Published by online flight and hotel booking platform Skyscanner, the study found that 41 per cent of UAE residents' plan to travel with their family in 2026, building on the trend where 31 per cent said they travelled with their parents and grandparents on trips within the last two years.

A large number of residents travel abroad every year, including grandparents, particularly to cooler climates during the summer holidays and again during the winter break. Additionally, many people travel to Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia during Eid and other holidays.

Additionally, UAE residents also choose their destinations and itineraries with literary escapes, hobbies, and passions, as well as skincare treatments in mind.
