “Whether visitors are seeking relaxation, adventure, entertainment, or a combination of all three, Dubai is the ideal start to any summer vacation. We’re inviting passengers to enjoy even more of the city with a complimentary hotel stay to take advantage of the exceptional range of shopping, entertainment, dining and family-friendly experiences that define the Dubai summer experience, when stopping over as part of your journey or visiting Dubai as your final destination.”

As part of the promotion, Emirates customers can enjoy a complimentary stay at the JW Marriott Marquis Dubai, located in the heart of the city.

The luxury hotel offers guests access to award-winning restaurants and bars, the Saray Spa wellness centre, a fully equipped gym, the BodyBase reformer-based fitness studio and an outdoor swimming pool overlooking Dubai's skyline.

The offer is available for bookings made between 22 June and 12 July.

Passengers purchasing Emirates return tickets in First Class or Business Class will receive a complimentary two-night stay, while travellers flying in Premium Economy or Economy Class will receive a one-night stay.

The promotion applies to return journeys to Dubai or stopovers lasting more than 24 hours for customers travelling between 25 June and 30 September.

Passengers can also take advantage of Emirates' Dubai Experience platform, which offers personalised 24-hour and 48-hour itineraries designed around different travel preferences.

The itineraries allow visitors to maximise shorter stopovers by combining sightseeing, dining, shopping and entertainment activities.

Emirates is also bringing back its popular My Emirates Pass for summer 2026.

The programme gives passengers access to more than 600 offers across Dubai by simply presenting a physical or digital Emirates boarding pass alongside valid identification.

The discounts cover restaurants, spas, shopping outlets and a wide range of attractions across the city.

Dubai Summer Surprises, now in its 28th year, will run from 2 July to 30 August 2026.

Residents and visitors can expect an expanded calendar of events, including the Beat the Heat DXB concert series, cultural programmes, wellness activities and major retail promotions across shopping centres and lifestyle destinations.

Emirates currently operates one daily flight between Dubai and Lagos, providing Nigerian travellers access to more than 138 destinations worldwide.

The airline also highlighted its flexible booking policy, which allows customers to make one complimentary date change on bookings made after 2 April 2026 across all cabin classes. Travellers can also use the Hold My Fare option to secure ticket prices while finalising their holiday plans.
