Quick Answer: How Much Does IVF Cost in UAE?

Standard IVF cycle in UAE costs AED 12,000-18,000 ($3,300-$4,900), including:

  • Initial consultations and assessments
  • Ovarian stimulation medications
  • Egg retrieval procedure
  • Fertilization and embryo culture
  • Embryo transfer
  • Early pregnancy monitoring

This represents 40-60% savings compared to the US ($12,000-$20,000) and 30-50% savings versus the UK (£5,000-£8,000).


Understanding the true cost of IVF treatment is essential when planning your fertility journey abroad. While the UAE has become renowned for world-class fertility care, many international patients are drawn by the transparent, competitive pricing that doesn’t compromise on quality.

This comprehensive guide breaks down every cost associated with IVF treatment in the UAE, compares prices with other countries, reveals potential hidden fees, and shows you how to maximize your investment in fertility treatment.

Understanding IVF Pricing in UAE: What’s Included?

Unlike many countries where IVF pricing can be opaque and confusing, UAE fertility clinics have moved toward more transparent, package-based pricing. However, understanding what’s included in the base price versus what constitutes additional costs is crucial for accurate budgeting.

Standard IVF Cycle: Base Cost Breakdown

A standard IVF cycle in a reputable UAE clinic typically includes:

Initial Consultation and Assessment (AED 800-1,500 / $220-$410)

  • First consultation with fertility specialist
  • Medical history review
  • Physical examination
  • Preliminary ultrasound
  • Treatment plan development

Most clinics offer free or low-cost initial consultations for international patients, which can be conducted virtually before you travel.

Pre-Treatment Testing (AED 2,000-3,500 / $545-$950)

  • Blood work (hormone panels: FSH, LH, AMH, estradiol, progesterone, TSH)
  • Infectious disease screening (HIV, Hepatitis B/C, syphilis for both partners)
  • Antral follicle count ultrasound
  • Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) or sonohysterogram
  • Semen analysis (comprehensive)
  • Genetic carrier screening (if recommended)

Many patients can complete some of these tests in their home country and bring results, potentially saving AED 1,000-2,000.

Ovarian Stimulation Medications (AED 3,500-8,000 / $950-$2,180)

This is often the most variable cost component, depending on:

  • Your age and ovarian reserve
  • Protocol type (long, short, antagonist, minimal stimulation)
  • Medication brands (generic vs. branded)
  • Dosage requirements

Medication Cost Examples:

  • Minimal Protocol: AED 3,500-4,500 (often sufficient for younger patients with good reserve)
  • Standard Protocol: AED 5,000-6,500 (most common for ages 30-38)
  • High-Dose Protocol: AED 6,500-8,000+ (may be needed for older patients or poor responders)

UAE clinics typically use the same medication brands available in Europe and North America, including Gonal-F, Menopur, Cetrotide, and trigger shots (Ovidrel or Pregnyl).

Monitoring During Stimulation (Usually included in base package)

  • Multiple ultrasound scans (typically 4-6 during stimulation)
  • Serial blood tests to monitor hormone levels
  • Medication adjustments based on response

In UAE clinics, these monitoring costs are typically bundled into the treatment package, unlike some countries where each scan is charged separately.

Egg Retrieval Procedure (AED 4,000-6,000 / $1,090-$1,635)

  • Anesthesiologist fees
  • Operating room charges
  • Ultrasound-guided retrieval
  • Immediate post-procedure monitoring
  • Recovery room care

The procedure itself takes 20-30 minutes, performed under conscious sedation or general anesthesia.

Embryology Services (AED 2,500-4,000 / $680-$1,090)

  • Sperm preparation
  • Fertilization (conventional IVF or ICSI)
  • Embryo culture (3-5 days)
  • Embryo assessment and grading
  • Embryo selection

Embryo Transfer (AED 2,000-3,000 / $545-$815)

  • Transfer procedure
  • Ultrasound guidance
  • Catheter and supplies
  • Post-transfer monitoring
  • Early pregnancy testing (blood hCG tests)

Follow-up Care (Usually included)

  • Post-transfer consultation
  • Pregnancy test interpretation
  • Early pregnancy ultrasounds (if successful)
  • Protocol adjustment consultation (if unsuccessful)

Total Standard IVF Cycle Cost

Conservative Estimate: AED 12,000-15,000 ($3,300-$4,100)
Average Estimate: AED 15,000-18,000 ($4,100-$4,900)
High-End Estimate: AED 18,000-22,000 ($4,900-$6,000)

The variation depends primarily on medication requirements and whether additional procedures are needed.

Additional Procedures and Enhanced Treatments

Many patients require or opt for additional services beyond the standard IVF cycle. Understanding these costs upfront is essential for comprehensive budgeting.

