Dubai Hotels Fully Booked Ahead of COP28

Some hotels in Dubai have already been fully booked ahead of the high-profile global climate conference COP28.

Many hoteliers according to Khaleej Times said that bookings are already underway for the COP28 climate conference, so it is best to book early, as room rates will continue to rise. Additionally, November-December is the peak tourist season in Dubai, with high occupancy rates across the city as foreign visitors flock to enjoy the pleasant weather.

Other hoteliers in Dubai are confident that occupancy levels will peak during the global event, reaching 100 per cent across most of their portfolios located at strategic places in the neighborhoods of Expo City due to easier access.

So far, the night with the most bookings is unsurprisingly Saturday, December 2, which is National Day. Almost one in three of all hotel rooms in Dubai have already been booked for that evening – according to hotel analytics provider STR.

The 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) on climate change will be held at Expo City 2020 in Dubai from November 30 to December 12, 2023. 

It will be one of the largest and most important international gatherings of the year, with over 70,000 delegates expected to attend, including heads of state, world leaders, representatives from 198 countries, the European Union, and thousands of non-government organizations, companies, youth groups, and other stakeholders.
