8 hour layover in Dubai

Eight hours gives room for one main area and a proper meal. Leave the city early enough to clear security.

Ideas that fit

• Downtown Dubai: Dubai Mall, fountain, Burj Khalifa
• Jumeirah Beach and a coastal walk

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.
