Russia

Russia Tour Packages from UAE

Moscow's Red Square sits inside a country that spans eleven time zones, and less than three hours south by flight, Sochi trades onion domes for a Black Sea coastline backed by the Caucasus Mountains. Makani's Russia tour packages from UAE cover hotels, transport, and a full route between the two, with Arabic-speaking support from booking to landing. Whether it's a short Moscow city break or one of our longer Russia tour packages that adds the coast, the plan is built around what you actually want to see.

Our Russia Packages

A Moscow-only trip runs on architecture, museums, and the Kremlin, while adding Sochi trades a few of those days for Black Sea coastline and mountain air. We build each route around how much time you have and whether the coast is actually part of the plan, not a fixed add-on tacked onto every package.

Moscow and Sochi are a different kind of trip entirely, city history against coastal mountains, and a short flight apart. Tap into either one to see hotels, packages, and things to do built specifically for it.

Why Makani

Why Book Your Russia Holiday with Makani

Most foreign bank cards, including UAE-issued ones, don’t work inside Russia because of current international banking restrictions, and visa-free entry still requires registering through the RuID app at least 72 hours before arrival. Makani handles that registration and currency planning as part of the booking, not as a surprise found out about at the border.

The Only Gold-Classified Agency in the UAE

Makani holds the UAE Department of Tourism’s Golden Classified Certification, backed by 22 years of hands-on experience arranging trips for UAE travelers.

Direct Partnerships, No Middlemen

We contract directly with hotels and airlines, so you’re not paying for extra commission layers baked into a generic booking site.

A Route Planned Before You Book

Every Russia itinerary accounts for entry registration, cash requirements, and transfer times before a single night is booked.

FAQ

UAE citizens (Emirati passport holders) can enter Russia visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period under a bilateral agreement, but registration through the RuID app is required at least 72 hours before arrival to generate an entry QR code. UAE residents holding other nationalities need either an e-visa, available to over 55 nationalities for a 30-day stay, or a standard tourist visa arranged through a registered Russian tour operator.
May to September offers the mildest weather in Moscow, while Sochi's summer season runs from May to October along the Black Sea coast. Winter turns Sochi's Rosa Khutor into a ski resort, while Moscow's winter regularly drops below freezing.
The official currency is the Russian Ruble (RUB). Most foreign bank cards, including UAE-issued Visa and Mastercard, do not work inside Russia due to current international banking restrictions, so cash exchanged on arrival is the main way to pay throughout the trip.
Russian is the official language. English is limited outside major hotels and tourist sites in Moscow, and even less common in Sochi, so a guide or pre-arranged transport matters more here than in most destinations.
Moscow and Sochi are generally calm for everyday tourism, with standard precautions around pickpocketing in crowded areas like the Metro. Travelers should check their home country's latest travel advisories before booking, since guidance on the wider region can change.
Red Square, the Kremlin, and Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, along with Sochi's Olympic Park and Rosa Khutor ski resort, rank among Russia's most visited sites.
Moscow has a continental climate with cold winters that regularly drop below freezing and mild summers around 20°C to 25°C. Sochi is milder year-round, with warm summers near 30°C and cool, occasionally snowy winters in the mountains just above the coast.
