Dubai continues to set records in tourism and aviation. According to preliminary data, in the first 10 months of 2025, the city attracted 15.7 million international tourists, a 5% increase compared to the same period last year. In October alone, Dubai received around 1.75 million tourists, averaging 56,400 tourists per day. Dubai International Airport also shows outstanding results: in the third quarter of 2025, it served 24.2 million passengers, and the total number of passengers for the first nine months of the year reached 70.1 million. The total number of passengers is expected to exceed 95 million by the end of 2025, which will be a historic high in the airport's 65-year history. These achievements align with Dubai's economic agenda 'D33', aimed at strengthening the city's position as a global leader in business, entertainment, and quality of life. Dubai Airport is preparing for a peak travel season from November 27 to December 31, when over 10 million passengers are expected. This is linked to the holiday season and winter events in the Emirates.
