Abu Dhabi is inviting Indian families to spend Diwali in the UAE capital with multi-generational getaways, all within a three-to-four-hour flight of major Indian cities. The seasonal offering pairs white-sand beaches, world-class museums, theme parks, festive shopping and family feasts, with holiday packages starting at INR 83,325 per person.
Getting There Is Easier Than You Think
Utazzo’s six-night Discover Abu Dhabi Festive Celebrations package, from INR 83,325 per person, covers accommodation with breakfast and airport transfers. It also includes entry to Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Louvre Abu Dhabi, a Yas Island theme park and a desert safari, with time left over for shopping.
Families flying from Ahmedabad can look at Flamingo Transworld’s Diwali Package, the Epic Tour Package with Sky View, from INR 167,500 per person. It includes return economy flights, a UAE visa and three nights in Abu Dhabi. The itinerary features high tea at Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, two Yas Island theme parks, teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi and Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
Every Generation Gets Its Kind Of Holiday

Thomas Cook’s three-night Arabian Dhamaka – Winter package, from INR 136,500 per person, includes immersive art at teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi, the architecture of Qasr Al Watan, Snow Abu Dhabi and two Yas Island theme parks. A guided city tour, a photo stop at Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and a visit to BAPS Hindu Mandir round out the stay.
Diwali Can Come With A Beach Day
Between the sightseeing, there is room for a slower pace. Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island is offering up to 25 per cent off the Best Available Rate for minimum two-night stays between November 1 and 15, 2026, with complimentary all-inclusive accommodation for children in selected room categories. It puts a beach day minutes from some of Abu Dhabi’s leading cultural institutions.
The Diwali Feast Is Still Part Of The Celebration
Being away from home does not mean leaving familiar flavours behind. From November 6 to 8, Namak’s Diwali Table will serve live chaat, tandoor favourites, regional Indian dishes and traditional sweets for approximately INR 4,200 per adult. Up to 2 children aged 10 and below can eat for free.
