Mexico travel questions

How do I fly from Dubai to Mexico?

Emirates serves Mexico City from Dubai with a stop in Barcelona; one-stop connections through major European hubs are also available. Cancun is reached with a short domestic flight or a one-stop international routing. Total journey time is typically 20 to 24 hours.

When is the best time to visit Mexico?

November to April is dry and warm on the Caribbean coast and comfortable in Mexico City. May to October is hotter and wetter, with the Caribbean hurricane season peaking in September and October.

Is two weeks enough for beach and culture?

Yes. A typical plan is four to five nights in Mexico City, two in Oaxaca or Puebla, then a flight to Cancun for six or seven nights split between the Riviera Maya and Tulum or Isla Holbox.

Can you arrange halal food or vegetarian meals?

We select hotels with suitable options and brief guides in advance. Seafood, grilled meats and vegetable dishes are widely available, and we can arrange private dining where needed.

Do you book all-inclusive resorts?

Yes. Cancun and the Riviera Maya have some of the best all-inclusive resorts anywhere; we book family, adults-only and luxury properties and advise honestly on which suit you.
