Dubai International airport (DXB) is gearing up to welcome a surge of passengers as residents fly out of Dubai at the end of the holy month of Ramadan and through the Eid Al Fitr holidays.
Some 1.9 million travellers are anticipated to pass through DXB between April 29 and May 9 with average daily traffic exceeding 177,000 passengers. May 7 is expected to be the busiest day with passenger numbers surpassing the 200,000 mark.
As always, Dubai Airports is working with airlines, control authorities, and commercial and service partners to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for all customers.
Those travelling during this peak period can make their journey smooth and comfortable by following a few simple tips:

>Travellers over the age of 12 can use Smart Gates to speed up the passport control process.
