Emirates customers have another reason to visit Senegal, famous for its hospitality – a free hotel stay in Dubai to break their journey.

To celebrate the launch of its new route to Dakar on 1 September, Emirates is offering First and Business Class passengers a complimentary stay at a leading hotel in Dubai, plus a free 96-hour visa when they book a return flight to the Senegalese capital.

First Class passengers will receive a free two-night stay at the five-star Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel, while Business Class travellers will be offered a one-night complimentary stay. The offer applies to return journeys taken by passengers travelling exclusively with Emirates between 1 and 30 September.

Emirates flies daily from Malta to Dubai via Larnaca, Cyprus.

The free hotel stay promotion can be used on the inbound or outbound leg of trips starting or ending in Dakar.
