Iconic harbour cities, the world's largest living reef, and the red heart of the Outback — flights, hotels and guided sightseeing, all in one price.
An Australia tour package from Dubai typically bundles return flights (direct services run 11 to 14 hours depending on the gateway city — Perth is shortest), 4★ hotels, daily breakfast, domestic flights or transfers between cities, guided sightseeing and private transfers, plus full Australian visa application guidance — from AED 7,999 per person for a Sydney city break, or AED 13,999 for the full 8-night Sydney, Melbourne & Great Barrier Reef Explorer. Highlights include the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef near Cairns, Melbourne's laneways and the Great Ocean Road's Twelve Apostles, and the red-desert monolith of Uluru in the Outback. Most UAE residents need to apply for an Australian Visitor visa (subclass 600) before flying, as the UAE is not on Australia's ETA or eVisitor eligibility list.
One continent, four very different journeys — from the classic Sydney-Melbourne-Reef circuit, to a short Sydney city break, a romantic Great Barrier Reef and Whitsundays escape, or a grand tour that adds Uluru and the Outback. Every package includes flights, hotels, transfers and guided touring, or we'll build a custom itinerary.

Board your direct overnight flight from Dubai to Sydney (approximately 14 hours), arriving the following morning ready to explore.

Cruise Sydney Harbour past the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and Fort Denison, then head to Bondi Beach in the afternoon for the coastal walk toward Coogee. Overnight in Sydney.
A free day to shape as you like — browse The Rocks' markets, climb the Harbour Bridge, or add an optional day trip to the Blue Mountains to see the Three Sisters rock formation. Overnight in Sydney.

Free time in Melbourne, or add an optional full-day trip along the Great Ocean Road to see the Twelve Apostles limestone stacks. Overnight in Melbourne.

After breakfast, transfer to Cairns Airport to connect with your international flight home — carrying with you memories of harbour cities, coral reefs and Australian hospitality.
Australia's seasons run opposite to the UAE's, and the country is vast enough that timing depends on your route. September to November and March to May are the strongest all-round windows for the classic Sydney-Melbourne-Reef circuit, while June to August is ideal for Uluru and the Outback.
| Season | Months | Weather | Why go |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | Sep – Nov | Mild 15–24°C, blooming countryside | Best overall — comfortable weather, fewer crowds before summer |
| Summer | Dec – Feb | Hot 25–32°C, coastal breezes | Best for Sydney & east coast beaches; peak prices, tropical wet season up north |
| Autumn | Mar – May | Mild 15–23°C, calmer seas | Excellent Reef visibility, harvest season in wine regions |
| Winter | Jun – Aug | Cool 8–17°C south, mild 20–25°C in the Outback | Best for Uluru & the Red Centre; dry season on the Reef |
Spring brings comfortable temperatures to Sydney and Melbourne and calmer conditions on the Great Barrier Reef, all before the summer crowds and prices arrive.
Peak season for Sydney's beaches and harbour life, though it's also cyclone season in the tropical north and the busiest, most expensive time to travel.
Winter is the ideal window for the Red Centre — mild days and cool nights around Uluru — and the Reef's dry season offers some of the clearest underwater visibility of the year, even as the southern cities turn cool.
