The Good Stuff
Fast processing
Several reviews report quick visa turnaround, including one Dubai visa completed within 24 hours and another UAE visa completed within a day.
Detailed itineraries
Package planning can cover transport, hotels, attraction tickets and regional passes; one Europe itinerary included Swiss Pass and train tickets.
Trip support
A customer stranded in Dubai said the team kept exploring flight options through cancellations and rescheduling until they could return home.
Corporate service
Long-term corporate customers praise timely bookings, cost-conscious options and help with last-minute travel changes.
Tour flexibility
A Musandam tour review mentions a pleasant bus driver, while another tour review says the vehicle was quickly changed when its AC failed.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check baggage. Before paying, ask for the baggage allowance in writing; one customer was told 30kg was included, then asked to pay extra.
Demand confirmation. Do not assume payment confirms a booking. Ask for a confirmed ticket or written hold deadline, as one fare changed while processing was delayed.
Save evidence. For cancellations, keep call logs, emails and the case ID; a customer relied on timestamps to show the request was made within the required timeframe.
Ask safari timing. If travelling with children, confirm the camp’s dinner service hours before booking, since one review reports the counter closed early without notice.

The Bottom Line
Akbar Travels in Bur Dubai is a practical one-stop agency for flight bookings, visa applications and organised holidays. Reviews particularly point to hands-on document guidance: customers describe help with UAE, UK and USA applications, including checking requirements and preparing for appointment day. Some visa cases were reportedly completed within 24 hours or a day.
Its holiday planning is more than just tickets. Customers mention Georgia, Türkiye, Hong Kong, Thailand, Europe and USA tours, with arrangements covering airport transfers, hotels, guides and sightseeing. One Europe itinerary included Swiss Pass and train tickets, while a Türkiye package covered Istanbul, Cappadocia and a cruise.
Pilgrimage arrangements for Mecca and Madina also included visas, flights, hotels and transport. The main caution is after-sales support. Reviews report unanswered refund requests, hard-to-reach phone lines and booking delays that allowed a fare to rise from around 700 AED to around 1200 AED.
Confirm baggage allowances and ticket status in writing before payment, and keep emails and call records for cancellations. For desert safaris, ask when the camp dinner counter closes, especially if travelling with children.
