Heading to Dubai for IPL 2020?  

Lockdown blues? Guess what, you're not alone; but we have a solution, why not bring back some enthusiasm, some partying, cheering and fun by visiting Dubai for the Indian Premier League 2020.

As India's cricket heartthrobs fly to the Middle East, there's no reason why shouldn't travel too. Make the most of the UAE's travel bubble with India, in a year which probably had you believing that your suitcases would remain in storage and your passports unstamped. With India and the UAE announcing a travel bubble, as well as the upcoming cricket season, Dubai and Abu Dhabi now top our list of places to visit this year.

While you may not get to see them live in action in stadiums, book a few beautiful Airbnb homes where you and your homies can sit back after a day of sightseeing and shopping to watch your favorite T20 teams battle it out. Satiate your wanderlust and get close to all the cricketing action of the upcoming IPL season from these Airbnbs:
