Hotels, developers and hospitality companies across Dubai are offering free hotel stays to stranded tourists hit by the March 2026 flight disruptions — a wide-ranging community effort that reflects the city's commitment to its visitors.

Several hospitality groups and property developers stepped forward to support travellers still in the city as flight schedules gradually resumed. Many visitors are still waiting for confirmed departure dates.

Sonu Sood Announces Free Stays Through Dugasta Properties

Indian actor Sonu Sood announced that travellers stranded in Dubai can access complimentary accommodation through Dugasta Properties.

In a video message shared on social media, Sood said that anyone unable to travel due to the ongoing situation can reach out directly to him or Dugasta Properties through Instagram — with no conditions attached. "War has left many travellers stranded in Dubai. If you or someone you know has nowhere to stay, we are offering safe accommodation free of cost. No nationality. No conditions. Just humanity," he said.

He stated the initiative aims to ensure affected travellers have a safe place to stay until they can return home.

Hotels Offering Complimentary Stays in Dubai

Several hotels in Dubai joined the effort by providing free accommodation to visitors stranded by flight cancellations.

Palazzo Versace Dubai announced complimentary stays for stranded guests, including breakfast. The hotel said its teams are coordinating closely with authorities while prioritising guest comfort and safety. Travellers can contact the hotel at +971 4 556 8888 or reservations@palazzoversace.ae.

Mileo Hotel The Palm is also offering free overnight stays to travellers requiring temporary accommodation.

Developers and Holiday Home Providers Step In

A number of property developers and holiday home operators across Dubai have launched their own support initiatives for stranded tourists. These include:

- Danube Properties — providing complimentary accommodation for travellers in urgent need. - AraBnB — helping several families secure free stays in vacant properties. - Caabi Boutique Homes — offering temporary accommodation where available. - Casa Elan — providing a two-night complimentary stay for eligible guests affected by flight disruptions. - HomesGetaway — assisting travellers and residents in finding immediate accommodation. - Peace Homes Development — offering temporary free stays for stranded individuals.

Eligible guests are typically asked to provide proof of flight cancellation, and accommodation is offered subject to availability.

Additional Support From Imtiaz Developments

Imtiaz Developments has also announced support for affected travellers, saying it will help cover hotel expenses for tourists in need and provide assistance to families requiring essential support.

The collective effort from Dubai's hospitality sector, developers and businesses underscores the city's determination to ensure visitors feel welcomed and cared for — even during one of the most disruptive travel crises to hit the region in years.
