DXB prepares to welcome 3.3 million travelers following summer vacation: Top tips for arriving guests

As residents return from their summer vacation, DXB, the world’s biggest international airport, is getting ready to welcome 3.3 million travellers over the next 13-day period.

With average daily traffic reaching 258,000 guests, August 26 and 27 are expected to be the busiest with culminated traffic of over half a million guests.

Dubai Airports is working closely with airlines, control authorities, and commercial and service partners to ensure a seamless airport journey for guests.

Here are DXB’s top tips for arriving guests:

  • Travellers between the ages of 4 and 12 can use dedicated passport control counters to independently stamp their passports upon arrival at Terminals 1, 2, and 3.
  • For those travelling with families, travellers over the age of 12 can use Smart Gates to speed up the passport control process.
  • Make the most of the DXB experience with various amenities in lounges, dining and shopping outlets, and duty-free.
  • The road through the airport could get busy during peak times. If possible, use the Dubai Metro, which has stations at DXB Terminals 1 and 3.
  • DXB offers a range of other transportation choices — hail an Uber, Careem, RTA Taxi, or rent a car.
  • Those picking up guests should use DXB’s designated car parks or valet services to receive their guests in comfort.
  • Access to the Arrivals' forecourts in Terminals 1 and 3 is limited to public transport and other authorized airport vehicles only.
  • Once in Dubai, visitors and returning residents can discover the beautiful Emirate through the city’s diverse attractions, cultural exhibitions, live performances, tailored family experiences, and more.
