If you don't want to risk having to quarantine for your entire holiday, Dubai also accepts negative PCR tests taken up to 96 hours before travelling.

Thankfully, you won't face any quarantine restrictions back in the UK, with the UAE on the travel corridor list.

Not only does the temperature stay at a balmy 26C on average during December, but many tour operators and airlines offer cheap deals and direct flights to the UAE city.

Flying from London Heathrow takes around seven hours non-stop while flights from Birmingham Airport takes between seven and eight hours direct.

Emirates and British Airways offer non-stop or direct routes, while other airlines in the UK offer flights with stopovers.

Emirates is even offering all economy travellers a free night at the JW Marriott Marquis Dubai, one of the world’s tallest 5-star hotels.

Any passengers booking the cheap flights to Dubai between December 2 and December 23 will have to fly between December 6 and February 28, 2021, to be eligible.

First class or business class bookings get an additional stay with two nights free at the hotel.

A stay at the hotel starts from £110, so the deal is a huge saving for anyone thinking of heading to Dubai for a holiday.

Celebs have also flocked to the region, including Love Island's Maura Higgins and Mollie Mae.

Ex on the Beach star Georgia Harrison and Towie favourite Amber Turner have also been spotted there recently, as well as Amber Davies and Ferne Mccan.

Popular holiday destinations such as Spain and Greece saw bookings soar during the summer, but quickly stopped when they were added to the UK quarantine list.

The Maldives has seen a boost thanks to its low case numbers and inclusion on the travel corridor list.

BA's January sale has bargain flights to the Maldives too.
