I am planning for a Dubai Trip in Aug last week with my family (2+1) and would like to explore best possible options wherein I can maximize CC rewards and also make the best utilization of my existing reward points?. Any help/guidance will be hugely appreciated.
My current card fleet and rewards:

1. HDFC DCB - 63000 Points
2. Magnus - approx. 50K ER's (expected to come by 10th Aug)
3. SBI Prime Vistara card - Approved and can arrive any moment
4. 11K Marriot Bonvoy Points

P.S: Open to apply other charge card if the joining benefits can be utilized effectively for this trip.

Thank you in advance!

2 night stay at Lapita
3 night stay at Fairmont, sheikh zayed road
2 night stay at Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche

Yet to make bookings when my passport is renewed

I was looking at Element al Mina (Marriot) as I have most of the points in Marriot Bonvoy (AMEX),

What about the flights? I guess flights are the main confusion for me, like where to transfer points (Magnus) for Dubai.

What I’ve seen is from mumbai direct flights are not announced for more than two weeks (with normal price). In my case if I see Aug end, shows layover of 14+hours for cheaper flights but if I see immediate dates then I have direct flights shown at reasonable rates

There is another good property from Marriott: Four Points by Sheraton, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai close to Metro and many other attractions.
