The next World Cup in Qatar will be beneficial for Dubai

Dubai will benefit more than any other tourist site

It is expected that Dubai will benefit more than any other tourist site in the region from Doha’s hosting of the World Cup, noting that of the more than 90 new flights that will land in Doha daily, about 40 will depart from the United Arab Emirates alone. A report by the Bloomberg Agency stated that Qatar’s tourism sector is about to receive a boost, as the Gulf state is preparing to receive more than one million football fans.

Flight with “fly Dubai”

In connection with the FIFA World Cup matches that are planned to take place between November 20 and December 18, only “fly Dubai” will operate a total of 60 flights (round trip) between Dubai and Doha each and every day, 24 hours a day, in both directions, with an average of 30 flights.

According to the research, fans will be transported to Qatar through aircraft departing from key cities in the Middle East. As a result, airlines, hotels, and other hospitality venues in a number of nations, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Oman, would gain.

Dubai is a destination

According to the report, a new hotel that was constructed on Palm Island has been reserved for guests who plan to stay in Dubai and take a flight to Doha that will take only forty minutes. The report also stated that the travel requirements will be streamlined and that travelers will only need a ticket to enter one of the matches.

According to Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports, Dubai would be the “primary entrance” to the World Cup, and he anticipated that a very significant number of people would arrive in Dubai during that time period. This information was reported by Bloomberg.

Data that was collected recently revealed that on the opening day of the World Cup in Qatar, 13 out of the 22 daily flights that were scheduled for flydubai to take fans from Dubai to Doha in order for them to attend matches in Qatar were completely sold out of seats in the Economy Class cabin.

flydubai has started accepting reservations for “match-day flights” between Dubai and Doha in preparation for the FIFA World Cup, which will be held in Qatar. The airline will provide match-day flights in partnership with Qatar Airways as well as other national partner airlines from Gulf Cooperation Council countries.

Matchday journey

To be eligible for booking on a Match Day Trip to Doha, the traveler must first have purchased tickets to the Qatar Football Tournament. In addition to completing an application for a “Haya” card, which will be used as an identification card for the fan and is necessary to enter Qatar as well as to access the stadiums, fans will also be asked to submit a passport-sized photo.

Flights on flydubai between Dubai International Airport and Hamad International Airport are going to continue operating as planned at this time even for travelers who do not have match day tickets.

For a period of twelve years

Qatar has been preparing to host the cup for the past 12 years, and the country estimates that the influx of 1.2 million visitors will add $17 billion to its economy. Additionally, a regional transport service will connect Doha with other cities, including Muscat, Riyadh, Jeddah, and Kuwait City. Additionally, Saudi Arabia and Oman will hold festivals to attract fans, and both countries plan to simplify travel procedures.

The Saudi Tourism Authority has said that they anticipate receiving 30,000 tourists as a direct result of the World Cup. Those who are enrolled in the Qatari Haya card program are eligible to apply for multiple entry visas to the country.

In the meanwhile, the Omani Ministry of Heritage and Tourism has said that the tournament would boost the profile of a number of locations in the area and will have an effect on the economy beyond the duration of the event.