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)

Cost: AED 2,500-4,000 ($680-$1,090) additional

When Needed:

  • Male factor infertility (low sperm count, poor motility, abnormal morphology)
  • Previous fertilization failures with conventional IVF
  • Use of frozen or surgically retrieved sperm
  • Low number of eggs retrieved

Approximately 60-70% of IVF cycles in UAE use ICSI due to its higher success rates and reliability. Many clinics now include ICSI in their standard pricing or charge minimal additional fees.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A)

Cost: AED 8,000-15,000 ($2,180-$4,090) additional

Breakdown:

  • Embryo biopsy: AED 3,000-5,000
  • Genetic analysis: AED 5,000-10,000 (depending on number of embryos tested)

Benefits:

  • Screens embryos for chromosomal abnormalities
  • Increases success rates per transfer (especially for women 35+)
  • Reduces miscarriage risk
  • Enables confident single embryo transfer

PGT-A has become increasingly popular in UAE clinics and is particularly recommended for women over 35, those with recurrent miscarriage, or couples with genetic concerns.

Assisted Hatching

Cost: AED 1,500-2,500 ($410-$680) additional

When Recommended:

  • Women over 37
  • Previous failed transfers
  • Frozen embryo transfers
  • Thick zona pellucida observed

Embryo Freezing (Cryopreservation)

Initial Freezing: AED 2,000-4,000 ($545-$1,090)
Annual Storage: AED 800-1,500 ($220-$410) per year

Why Freeze Embryos:

  • Multiple embryos available from single retrieval
  • Ability to do multiple transfers without repeated egg retrievals
  • “Freeze-all” strategy for better uterine receptivity
  • Fertility preservation for future attempts

Most UAE clinics offer free storage for the first year, then charge annual fees.

Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) Cycle

Cost: AED 5,000-8,000 ($1,365-$2,180)

Includes:

  • Endometrial preparation medications
  • Monitoring scans and blood work
  • Embryo thawing
  • Transfer procedure
  • Pregnancy testing

FET cycles are significantly less expensive than fresh cycles since they don’t require ovarian stimulation or egg retrieval.

Surgical Sperm Retrieval

TESA/PESA: AED 5,000-8,000 ($1,365-$2,180)
TESE/Micro-TESE: AED 10,000-15,000 ($2,725-$4,090)

Required when sperm cannot be obtained through ejaculation due to blockages, vasectomy, or non-obstructive azoospermia.

IVF Cost Comparison: UAE vs. Other Countries

Understanding how UAE pricing compares globally helps you appreciate the value proposition and make informed decisions.

United States

Average IVF Cycle Cost: $12,000-$20,000 (AED 44,000-73,500)

What’s Included: Usually just basic IVF; medications often billed separately

Additional Costs:

  • Medications: $3,000-$8,000 (AED 11,000-29,400)
  • ICSI: $1,500-$2,500 additional
  • PGT-A: $3,000-$7,000 additional
  • Embryo freezing: $600-$1,000 + $500-$1,000 annual storage

Total Average US IVF Cycle: $20,000-$35,000 (AED 73,500-128,500)

UAE Savings: 60-75% compared to US prices

Key Differences:

  • US insurance rarely covers IVF (only 20 states mandate coverage)
  • Significant price variation between clinics (sometimes 200% difference)
  • Many US clinics charge for every scan and consultation separately
  • Geographic pricing differences (NYC/San Francisco cost 30-50% more than smaller cities)

United Kingdom

Private UK Clinics: £5,000-£8,000 ($6,250-$10,000 / AED 23,000-36,800) per cycle

What’s Included: Basic IVF treatment

Additional Costs:

  • Medications: £500-£1,500
  • ICSI: £1,000-£1,500 additional
  • PGT-A: £2,000-£4,000 additional
  • Embryo freezing: £350-£500 + annual storage

Total UK Private IVF Cycle: £8,000-£15,000 (AED 29,400-55,000)

UAE Savings: 40-60% compared to UK private clinics

Key Differences:

Out-of-Pocket After Rebates: AUD 5,000-10,000 (AED 12,000-24,000)

UAE Savings: 20-50% compared to out-of-pocket Australian costs

Key Considerations:

  • Medicare rebates only available to Australian residents
  • Still represents good value for Australians considering medical tourism
  • Quality comparable to UAE, but less availability of immediate treatment

Europe

UAE vs. Turkey:

  • Pricing very similar
  • UAE has newer facilities and equipment in most top clinics
  • Both offer good value and quality
  • UAE better positioned for Middle Eastern, African, and Asian patients

