Paris is home to lots of amazing attractions. Whether you want to admire the Eiffel Tower, visit museums, or simply walk along the Seine, there is more than enough to do.
With any holiday to the UAE, you will want to organise your flights, accommodation and sightseeing. Taking advantage of the best Paris tour packages from Dubai will help make this simple and you can enjoy a hassle-free holiday.
This guide covers what to look for in a holiday package, how much to budget, the best places to visit, and sample itineraries to help you plan your trip.
Why Choose a Paris Holiday Package from Dubai?
Choosing a Paris holiday package makes sense as there are so many things to organise. This will provide:
- All-inclusive. Flights, hotel and transfers all in one place so you can easily compare offers.
- Visa-ready paperwork. Usually includes hotel and flight details needed for your visa.
- Less planning stress. Tickets for timed entry to the Louvre and Eiffel Tower can sell out quickly so choosing a good agent will help.
- Local support. If any changes to your flight occur, you can contact one team.
If you want a highly flexible multi-city holiday, then a package may not be the right choice. Instead, create your own itinerary (see Nice add-on below).
What Is Included in Paris Tour Packages from Dubai?
Depending on which company you go with, it is worth comparing the inclusions.
Usually included | Often extra |
Flights (Dubai to Paris) | Lunches/dinners |
3-5 Star hotel with breakfast | Tickets for museums/towers |
Airport transfers | Seine cruise, Disneyland and Versailles |
Paris city tour | Travel insurance (necessary for your visa) |
Metro/Transport Pass (Some include) | Visa fees and service charges |
These are some common inclusions. Not all will be included in our Al Shamsi Travels offers.
Choosing a package that includes airport transfers and a good location hotel may be a better option to save you hassle.
At Al Shamsi Travels, travelers can explore holiday planning and booking options for international destinations, including Paris.
Best Places to Visit During Your Paris Holiday
You don’t necessarily need to see all the famous sights to have a great holiday. Choosing a few key spots and leaving enough time between them can help.
- Eiffel Tower
This is a must-see spot on your first visit. You can enjoy looking at the tower or purchase tickets to get great views. To take some amazing pictures head to Champ de Mars or Trocadéro. Especially in the evening!
- Louvre Museum
The Louvre houses an amazing range of artefacts and art including the famous Mona Lisa. We recommend focusing on the exhibits you are interested in and booking tickets in advance to avoid long queues.
- Seine River
Walking along the river provides an alternative view of Paris. You will pass many historic bridges, bookshops and famous landmarks. Another great way to see Paris is with a sightseeing cruise.
- Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur
This area is very different to the centre of Paris. The area has slopes, lovely restaurants and an artist square. The views from the Sacré-Cœur Basilica are stunning. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes as there are lots of hills and steps here.
- Notre-Dame Cathedral
One of the most famous historical landmarks in Paris. The cathedral was reopened in December 2024 after restoration work due to the fire in 2019. Check how they are running things before your visit and take your time exploring the area around.
- Disneyland Paris
Families with children will enjoy a full day at Disneyland Paris. As this is outside the centre of Paris you will need to allow some travel time. If you want to include this in your holiday, check if tickets are available and transfers will be included.

How Much Does a Paris Holiday Package from Dubai Cost?
The cost of your Dubai to Paris holiday package depends on when you are travelling, how many nights you are staying and what hotel you are staying in.
Things to Consider:
Flight Prices
Flight costs can be a large part of your holiday costs, especially during School Holidays, Christmas and peak times. Be sure to compare dates and luggage allowance to save money. Al Shamsi Travels offers international flight booking services to help you find suitable flight options.
Hotel Location
Hotels can be expensive in central Paris especially near popular sites. Booking further out can save you money. However, booking a hotel close to a Métro/RER station will make travelling easy. Explore hotel booking options with Al Shamsi Travels to find suitable accommodation for your trip.
Sightseeing and Attractions
Admissions to museums, viewing decks, guided tours and Disneyland can add to your costs. Be sure to choose what you are interested in.
Package Duration
A four-day break will be cheaper than longer. However, a large portion of your budget could go on flights. Be sure to check the overall cost when comparing a Paris holiday package from Dubai.
Best Time to Visit Paris from Dubai
We recommend visiting late April – June or September – Early October for the best weather and cost.

Do UAE Residents Need a Visa for Paris?
As France is part of the Schengen Zone, visa requirements will depend on your nationality and travel documents. Usually, UAE Citizens can visit without a visa for short stays. Many UAE residents of other nationalities will require a Schengen Visa.
Short-term Schengen Visas will allow you to visit for up to 90 days within 180 days. You may need a valid passport, hotel details, travel plans, proof of funds and travel medical insurance.
Check the official France-Visas website for current requirements. Al Shamsi Travels also provides international visa application assistance, including Schengen visa support. Final visa approval rests with the relevant authorities.
Halal Food, Shopping and Practical Tips
6 things to know for first-timers:
- Halal Food: There are plenty of Halal restaurants in Paris, especially around the Latin Quarter, Belleville and some areas of the Marais. Be sure to check each spot as quality varies.
- Tax Free Shopping: If you are not from the EU, you can often claim back VAT on larger purchases. Be sure to get your documents stamped. Ask the shop what they require and check what the minimum spend is currently.
- Sales: Large sales happen in January and late June to July.
- Money: France uses the Euro. Cards are widely used however, we recommend carrying a small amount of cash for smaller cafes.
- Safety: Paris is friendly; however, pickpockets can operate in busy areas and on the Metro. Keep your phone and passport in a front pocket or zipped bag.
- Insurance: Required for the visa. Good to have in case of medical issues and delays.
