Lowest fares from Toronto to Dubai
What to know before you book Toronto to Dubai
Emirates flies nonstop from Toronto to Dubai in about 13 hours. Air Canada has suspended its Dubai flights until at least the end of March 2027, so for now Emirates is the only nonstop. Dubai is also a major connection point: Emirates flies onward to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Africa and beyond, so a Dubai connection is often one of the cheaper ways to reach those places from Toronto.
When to go
November to March is the most pleasant and most expensive time in Dubai. June to August is very hot but usually has the lowest fares and hotel rates. During Ramadan, flights are often quieter, but some daytime dining is limited.
Stop over on the way
If you're flying to South Asia or Africa on Emirates, a stopover of a day or two in Dubai can usually be added to the ticket, sometimes for little extra.
From the airport
The Dubai Metro Red Line stops at Terminals 1 and 3 and is far cheaper than a taxi. A Nol card covers the metro, trams and buses.
Entry
Canadians get a free visa on arrival for tourist visits to the UAE. Your passport should be valid for at least six months.