Money-Saving Strategies for IVF in UAE

1. Multi-Cycle Packages

Many UAE clinics offer significant discounts for purchasing multiple cycles upfront:

  • 2-cycle package: Save 10-15% (AED 3,000-5,000 savings)
  • 3-cycle package: Save 20-25% (AED 8,000-12,000 savings)
  • Refund programs: Some clinics offer partial refunds if unsuccessful after 3 cycles

Pros: Substantial savings, reduced stress about financing additional cycles
Cons: Higher upfront investment, money locked in if you succeed on first attempt

2. Shared Risk Programs

Some UAE clinics offer “money-back” programs:

  • Pay 150-180% of single cycle cost upfront
  • If no success after 3 cycles, receive 50-80% refund
  • If successful, no refund but peace of mind achieved

Best For: Patients with good prognosis who want financial protection

3. Travel During Off-Peak Season

Peak Season (October-April): Hotels 30-50% more expensive
Off-Peak Season (May-September): Better deals, though summer heat is intense

Savings: AED 2,000-5,000 on accommodation and flights

Medical Note: Treatment success rates don’t vary by season, so this is purely a cost-saving consideration.

4. Bring Tests from Home

Complete as many baseline tests as possible in your home country:

  • Hormone panels
  • Infectious disease screening
  • Semen analysis
  • Genetic testing

Savings: AED 1,000-2,500

Important: Ensure tests are recent (within 3-6 months) and from reputable laboratories. Your UAE clinic must approve this approach beforehand.

5. Choose Medications Wisely

Discuss with your doctor:

  • Generic vs. branded medications (20-30% savings possible)
  • Compounded medications where appropriate
  • Minimal stimulation protocols if suitable for your case

Potential Savings: AED 1,500-3,000

Caution: Never compromise on medication quality for savings. Discuss options with your doctor openly.

6. Consider Frozen Embryo Transfer

If your first fresh cycle creates multiple high-quality embryos:

  • Freeze extras for future attempts
  • FET cycles cost 50-60% less than fresh cycles (AED 5,000-8,000 vs. AED 15,000-18,000)

Long-term Savings: Significant if multiple children desired

7. Use Fertycure’s Negotiated Rates

Medical tourism facilitators like Fertycure have pre-negotiated rates with top clinics:

  • Package deals with accommodation
  • Discounted consultation fees
  • Bundled services (airport transfer, translation, coordination)

Average Savings: AED 2,000-5,000 plus added convenience and support

Payment Options and Financial Planning

Payment Methods Accepted

UAE fertility clinics typically accept:

  • Credit/Debit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express (3-4% processing fee common)
  • Bank Transfers: International wire transfers (check exchange rates and fees)
  • Cash: USD, EUR, GBP widely accepted alongside AED
  • Payment Plans: Many clinics offer installment options

Financing Options

UAE Bank Financing: Some UAE banks offer medical loans to international patients:

  • Interest rates: 5-8% annually
  • Repayment terms: 12-36 months
  • Requires minimal documentation

Home Country Medical Loans: Check if your home country banks offer international medical treatment loans:

  • May offer better interest rates
  • More familiar application process
  • Currency considerations

Credit Card Payment Plans: Some cards offer 0% APR on large purchases for 12-18 months:

  • Good option if you can repay within promotional period
  • Watch for foreign transaction fees

Employer Healthcare Savings Accounts: If available in your country:

  • FSA (Flexible Spending Account)
  • HSA (Health Savings Account)
  • May be usable for international treatment

Insurance Coverage

International Health Insurance: Some international insurance policies cover IVF treatment abroad:

  • Check policy carefully for fertility coverage
  • Understand limits and requirements
  • May require pre-authorization

Travel Insurance Considerations: Standard travel insurance won’t cover IVF, but can cover:

  • Trip cancellation if cycle must be postponed
  • Medical emergencies unrelated to IVF
  • Extended stay due to complications

Employer Coverage: Some multinational companies offer fertility benefits that can be used internationally:

  • Typically require pre-approval
  • May have preferred provider networks
  • Check lifetime limits

When Is IVF in UAE Worth the Investment?

The UAE represents excellent value when:

✅ You’re Paying Out-of-Pocket Anyway If your home country insurance doesn’t cover IVF, UAE pricing offers 40-60% savings with comparable quality.

