For many travelers around the world, the day after Thanksgiving has become more than just a date on the calendar. It’s a moment when the world collectively starts thinking about holiday plans, winter vacations, and spontaneous getaways.

Not sure what we’re referring to? Well, the leading travel agency in UAE, Next Holidays, is cooking something! Keep reading to find out!

The Origin of Travel Tuesday

Travel Tuesday began as a natural evolution of the shopping frenzy that follows Thanksgiving. While Black Friday and Cyber Monday focus on gadgets, clothes, and electronics, the travel industry needed its own day, a moment when wanderlust could take center stage.

Travel Tuesday thus quickly became the day when travelers hunt for activity deals, staycation discounts, and vacation packages, inspired by the spirit of holiday travel and the excitement of seasonal offers.

The concept worked brilliantly because it connected with a universal truth: travel is one of the most desired experiences people seek, especially during the festive season. Families, couples, and solo explorers all looked forward to this dedicated day to make their dream trips more affordable.

Over time, Travel Tuesday grew beyond the United States and became a global trend for savvy travelers who knew that early planning meant better savings and unforgettable experiences.

Travel Tuesday Comes to the UAE

Fast forward to 2025, and Next Holidays brings Travel Tuesday to UAE for the first time ever. This December, residents of the Emirates can experience their own Travel Tuesday Deals, where they have a weeklong opportunity to get exciting travel deals. One can now plan their next adventure with incredible savings.

From 2nd to 8th December 2025, UAE travelers can enjoy a flat AED 200 OFF sitewide on all bookings made via Nextholidays.com using the code TRAVELTUESDAY. It’s simple, straightforward, and perfect for anyone looking to explore destinations across the UAE and abroad. One can get discounts on activities, holidays, staycations, and even visa applications.

Why This Is a Big Deal for UAE Travelers

Until now, UAE travelers have had plenty of retail sales and end-of-season promotions, but nothing dedicated entirely to travel. Travel Tuesday changes that. For the first time, there is a day (or in this case, a week) specifically designed for those who live to explore.

Whether it’s a winter escape to Europe, a tropical getaway in the Maldives, or even a luxury staycation in UAE, this initiative makes travel more accessible and exciting. It’s not just about discounts; it’s about inspiring people to turn their travel dreams into real plans.
