Which National Day 2026 package from Dubai fits you?
Start with money, dates and passport, not with photos. The public holidays are Wednesday 2 and Thursday 3 December 2026 (u.ae). Most Dubai offices turn that into 4 to 5 days off with zero annual leave. Every package on the National Day packages hub leaves from Dubai around that window. Georgia sits outside that seven-package board; see Georgia vs Azerbaijan for National Day if you are choosing between the Caucasus options.
How do the seven National Day packages on the hub compare?
These seven itineraries are the live National Day campaign board. Prices are twin-share starting rates from each itinerary page.

Final quotes move with seats, rooms and passport mix. Confirm every figure on the itinerary before you pay.
What about Georgia or Armenia for National Day?
Georgia from AED 2,999 is our lowest Caucasus price, but it is not on the seven-package National Day hub. Book it on the Georgia holidays page when budget beats campaign dates. Mapshore does not operate an Armenia National Day package this season. Travellers comparing Armenia usually look at Georgia or Azerbaijan instead; confirm Armenia visa rules on official sources before you plan around it.
Which package is cheapest on the National Day hub?
Azerbaijan at AED 3,099 is the lowest live price on the National Day board. Uzbekistan at AED 3,699 and Almaty at AED 3,799 follow. All three fit 2 to 3 December 2026 without extra leave for most rosters. Pick Azerbaijan for the shortest flight and mild weather. Pick Uzbekistan for Samarkand and bullet-train days. Pick Almaty when you want snow within four flying hours.
Which package fits a family with kids?
Almaty for snow with short transfers, or Baku for mild weather with flat walking routes. Both run 5 days and 4 nights inside the school break around 2 to 3 December 2026. Kenya works for families who accept early starts and long safari drives; Vietnam suits kids who handle a cruise day. Russia and Europe need more days and colder tolerance, so they suit teens better than toddlers. See family National Day destinations for the full family logic.
Are there fixed group departures?
Kenya shows a 30 November 2026 group departure and Vietnam shows 29 November 2026 on the hub when seats are live. Other destinations are on-request unless a departure chip appears on the package card. Message us with passport copies if you need the dated seat count before you pay.
Do these prices cover everything?
No. Package price covers what the itinerary lists: flights, hotels, transfers and the named tours. Visa fees, lunches and dinners outside the plan, personal spending and travel insurance sit outside unless the itinerary says otherwise. Ask for the written quote before you pay. It lists inclusions, exclusions, visa cost and payment terms in one place.
