UAE staycations vs international vacations: Insane deals from Dh99 at top local hotels & resorts win!
With international travel costs soaring and the hassle of visas and flight bookings, many UAE residents are choosing to spend their summer holidays within the country. Hotels across the UAE are offering enticing deals, with staycations starting as low as Dh99 ($27) per night.
This shift toward local holidays is making it easier for families to relax without breaking the bank.
Rising Costs Drive Families to Opt for Staycations
While summer vacations abroad were once the norm for many families, this year's rising airfares, visa issues, and the overall expense of international trips are changing the trend. Speaking to local news outlet, Faisal M., a marketing executive from Al Qusais, shared his decision:
'I calculated all the costs, and it's nearly double the usual price.
For a family of four, even a short trip abroad is just too expensive when you include flights, hotels, food, and activities. So, we decided to try a staycation in the UAE. It's cheaper, easier, and still fun.'
Many residents like Faisal are opting for a cost-effective alternative by staying in the UAE. Hotels and resorts have responded with special summer deals, making it easy to enjoy a getaway without leaving the country.

Track Machine Derails Near Nerul, Disrupts Harbour Line Services
Mumbai: Hundreds of commuters were left in the lurch when a track relaying train (TRT) used during the megablock derailed near Nerul station on Central Railway's Harbour line on Sunday, leading to suspension of services on both Up (towards CSMT) and Down (away from CSMT) lines between Vashi and Panvel. A resident of Nerul stated that many commuters were stranded for almost the entire day as the services were hit during the megablock from 11am onwards and even after the block period. The inconvenience continued till the time of going to press. However, Harbour line services were not completely paralysed and were operational on the following rail corridors: CSMT to Vashi, Belapur to Panvel and Thane to Nerul on Trans Harbour line, as per a senior official.

According to a Central Railway official, the TRT was in operation during the scheduled megablock, which was to conclude on Sunday evening, but after the derailment, commuters at Nerul did not get trains to go to Vashi or Belapur side. Many opted for roads which faced traffic snarls and exorbitant fares charged by auto drivers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription!

A senior Central Railway official remarked that all-out efforts were being made for early restoration. Citizens were frustrated as there were megablocks in the morning and afternoon, followed by the disruption. A commuter tweeted that there had been consecutive megablocks on the Vashi-Panvel line for the past three weeks, and even after the whole day block, trains between Vashi and Panvel were stopped again, questioning the point of a full-day block and when citizens would be prioritised. On Harbour line, the block was on Panvel-Vashi UP and DOWN Harbour lines from 11.05 am to 4.05 pm (excluding Port line). The Up Harbour line services for CSMT Mumbai leaving Panvel from 10.33 am to 3.49 pm and Down Harbour line services to Panvel/Belapur leaving CSMT Mumbai from 9.45 am to 3.45 pm were cancelled during the block
