Imagine being told that Emirates would pay for you to get a swanky hotel in Dubai for two nights – entirely for free.

It might sound like a dream, but that’s exactly what the airline is offering between Monday July 1 and Sunday July 21.

Jumping in on the Dubai Summer Surprises action, travellers who purchase an Emirates economy return ticket to or through Dubai will be able to enjoy a complimentary one-night stay at a 5-star hotel for a good night’s sleep.

Passengers who book a return business or first class ticket will be eligible for a complimentary two-night stay.

Putting you up at the swish JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai, you’ll get to see the sights and enjoy what the city has to offer before heading back to the world’s tallest 5-star hotel that looks over the Dubai Canal.

Home to more than 12 restaurants, bars and lounges, guests can also checkout the hotel’s Saray Spa facilities during their stay.

The offer is valid on all return tickets to or stopping over in Dubai for more than 24 hours, for customers flying between Thursday July 4 and Sunday September 15 2024.

You can redeem the offer on Emirates website, the Emirates app or at Emirates ticketing centres or participating travel agents, made in at least 96 hours of the passengers arrival in Dubai.

Once tickets have been issued, passengers simply need to email EmiratesOffer@emirates.com with passenger details to confirm their stay at the JW Marriot Marquis Hotel Dubai.

Speaking about the incredible deal, Adnan Kazim, Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, Emirates Airline said: “Visitors to Dubai are really spoilt for choice in the summer.

“With the city’s annual entertainment and shopping festival, Dubai Summer Surprises underway, shoppers and tourists will get to experience an endless array of activities and attractions.

“As an added incentive, Emirates is providing complimentary hotel stays for customers traveling to and through Dubai, giving travellers another reason to visit our home city, whether for the first time or on repeat.”

Emirates has also been treating its employees just as much as passengers this summer, after the airline announced a pay rise and other job perks this week.

In addition, the first destinations to be served by the refurbished Emirates Boeing 777’s have now been announced, with Geneva, Tokyo Haneda and Brussels all about to experience the swish new layout and interiors.

If you’re taking up Emirates on its offer, there’s an endless mix of things to do in Dubai. Even during the summer months, you can still nip outside at certain times, or be entertained indoors with everything from video game go-karting to fine dining at some of the city’s top spots for less.

During the hotter months you can feast and boogie at some of the best indoor brunches, try a ladies night deal or get three courses for under Dhs200 at a business lunch.

For those who are seeking a little more history and culture, there are some great ways to see the city and learn it’s stories out the way of the midday sun.

Or if all you want is to float in the pool and catch a few rays, there’s some redeemable pool days you need to know about too.
