Travelers booking eligible return trips to Dubai with Emirates by October 11, 2026, can receive complimentary attraction passes worth Dh535 (AED 535) for visits between September 24 and December 13, 2026, including entry to Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark, Lost World Aquarium and the Dubai City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus tour.
What the Dh535 Attraction Bundle Includes
The offer provides complimentary access to three major Dubai attractions: Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark for water-based thrills, Lost World Aquarium to see sharks and rays, and the Dubai City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus tour to explore landmarks from Burj Khalifa to the historic Al Fahidi district at your own pace. The bus pass is a 24-hour ticket with unlimited rides.
The bundle forms part of Emirates’ winter campaign for Dubai, announced in its official media release on September 30, 2026.
Eligibility and Booking Details
To qualify, passengers must purchase eligible return tickets to Dubai between September 21 and October 11, 2026, for travel between September 24 and December 13, 2026. The offer applies across all cabin classes: Economy, Premium Economy, Business and First Class.
- Some departure cities are excluded: Emirates says exclusions on points of origin apply but does not list them in its release, so check that your departure city qualifies on the Emirates offer page before you book.
- Existing bookings: tickets must be purchased during the sale period, so a ticket bought before September 21 does not qualify.
How to Claim the Passes
- Booked online: your unique code arrives in the flight booking confirmation email. Exchange it for tickets to the bus tour, Aquaventure World and Lost World Aquarium.
- Booked through a travel agent, Emirates contact center or retail store: ask for your access codes when you book, or email [email protected] at least 96 hours before you arrive in Dubai. Include your booking reference, arrival date in Dubai, the names of all passengers in the booking, a phone number and the email address where the codes should be sent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the attraction passes if I’m traveling one-way to Dubai?
No, the offer applies only to eligible return tickets to Dubai; one-way tickets do not qualify for the complimentary attraction bundle.
How long are the attraction passes valid?
The City Sightseeing bus pass is a 24-hour ticket. Emirates’ offer page does not give a use-by date for Aquaventure World and Lost World Aquarium, so check the dates on your tickets when you exchange your code, and confirm opening hours with each attraction before visiting.
Does My Emirates Pass work the same way as the Dh535 bundle?
No. My Emirates Pass is a separate, year-round program where you show your physical or digital Emirates boarding pass and a valid ID at participating venues for discounts; the Dh535 attraction passes are a one-time bundle tied to an eligible return ticket purchase.
Do I need a visa to visit Dubai?
It depends on your passport. Emirates says customers from 88 nations can get a free visa on arrival in Dubai. Check whether your nationality qualifies before you book.
