Maternity and Pregnancy Costs in Dubai
Price figures for antenatal care and delivery in the UAE, with what to ask a hospital and your insurer.
Who this is for: Expecting parents, couples planning a pregnancy, and families budgeting for a birth.
This guide lists published prices for 3 of 12 procedures and Zavis's indicative ranges for the rest in Dubai. Published prices on this page are the ones each provider lists on its own website, read on 14 October 2026. A listed price is not a quote: a package covers only what the provider says it covers, and the pages do not all say whether VAT is included. Confirm the price and what it includes with the provider before you book. The ranges marked indicative on this page are indicative figures compiled by Zavis. They are not taken from a published price list and are not quotes: each provider sets its own prices, so ask the clinic or hospital for a written quote before you book.

What to Ask and Check
- 1
Ask the hospital for its maternity package in writing, and what it includes: antenatal visits, scans, the delivery, the length of stay and the baby's first checks.
- 2
Ask what is charged separately, for example an epidural, a longer stay or care for the baby in a neonatal unit.
- 3
Ask how the price changes if a planned vaginal delivery becomes a C-section.
- 4
Ask your insurer whether your plan has a maternity benefit, whether a waiting period applies and what its limit is.
- 5
Ask your insurer whether the hospital is in your network before you register for the delivery.
- 6
Your doctor or midwife sets your antenatal schedule: the number of visits and scans differs from one pregnancy to another.
Insurance
Whether insurance pays depends on your plan. Ask your insurer what your plan covers and what you would pay before you book.
