FAQs about Dubai December 2026 Trip

How do I make payments with your system?

Select the number of pax in the system and proceed to the checkout page. Pay securely using M-Pesa STK Push or a Visa card. For manual payment, use paybill 4189753, account number SHJ26#2547xxxxxxxx (replace with your number), with any amount, for the first payment only, to create a booking. This account number format is for the initial booking payment only, not for lipa mdogo mdogo payments. With both payment methods, manual and through the system, you will receive a confirmation message on WhatsApp with a booking code. Use this booking code as your account number for all subsequent lipa mdogo mdogo payments, without needing to log in to the system. Any payment made is updated automatically, and a receipt is sent to your email with confirmation on WhatsApp. In case you experience any challenges, please let us know.

Which airline do we fly with?

This package uses Air Arabia. You will typically fly into Sharjah International Airport (SHJ), which is Air Arabia’s main hub next to Dubai. Exact flight numbers and timings are shared after flight booking

We land in Sharjah, how do we get to Dubai?

Sharjah Airport sits roughly 30–45 minutes from central Dubai by road (traffic depending). After landing and clearing immigration, group transfers, transport take you into Dubai for hotel check-in.

What currency does Dubai use, and where should I change money?

Dubai uses the UAE Dirham (AED). You can change Kenyan shillings or draw cash in several ways: (1) Kenya before travel — banks and licensed forex bureaus in Nairobi can sell AED or USD (USD is widely exchangeable in Dubai); (2) at Sharjah/Dubai airports — convenient but rates are often weaker and fees higher; (3) in Dubai city, malls and licensed exchange houses (e.g. around Deira, Bur Dubai, or major malls) usually offer better rates than the airport. Compare the board rate and ask about commission. ATMs are everywhere; notify your Kenyan bank of travel dates to avoid card blocks.

Where can first-timers eat safe street food and casual meals?

Dubai’s casual food scene is excellent and generally food-safe when you stick to busy spots.

What else can we visit beyond the package inclusions?

With free time you can add: Dubai Frame, Jumeirah Beach / Kite Beach, Palm Jumeirah viewpoints, Dubai Miracle Garden (seasonal) and sky diving

Do I need a local SIM or internet?

Airport kiosks and city shops sell tourist SIMs (Etisalat, du). Many hotels and malls have free Wi‑Fi. If your phone supports e-sim you can purchase bundle from various online platforms

What is the weather like in early December?

Early December is one of the most comfortable times to visit, warm days, cooler evenings, ideal for fountain shows, dhow cruises, and desert evenings.
