Friends who pass through Dubai are much happier, and they can get high after crossing the border.
Dubai International Airport, a city from the moat, has the world's largest double-decker Airbus A38 terminal and a series of intimate entertainment and leisure services, which surprises you.
As the largest aviation hub in the Middle East, Dubai International Airport connects 81 countries and more than 27 cities on six continents. In 216, passengers from all over the world made 83.6 million choices, and Dubai International Airport became the most popular air transit hub in the world. But this is by no means a coincidence of 8 million passengers, but an inevitable choice for passengers under various quality services.
1. An important transportation hub
Dubai is located on the southeast coast of Arabian Gulf, connecting the centers of Asia and Europe. Therefore, Dubai International Airport has naturally become the main hub for Asian tourists to fly to Europe. At present, the main carrier Emirates Airlines has opened flights from Dubai to 23 European countries. The existence of Dubai International Airport has brought convenience to China tourists in particular. Domestic airlines only open flights to some big cities in Africa, such as Nairobi, Cairo and Luanda. For some remote countries and cities, such as South Africa, there are no direct flights between Congo and Kinshasa. To go to these destinations, you have to choose a transit city, so Dubai has become a necessary choice for some tourists.
the UAE government has vigorously promoted Dubai to become an aviation hub, enabling Emirates airlines to provide relatively cheap air tickets. Moreover, Emirates often offers preferential activities, starting from China with a minimum of 4, RMB to Europe, Africa and other cities. The advantage of fare allows passengers to accept connecting flights in Dubai instead of flying directly to their destination. In addition, the diversity of flight choices is also an important factor for passengers to consider. Take Beijing as an example, there are as many as 35 flights to Dubai every day. Passengers can choose flights according to their own needs, save time to the greatest extent and arrange their trips reasonably.
2. Loose visa policy
Instead of enduring a long transit time, why not go out of the airport and go to Dubai, a pearl in the desert?
from November 1st, 216, citizens of PRC can enter the UAE with ordinary passports, without applying for a visa in advance, and there is no charge for entry. The stay period is 3 days. According to the relevant regulations of UAE, you can also postpone payment once and stay for another 3 days!
From then on, the flying friends finally got a good chance to relax after a boring long flight. After a day's rest, you can visit Burj Dubai, the tallest building in the world, watch Palm Jumeirah, the eighth wonder of the world, take an off-road vehicle into the Arabian desert and start a mysterious journey of foreign culture.

4. unexpected and impossible airport leisure and entertainment service
if the transit time is short, don't worry! Because even if you don't set foot in Dubai International Airport, the service facilities here are enough to meet all your requirements for "entertainment and leisure"! Between two grueling long-distance flights, the best thing to bring you back to life is a good sleep. Whether it's a high-end Dubai International Hotel (located in T3), a sleep warehouse full of design, or a closed and independent private space, the Sleeping Cube can satisfy your sleepy head.
besides, sauna, fitness and SPA are still not dreams here. In the Health Club in Hall B of T3, you can enjoy a gym, a hot swimming pool, a sauna, a shower room and a changing room at a price of just over 1 dirhams. Dubai International Hotel, located in Area C of T1, provides spa services for guests to relax their tired bodies.
Shopping is also one of the essential courses for connecting flights at Dubai International Airport. Dubai has a tax-free policy, and many world-renowned brands are very cost-effective, including cosmetics, watches and other goods, which are very popular. In addition, the release time of different luxury goods varies from region to region, and Dubai often gives priority to China to release new products. For luxury goods that pursue fashion trends, Dubai Duty Free Shop is more attractive. Duty-free shops in Dubai are also a good place to buy hand-in-hand gifts. Perfume, dates, chocolates and other local specialties are worth buying.
at the same time, the food here can't live up to it. Most airport food is mainly fast food, but Dubai International Airport can not only enjoy authentic Spanish snacks and Irish flavors, but also exquisite French desserts. If you want a cup of coffee, Costa Coffee Shop at Dubai International Airport is a good choice. You can choose a cup of coffee with the Mona Lisa floral pattern. The barista uses a special brush and spends 3 minutes on frothy cold milk to make a cup of high-value coffee for you.
Dubai International Airport will also hold an art exhibition "artDXB" on a regular basis to present local and international works of art to millions of tourists, so that they can enjoy a cultural feast while traveling.
