UAE Residents Offered Abu Dhabi All-Inclusive Staycations and Visa-Free Travel to Armenia

Several Abu Dhabi hotels have launched all‑inclusive staycation packages for UAE and GCC residents. InterContinental Abu Dhabi offers beach‑club access, full meals and drinks for families at rates from AED 650 on weekdays, while Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island and Al Wathba, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, provide similar family‑friendly deals with spa, gym and desert experiences until late September.

UAE citizens can also travel to Armenia without a pre‑obtained visa. Presenting a valid Emirates ID, passport and hotel booking is sufficient for entry. Travelers are advised to expect routine immigration questions and note that the airport queue often moves quickly. A five‑day itinerary is recommended, combining Yerevan’s cafés and culture with mountain activities, monastery visits and a sail on Lake Sevan.
