Tight schedule, tighter budget? You're in luck. Several international destinations are bookable on cheap return flights from Dubai under AED 750 — spanning Mediterranean beaches, European capitals, and Gulf city-breaks. Here are six worth booking now.
1. Antalya, Turkey — AED 745
One of the world's most scenic coastal cities, Antalya sits on Turkey's Mediterranean coast with aqua-blue waters and sweeping sandy beaches. History lovers can explore the archaeological site of Perge, which contains well-preserved Roman and Hellenistic architecture, while beach-goers can settle into one of the resort strips along the Turquoise Coast.
2. Bucharest, Romania — AED 743
Often called the Paris of the East, Bucharest blends old-world European grandeur with a dynamic modern energy. Don't miss a performance at the Romanian Athenaeum — one of the continent's most stunning concert halls — or stop for a photograph beside the Triumphal Arch, modelled on its Parisian counterpart.
3. Budapest, Hungary — AED 575
Hungary's capital is famous for its thermal baths and dramatic riverfront scenery. Walk across the iconic Chain Bridge at dusk, then visit Heroes' Square and Vajdahunyad Castle for a deep dive into Central European history. The city's thermal spa culture makes it one of the most relaxing weekend escapes from Dubai.
4. Kuwait City, Kuwait — AED 700
A short hop from Dubai, Kuwait City rewards visitors with the panoramic views from the Kuwait Towers and a colourful afternoon at Souk Al Mubarakiya — where traditional Kuwaiti craftwork, clothing, and perfumes line the stalls. It's a great Gulf destination for a long weekend without a lengthy flight.
5. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — AED 498
The cheapest destination on this list, Riyadh is also one of the most rapidly evolving. Try dune bashing on the city's desert fringes, explore a growing local and international dining scene, or head to the Sky Bridge, which sits 300 metres above the ground and offers sweeping views across the Saudi capital.
6. Vienna, Austria — AED 602
The city of Mozart and Beethoven delivers culture at every turn. Catch a live performance by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, wander the imperial palaces of the Hofburg, and sample a classic Wiener Schnitzel at a traditional Viennese restaurant. All this for just AED 602 return from Dubai.
