Do I need a visa?
If you’re travelling on a British Citizen passport, you can get a visitor’s visa on arrival in the UAE. This visa allows visitors to stay in the UAE for up to 30 days. The visa terminates automatically on departure and a new visa is issued on arrival each time the visitor returns to the UAE.
Ramadan is estimated to be from 10th March - 8th April 2024. Visiting during this period offers a fascinating insight into Emirati culture and religious traditions.
