Who We Are

A Travel Agency Built Around Real People, Not Just Bookings

Gulliver Holidays is a UAE-based travel agency with offices in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, built to make international travel simple for the people who call this country home — Emirati residents, expats, and the large Filipino, Indian and wider GCC communities we work with every day.

We don't just sell package tours. Every itinerary is put together by a travel consultant who has either been to the destination or worked closely with ground partners there, and every visa case is handled by someone who understands the specific paperwork your nationality and residence status require.

What sets us apart isn't a gimmick — it's consistency. The same licensed agency handles your flights, your hotel, your visa and your on-ground support, so nothing falls into the gap between three different suppliers. If a flight changes or a visa appointment needs rescheduling, you have one number to call, not four.

That reliability is why a large share of our bookings come from repeat customers and referrals rather than one-off searches — a long-term relationship with travellers, not a single transaction, is genuinely the goal.

Our Story

How Gulliver Holidays Came To Be

A short version of our journey — from a small Deira office to a full-service travel agency serving families and companies across the UAE.

1

The Founding Idea

Gulliver Holidays started with a simple observation: UAE residents were juggling separate providers for flights, hotels, visas and tours, with no single point of accountability. We set out to build one licensed agency that could handle the entire trip, start to finish.

2

Building the Deira Office & Core Team

Our first team of travel consultants and visa specialists set up in Port Saeed, Deira, focused on getting the fundamentals right — accurate quotes, honest timelines, and visa applications prepared the way immigration authorities actually expect them.

3

Growing Through Word of Mouth

As more families and couples booked their honeymoons, holidays and visas with us, referrals became our biggest source of new travellers — a trend we still track closely as a sign we're doing right by our customers.

4

Expanding to Abu Dhabi & Corporate Travel

We opened a second office in Abu Dhabi and built out a dedicated corporate travel desk to support companies booking flights, hotels and visas for their teams — alongside a growing portfolio of destination-specific holiday packages across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.

5

Where We're Headed

Our next chapter is about going deeper, not just wider: more destination specialists, faster visa turnaround, and richer, more customisable itineraries — while keeping the same one-agency, one-point-of-contact promise that got us here.

What Drives Us

Our Mission & Vision

Our Mission

To make world-class travel accessible and stress-free for every resident of the UAE — by combining honest pricing, licensed visa expertise, and personal service, so that planning a trip never feels more complicated than taking it.

Our Vision

To be the most trusted name in travel for the UAE's diverse communities — the agency people recommend to their family, their colleagues and their neighbours, not because we're the loudest, but because we consistently deliver.

Reliability

Licensed, accredited, and here for the long run — the same agency you can call before, during and after your trip.

Passion

Our consultants genuinely love travel — it shows in the small recommendations that turn a good trip into a great one.

Professionalism

Travelling Responsibly

Responsible Tourism

We believe good travel should leave places better than it found them. Where possible, we favour locally owned riads, guesthouses and tour operators over large chains, so more of what you spend stays in the communities you visit.

Our driver-guides and local partners are recruited from the regions they operate in, which means your trip supports local livelihoods directly rather than a distant head office.

We encourage low-impact choices where they fit the itinerary — refillable water bottles instead of single-use plastic in the desert and mountains, respectful dress and behaviour at religious and cultural sites, and wildlife experiences (like Sahara camel treks) that avoid harmful animal practices.

We're continuing to build out a more formal sustainability policy, and we welcome feedback from travellers on how we can do this better.
