Full Body Checkup in Dubai: What's Included & Prices
A full body checkup in Dubai can cost AED 149 for a home blood panel or AED 6,800 for a hospital executive screening, and the two aren't the same product. One checks your blood. The other adds imaging, an ECG and a specialist consult. Here's what each actually includes, side by side, so you're not comparing a price without knowing what it buys.
Key Takeaways
- Full body checkup prices in Dubai span AED 149 to AED 6,800, and the gap is mostly imaging and consults, not just brand.
- A blood panel can't replace a physical exam; a hospital package can't be drawn at home.
- BestDOC's at-home panels run AED 149 to AED 699 (58 to 142+ markers), doctor-read.
- Fast 8-12 hours before any panel touching blood sugar or lipids.
- Choose imaging when a doctor flagged symptoms or you're over 40; choose a blood panel for routine tracking.
What does a full body checkup in Dubai actually include?
Most packages sold as a "full body checkup" bundle these blood tests: complete blood count, fasting blood sugar and HbA1c, lipid profile, liver and kidney function, thyroid, and core vitamins like B12 and D. Wider tiers add hormones, inflammation markers and cancer-screening tests.
Hospital "executive" checkups build on that same blood-work core, then add a physical exam, an ECG, sometimes imaging, and a consult to walk through the results, the layer a blood draw alone can't give you. CDC frames that combination, screening plus a clinician walking you through it, as the point of preventive care generally.
What to test shifts with age too, the panel tiers below already scale for it.
Full body checkup prices in Dubai, compared
No two providers sell the same thing for the same price, so read the "includes" column before the price one.
| Provider | Package | What's included | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| King's College Hospital Dubai | Executive checkup | Bloods, ECG, physical exam, specialist consult | AED 3,700-AED 6,800 |
| Medcare | Basic to Advanced tiers | Bloods, varying imaging by tier | AED 999-AED 5,399 |
| HealthChecks360 | Entry package | Core blood panel | from AED 475 |
| BestDOC (at home) | Core Health Check | 58-59 blood markers | AED 149 |
| BestDOC (at home) | Elite Health Check | 104-106 blood markers | AED 499 |
| BestDOC (at home) | Ultimate Health Check | 142-144 blood markers | AED 699 |
Each BestDOC package comes in a men's and a women's version at the same price, so you can book the same tier for yourself, a partner or a parent in one visit.
Competitor figures are from their own websites and change; confirm before booking. Aster, Emirates Hospitals and CMC list theirs only as "price on inquiry."

Hospital package or home blood panel, which do you need?
Choose the hospital package when a doctor has flagged symptoms, family history, or you're past 40 and due for cardiac or cancer screening; early detection improves outcomes for what imaging and a consult are built to catch. Choose a home blood panel for routine tracking, vitamins, sugar, lipids, no red-flag symptoms, at a fraction of the cost. An evidence review on comprehensive physical exams found limited proof a routine annual physical alone changes outcomes for low-risk adults, the case for risk-based testing over maximal testing.
Ahmed, 46, in Business Bay, wanted his annual bloods checked and a doctor's read on a persistent cough. He booked BestDOC's Elite Health Check at home, then a home GP visit two days later. Total cost: under AED 499 plus AED 300, well under one hospital executive tier, and he never left his apartment.

Getting a full body checkup at home in Dubai
A DHA-licensed nurse draws the sample at home, roughly a 20-minute visit, with a sterile single-use kit. A doctor reads the full report first, results are typically back within 24 hours.
Fast 8 to 12 hours beforehand for any panel touching blood sugar or lipids, water is fine. The WHO flags early detection of blood sugar problems as one of routine screening's clearest wins, one reason HbA1c sits in every BestDOC tier.
The coordinator confirms the price upfront, and every result lands in the same household file as the rest of your care, so a doctor reading this year's report can see last year's too. BestDOC's clinicians are DHA-licensed and signed off by the medical director. Meet the team behind your file →

The short version
A full body checkup in Dubai spans AED 149 at home to AED 6,800 in a hospital, mostly the physical-exam and imaging layer, not the blood work. Routine tracking is well served by a home panel; symptoms or an age-based screening need point toward the hospital tier. See BestDOC's full panel list and book a home draw →
