Dubai and the UAE · 2027 costs
32 hotels from the Palm to Ras Al Khaimah. What two days really cost, from their own quotes.
In short
Two days with 100 rooms and four meals runs about ₹70 lakh–1.5 crore at the hotels that quoted our team across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah, before décor, artists, the bar and flights. Planners publish ₹1.2–3 crore all-in for 150–250 guests, and the UAE carries the costliest extras of any destination we priced.
Every figure is labelled: quoted to our team, the venue's own listed price, a published estimate, or our estimate from the hotel's tariff. Prices move with dates; treat them as a starting point.

Good to know
Two days with 100 rooms and four meals runs about ₹70 lakh–1.5 crore at the hotels that quoted our team across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah, before décor, artists, the bar and flights. Planners publish ₹1.2–3 crore all-in for 150–250 guests, and the UAE carries the costliest extras of any destination we priced.
Our estimate from published Dubai vendor prices is ₹1.05–3.05 crore for 200 guests over two days, covering Indian catering where the hotel kitchen won't, mandap and décor, pandit, baraat, DJ and LED, permits, beauty, photo and film, the bar, coaches and visas. Dubai is the one Gulf city where every Indian-wedding supplier publishes a price.
Typically 10% service charge, 7% municipality fee and 5% VAT, plus the Tourism Dirham of AED 20 a room a night; Abu Dhabi adds a tourism fee that sources put at 4–6%. Ask for every figure as a net total, because quotes mix inclusive rooms with ++ banquet prices.
Yes: a tourist visa at AED 100–200 a person (about ₹2,600–5,200), or AED 100 for holders of a valid US, UK or Schengen visa, usually arranged by the hotel or a travel partner in a few days. Return fares from Delhi and Mumbai ran about ₹31,000–42,000 a guest, so plan ₹63–84 lakh for 200.
The Indian consulate marries only couples where one partner is a UAE resident, so a Dubai wedding is a ceremony and the marriage is registered in India. Abu Dhabi's civil family court does marry visiting couples of any nationality for AED 300, which some families use for the paperwork.
November to March, when outdoor lawns and beaches are usable; summer is indoors only. Ramadan 2027 runs from about 8 February to 10 March: hotels still serve alcohol to licensed venues, but daytime functions and music are restrained, so most families book after mid-March or in November. Outdoor music ends at 22:00 and alcohol permits need 14 days' notice.