✅ You’re Facing Long Wait Times UK NHS waiting lists can be 2-3 years. UAE offers treatment within weeks, and the “cost” of waiting includes:

  • Declining success rates as you age
  • Emotional toll of extended waiting
  • Potential for conditions to worsen

✅ You Want Latest Technology UAE clinics invest heavily in cutting-edge reproductive technology:

  • Time-lapse embryo monitoring
  • Advanced genetic screening
  • Latest laboratory protocols
  • Comprehensive testing panels

✅ You Value Comprehensive Care UAE clinics typically provide:

  • All-inclusive pricing
  • International patient coordinators
  • Language support
  • Streamlined processes
  • Luxury facilities

✅ You’re From Nearby Regions For patients from Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and Central Asia:

  • Short flights (2-4 hours typically)
  • Minimal jet lag
  • Similar time zones for work connectivity
  • Cultural familiarity for many patients

Cost vs. Success Rate: The Value Equation

When evaluating IVF costs, consider the cost-per-success metric rather than just cost-per-cycle:

Example Calculation:

US Clinic:

  • Cost per cycle: $20,000
  • Success rate: 55% (under 35)
  • Cost per success: $36,360 (if 2 cycles needed)

UAE Clinic:

  • Cost per cycle: $5,000 (including travel)
  • Success rate: 55% (under 35, equivalent quality)
  • Cost per success: $9,090 (if 2 cycles needed)

Savings: $27,270 for same outcome

The equation changes based on:

  • Your specific success probability
  • Number of cycles needed
  • Additional procedures required
  • Your age and health factors

Top UAE clinics achieve success rates matching Western standards at a fraction of the cost, making them exceptionally cost-effective.

Hidden Value: Beyond the Price Tag

When calculating IVF costs, remember that UAE treatment often includes intangible benefits:

Stress Reduction:

  • Dedicated international patient coordinators
  • No insurance battles or pre-authorization stress
  • Clear, upfront pricing
  • English-speaking staff throughout

Treatment Vacation:

  • Combine treatment with a comfortable stay in world-class destination
  • Modern, comfortable accommodation options
  • Activities and experiences during downtime
  • Partner can work remotely easily (excellent internet infrastructure)

Faster Treatment:

  • No waiting lists
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Efficient processes
  • Quick turnaround on results

Future Savings:

  • Frozen embryos stored affordably
  • Future FET cycles much cheaper
  • Established relationship with clinic for future needs

Making Your Decision: Is UAE IVF Right for You?

UAE IVF treatment makes financial sense when:

  1. Home country costs exceed UAE costs + travel (true for most Western countries)
  2. Insurance doesn’t cover treatment (common globally)
  3. Long waiting lists at home (UK, parts of Europe, Australia)
  4. Seeking latest technology and techniques (UAE clinics invest heavily)
  5. Value transparency and all-inclusive pricing (UAE standard practice)
  6. Need rapid treatment initiation (weeks vs. months or years)

The UAE may not be optimal if:

  1. Home insurance provides comprehensive coverage (rare but valuable when available)
  2. Significant health complexities requiring extensive pre-treatment (may need multiple trips)
  3. Strong preference for doctor continuity with local provider (legitimate personal preference)
  4. Unable to travel for 2-3 weeks (essential for fresh cycle)

Frequently Asked Questions About IVF Costs in UAE

Q: Can I pay in installments? A: Yes, most UAE clinics offer payment plans. Fertycure can help you explore financing options including installment payments spread over 3-12 months.

Q: Are there any hidden costs I should know about? A: Reputable UAE clinics provide comprehensive packages with all medical costs included. Additional costs are typically optional services (PGT-A, embryo freezing) or travel-related expenses (accommodation, flights). Always request itemized quotes.

Q: How much should I budget for medications? A: Medication costs range from AED 3,500-8,000 ($950-$2,180) depending on your protocol. Your doctor will provide an estimate after initial assessment based on your ovarian reserve and response prediction.

Q: Is IVF cheaper if I have twins? A: While twins mean two babies from one cycle, it doesn’t mean it’s “cheaper per baby.” Modern best practice emphasizes single embryo transfer to avoid high-risk multiple pregnancies. The focus should be on health outcomes, not cost per baby.

Q: Will my insurance cover IVF in UAE? A: This depends entirely on your insurance policy. International health insurance policies sometimes cover treatment abroad. Check your policy details and contact Fertycure for help with insurance documentation and claims.

Q: Can I claim tax deductions for IVF treatment abroad? A: Tax treatment varies by country. In some countries (like the US), qualified medical expenses including travel for medical treatment may be tax-deductible. Consult a tax advisor in your home country with your receipts.

Q: What if I need more than one cycle? A: Multi-cycle packages offer 20-25% savings compared to paying for individual cycles. If you have risk factors that might require multiple attempts, ask about these packages upfront. Even without packages, having frozen embryos from your first cycle makes subsequent attempts much less expensive (AED 5,000-8,000 for FET vs. AED 15,000-18,000 for fresh cycles).
