By Mandari Travel
Planning a trip from the paradise island of Zanzibar to Dubai? Whether you’re traveling for shopping, business, or holiday, getting from the white sands of Zanzibar to the futuristic skyline of Dubai is easier than you might think — especially with the right travel guidance. At Mandari Travel, we help East African travelers plan smooth and affordable trips to the UAE. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to travel from Zanzibar to Dubai easily.
1. Choose the Right Flight Option
There are no direct flights from Zanzibar (ZNZ) to Dubai (DXB) at the moment, but there are multiple easy connecting flights available with top international airlines.
Recommended Airlines:
- FlyDubai (via Dar es Salaam or Nairobi)
- Qatar Airways (via Doha)
- Ethiopian Airlines (via Addis Ababa)
- Kenya Airways (via Nairobi)
- Oman Air (via Muscat)
Flight duration including layover typically ranges from 9 to 15 hours, depending on your chosen route and airline.
Mandari Travel can help you compare prices, layover durations, and recommend the best itinerary for your travel dates and budget.
