Arriving At The Airport
Upon arriving at the airport you will be amazed by the elegance and grandure that surrounds you – this airport is a true testimony to the sheik’s believe that everything in Dubai should be built to the highest possible standard.
Everything is clearly signposted from duty free to taxis . All airport staff are fluent in English and are only too willing to assist you with any enquiries you may have. Take time to look around at the amazing architecture and towering palm trees, as you will never see an airport like this any where in the world.
Upon disembarking the plane there is a long walk before you collect your luggage. Travelators are situated on the left hand side however a free buggy service is available. The buggy stop is situated prior to the travelators. Parents with small babies will not be able to collect their prams until they have reached baggage reclaim. Emirates provide a small pram as you disembark the plane and this does not have to be returned until you have collected you luggage.
Depending upon which hotel you are staying in, there may be a representative prior to passport control who will assist you and fast track you past passport control. The same can be said regarding transportation, specific hotels will arrange private transfers from the airport. Please confirm this with your resort hotel. However if you have neither a representative or transport provided do not panic as taxis are readily available.
Upon collecting your luggage you will notice a magnificent duty free shop. Please note you can buy 4 bottles of spirit each upon entering Dubai, you will then only be able to purchase alcohol in hotels and licensed premises which are mainly situated in the hotels, apart from the Irish Village. No supermarkets sell alcohol.
