Are there any hot tours to the UAE now?

Answer by Andrey Zorin, Unex
Tours are "burning" when the tour operator has bought out "hard blocks" on airplanes or in hotels, and there is little time left to realize them and he tries to minimize his losses by selling the tour is below its cost price, thereby increasing demand. At the same time, "burn up" tickets and hotels can both at the same time and separately.

In the UAE, burning tours now also happen, but only the air ticket can "burn" in these tours, since after the crisis the rigid blocks in hotels with significant risks no one buys them out, except for New Year's Eve.

Given that the visa in the UAE is being opened now for 3-4 days, or even less, "burning out" tours usually begin, not less than 7-10 days before departure. But in this situation it is possible to stay without the hotel you need, especially if it is popular enough

So if you are more interested in saving a couple of hundred dollars (which is usually the maximum amount for which tour operators in the UAE are willing to cut prices for tours in the case of "burning" tickets) than to get into a specific, highly demanded hotel, then waiting for a "fire" makes sense.

The main thing is to correctly place a bet on the departure date, and it often happens that tickets even end without even having time to "warm up" and fly away to the right day will not work at all, or you'll have to pay even more than you planned to save.
