✈️ Explore Dubai, Turkey & Saudi with Confidence in 2025
Whether you’re looking for sun, culture, or spirituality, 2025 presents fantastic travel opportunities from the UK to three different but equally exciting destinations: the vibrant cityscape of Dubai, the rich heritage of Turkey, and the sacred journey of Saudi Arabia. At Riseway Travel UK, we’ve curated travel-smart insights to help you pick your next trip wisely.
🏙 Dubai — Glamour, Family-Friendly & Value
Highlights:
World-class hotels, desert safaris, beach resorts and plenty of family-friendly attractions.
UK residents can apply for the UAE Tourist Visa online, often within 2–3 working days.
Best travel window: October to March (pleasant weather). Summer can be extremely hot (40 °C+).
Tip: Book flights 6–8 weeks in advance for better fares from London or Manchester.
Don’t miss: Burj Khalifa observation deck, safari into the desert dunes, the Dubai Mall aquarium, and family-friendly hotels with kids’ clubs.
🌍 Turkey — Culture, Value & Year-Round Travel
Highlights:
Turkey continues to be a top-value choice for UK travellers: city breaks in Istanbul, beach resorts in Antalya, historic sites in Cappadocia.
UK passport holders currently benefit from e-Visa or visa-on‐arrival (check latest rules).
Best seasons: April–June & September–October (mild weather, fewer crowds).
Tip: Combine a city stay (2-3 nights in Istanbul) with 4-5 nights by the coast or countryside for a rich experience.
Don’t miss: Hagia Sophia & Blue Mosque in Istanbul; a hot-air-balloon ride in Cappadocia; turquoise beaches in southwest Turkey.
🕋 Saudi Arabia — Spiritual Travel & Umrah Insights
Highlights:
For UK pilgrims, 2025 brings improved access for trip planning to the holy cities of Mecca and Madinah.
Requirements for Umrah travel: Valid UK passport (6 + months), recent photo, return flight, hotel confirmation, travel insurance.
Timing matters: Ramadan and Hajj seasons are extremely busy, so early booking is highly recommended for best rates.
Tip: Choose a package that includes transport between Jeddah airport → Mecca → Madinah to avoid surprises.
Don’t miss: The serene city of Madinah for reflection, the historic sites around Mecca, and optionally staying a few extra nights in Jeddah for a coastal extension.
