Dubai's luxury hotels, once primarily catering to affluent travelers, are now turning their attention to local residents. This shift comes as international tourism has been impacted by ongoing global conflicts.

The hotels are offering enticing staycation packages aimed at attracting residents who are looking for a getaway without leaving the city. These offers are designed to fill the gap left by a decline in foreign visitors.
