(MENAFN- Wego)
Dubai, UAE: 19 March 2025: Wego, the number 1 travel app and the largest online travel marketplace in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), released exclusive insights into Ramadan 2025 travel trends for UAE residents, highlighting surging demand for international destinations, strategic booking patterns, and a resurgence in staycation value.
International travel demand soars
Wego analysis showed that YoY international flight searches from the UAE are up 32.45%, signaling a robust travel appetite during Ramadan.
Egypt, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Philippines, Lebanon, Morocco, and Nepal are the most searched destinations from the UAE through the holy month.
The lineup features Ramadan mainstays that suggest homegoing trips, religious travel, and easy getaways continue to fuel UAE travellers’ intent during this time period.
All 10 destinations recorded healthy search growth this year, with standouts such as Nepal (+214.76%), and Pakistan (+82.65%) significantly outperforming last year’s numbers.
Rising airfares
The growth in interest is accompanied by rising airfares this year.
YoY flight prices to 9 out of 10 popular Ramadan destinations on Wego saw an increase, with Egypt (+42.29%) and Lebanon (+40.94%) among the steepest hikes.
Jordan remains the exception, offering a marginal 1.17% price drop compared to 2024.
Wego experts caution that prices may escalate further as Eid al-Fitr approaches.
Strategic early booking behavior
UAE travelers tend to plan ahead for Ramadan trips, with the majority of 2024 Ramadan flights booked over a month in advance – a trend expected to repeat in 2025.
Affordable luxury trend for Dubai staycations
Average Dubai hotel rates during Ramadan have plummeted 54.04% YoY, driving a 3% increase in local staycation searches on Wego.
Wego data also showed that 4-star hotels dominate preferences, accounting for 40.15% of bookings, as travelers prioritize quality and value.
