Dubai Travel Insurance is appropriate for anyone traveling to Dubai, Abu Dhabi or other emirates in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Travel insurance that covers COVID-19 (Coronavirus) just like any other eligible sickness is mandatory for the duration of stay in Dubai.

In the last 20 years, Dubai has grown exponentially and has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.

As the Dubai-based Emirates airline provides worldwide connections, it is very easy to travel to Dubai in just one flight. Emirates also offers convenient stopovers, and a lot of travelers take advantage of that.

Dubai has a lot to offer, including the world's largest shopping mall, the Dubai Mall, the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, and the world's most luxurious hotel, the Burj Al Arab. Dubai also has the world's largest human-made islands, which are shaped like palm trees and also look like a world map. Just outside the Burj Khalifa is the world's largest musical fountain, which is similar to the ones outside the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas, USA.

Dubai is a favorite destination for shopping, especially gold. Many people visit Bastakia in Old Dubai, and Dubai Creek, which separates Deira Dubai to the north and Bur Dubai to the south. Traveling on Sheikh Zayed Road is simply amazing. The Mall of the Emirates has an indoor ski slope, along with chairlifts and a penguin enclosure.

Many tourists also go outside Dubai city to experience a desert safari ride, typically in a Toyota Land Cruiser.

Many travelers to Dubai also visit Abu Dhabi and Sharjah city. Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE and is famous for the Ferrari World theme park as well as the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. There are many other theme parks, water parks, mosques and observation decks, as well as a zoo and an art district.

Health care is not free in Dubai and medical expenses are high. Dubai travel insurance is mandatory if you need a visa to visit UAE; US citizens need a UAE visa for visits longer than 30 days. If you are able to travel visa free, it is still highly recommended to get travel medical insurance coverage in case of unexpected health and medical emergencies. It is possible that if you have unpaid medical bills, your passport could be seized and you won't be allowed to leave the country until they're handled.

You can purchase Dubai travel insurance before visiting Dubai for a worry-free and exciting experience. Whether you are traveling to Dubai for business or pleasure, get Dubai travel insurance today for a smooth stay.
