For many travellers on long-haul flights, the UAE is a halfway point. And when you've got a few hours in Dubai or Abu Dhabi — don't miss the chance to experience a slice of the Emirates.
Airports in the country make every effort to create a convenient, seamless experience for travellers. With smart gates and home check-ins, passengers could breeze through flight procedures — and for those transiting, authorities go the extra mile to make the pit stop worth it. Just make sure you have a transit visa, unless you're exempted from the requirement. (Here's a guide to getting one.)
Travellers who are stopping over the UAE can explore the destination bag-free. No one has to lug five suitcases around town while taking selfies at Downtown Dubai's Burj Khalifa or the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
