Overview
Between November and April the light on the coast of the Gulf is mild enough to fulfil a lifelong wish without heat stress. Exactly this travel season applies to the Emirates, and anyone who plans an occasion such as a milestone birthday or an anniversary should fix the date early. In Dubai the skyline is at the centre: an evening on the Burj Khalifa or a drive out into the dunes gives the occasion a picture that stays for a long time. Abu Dhabi feels calmer.
There the Sheikh Zayed Mosque and the art of the Louvre can be combined at a leisurely pace, without the day becoming a list. For Swiss travellers the following applies: visa-free for up to 90 days, and the flight time is approx. 6 to 6.5 hrs. The entry requirements of the FDFA (EDA) are authoritative, and you should check them before booking.
That leaves room for a trip that does not fail because of the journey. Anyone who does not want to decide between glamour and stillness divides the days between both cities. The preparation in the video call clarifies which hours deliberately stay free, so that the dream destination becomes a memory and not a timetable.
