Dubai requires every guest of a holiday home to be registered with the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET).

  • A passport (or Emirates ID) for each guest at check-in
  • The main guest must be 18 or older
  • Check-in from 15:00 and check-out by 11:00, unless the listing says otherwise
  • Keys are handed over in person, through the building concierge or by smart lock

House rules

Quiet hours are generally 22:00 to 08:00, parties and events are not allowed without written approval and smoking is not allowed indoors. Each listing shows its specific rules.
