Emirates is bundling complimentary hotel stays at the JW Marriott Marquis into eligible return ticket bookings this summer, as the airline looks to drive Dubai stopover traffic during a season when regional travel demand has been softened by the US-Israel-Iran conflict.
Passengers who book return tickets in First Class or Business Class between June 22 and July 12 receive two complimentary nights at the five-star property. Those travelling in Premium Economy or Economy Class receive one night. The offer applies to tickets for travel between June 25 and September 30, covering both Dubai as a final destination and stopovers of more than 24 hours.
The JW Marriott Marquis sits in central Dubai and includes restaurants, spa facilities, a gym and a rooftop pool. Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, said the airline was “inviting passengers to enjoy even more of the city with a complimentary hotel stay to take advantage of the exceptional range of shopping, entertainment, dining and family-friendly experiences that define the Dubai summer experience.”
Beyond the hotel offer, Emirates’ My Emirates Pass returns for summer 2026, giving travellers access to more than 600 discounts at restaurants, spas, retailers and attractions across Dubai. Boarding passes, physical or digital, serve as proof of eligibility at participating venues.
The airline’s Dubai Experience platform, available in select markets, offers 24-hour and 48-hour stopover itineraries for travellers who want a more structured city break. Emirates is also offering one complimentary date change for bookings made after April 2, 2026, across all cabin classes, alongside its existing Hold My Fare option for travellers who want to lock in a price before confirming plans.
Dubai Summer Surprises 2026 runs from July 2 to August 30, adding concerts, cultural programming and retail events to the city’s summer calendar.
Emirates flies to more than 138 destinations worldwide. Last week, the airline also launched a Comprehensive Travel Cover insurance scheme in select markets, designed to provide broader protection for passengers booking summer travel.
