A Finland tour package from Dubai typically bundles return flights (Finnair and Emirates fly direct from Dubai to Helsinki in around 6 hours), hotels in Helsinki and/or Rovaniemi, domestic flight connections to Lapland, daily breakfast and guided sightseeing — from AED 3,499 per person for a short Helsinki city break, up to AED 11,999 for a Grand Finland tour that adds Turku and extra days in Lapland. Highlights include Helsinki's Senate Square and the sea fortress of Suomenlinna, Rovaniemi's Santa Claus Village on the Arctic Circle, husky and reindeer safaris, snowmobile excursions, and guided Northern Lights hunting trips in winter, or the midnight sun in summer. UAE residents typically need a Schengen visa before flying, since Finland is part of the Schengen Area.
One Nordic country, four very different journeys — from a short Helsinki city break, to the classic capital-and-Lapland circuit, a romantic glass igloo escape, or a Grand Finland tour that adds Turku and extra days above the Arctic Circle. Every package includes flights, hotels, transfers and guided experiences, or we'll build a custom itinerary.

Here's how your 5-night Finland trip flows. Return flights, a domestic connection to Rovaniemi, hotels, daily breakfast and guided Arctic experiences are included throughout.
Land at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport on a direct flight from Dubai and transfer to your hotel in the city centre. Spend the evening at leisure along the harbourfront or exploring the Design District. Overnight in Helsinki.
A guided city tour takes in Senate Square, Helsinki Cathedral and the Market Square, followed by a short ferry ride to Suomenlinna, the UNESCO-listed sea fortress spread across six islands. Free evening back in the city for dinner. Overnight in Helsinki.
A short domestic flight (around 1.5 hours) takes you to Rovaniemi, the official hometown of Santa Claus and capital of Lapland. Check into your Arctic hotel and visit Santa Claus Village, where the Arctic Circle line runs right through the central square. Overnight in Rovaniemi.
Meet a team of huskies for a sled ride through snow-covered forest trails, then continue to a reindeer farm to feed and learn about these gentle Arctic animals with a short sleigh ride included. Warm up afterwards with hot drinks by the fire. Overnight in Rovaniemi.
Spend the day at leisure exploring Rovaniemi or the Arktikum science museum, then head out after dark with an experienced guide on a Northern Lights hunting excursion away from the city's light pollution. Hot berry juice and storytelling round out the evening under the Arctic sky. Overnight in Rovaniemi.
After breakfast, transfer to Rovaniemi Airport for your flight home (connecting via Helsinki), taking with you memories of Senate Square, Santa Claus Village and the dancing lights of the Arctic sky.
Finland offers two completely different holidays depending on the season — a snow-covered Arctic wonderland from December to March, or long, bright summer days perfect for exploring Helsinki and the archipelago.
| Season | Months | Weather | Why go |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winter (Lapland) | Dec – Mar | Cold -5 to -20°C, deep snow | Northern Lights, husky sledding & snowmobiling |
| Summer | Jun – Aug | Mild 12–23°C, long daylight | Best for Helsinki sightseeing & midnight sun |
| Spring | Apr – May | Cool 0–10°C, melting snow | Quieter season, blooming landscapes |
| Autumn ("Ruska") | Sep – Oct | Cool 5–15°C, colourful foliage | Best autumn colours in Lapland's forests |
The classic Lapland season — snow-covered forests, husky and reindeer safaris, and the best chances of seeing the Northern Lights on clear nights.
Long, bright days and the midnight sun in Lapland make summer ideal for city sightseeing, archipelago boat trips and outdoor cafés.
September's "Ruska" autumn colours and late-March's combination of snow and daylight both offer a quieter, still-magical visit.
