Dubai Transit...yes..

Question

Hello...would be in Dubai on transit for 5&half hours. Is it possible to reserve a taxi and take it around for some time before it drops me back to the airport ? Would reach around 0645hrs and the next flight is at 1340hrs [this info is to guess the time of the day and the traffic jam..seems pretty obvious ]. Would be nice if some one could please suggest on the same. And moreover how much should the taxi costs...say for four hours. Thanks a lot in advance.

regards...

Answer 1

I'm not sure if you can leave the airport because i was there on transit before. but the airport has a lot of things to keep you busy like restaurant lounges where you can sleep lol and shops etc. but if you plan to take a taxi it shouldn't be too expensive because a pound is like 7 durhams (their currency)

Please visit the link giving below:

This link provides you with the taxi companies in Dubai, their contacts and tariffs.

Best thing to do may be to contact one of them by email and book a city tour. The driver will pick you up at the arrival meeting point. You can leave it up to the driver to give you a tour. Just let them know what you are interested in to see.

You only can do that if you are holding a british passport holder who can obtain a visa up on arrival. In case you have to apply for a transit visa the minimum stay in Dubai are 8 hrs.

Take care and have a nice time.
