12 hour layover in Dubai

Twelve hours is a short city day. Choose a style (family, culture, food, relaxed) and let the plan set the pace.

Ideas that fit

• Old Dubai in the morning
• Beach or Dubai Frame mid-day
• Downtown Dubai at dusk

Rules of thumb

• Count the time from landing to leaving the terminal: immigration, bags and transport all take time.
• Be back at the airport well before your next boarding time. Check your airline's rule for connection check-in.
• Entry rules depend on your passport. Check the official transit visa page before you plan: GDRFA 48/96-hour transit visa.
