This week, the UAE Cabinet gave a green light for drafting a general policy to grant entry visas to transit passengers, keen to explore the country's landmarks and tourist attractions.
Passengers across airports in the UAE will be able to obtain entry visas. The new policy aims to enhance transit visa procedures to enable stopover passengers enjoy a day out in the country.
If you are in Dubai for a short layover, here are the places you must visit:
It might sound obvious, but heading to Dubai Mall would be a wise decision. Home to countless international brands, you could engage yourself in a plethora of activities: skating at the Dubai ice rink, playing with the penguins, clicking pictures with the iconic Burj Khalifa, watching the world famous Dancing Fountain and checking out some colourful marine life at Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo.RepostBy @faz3: "#Dubai #Burjkhalifa #Timelapse #Canon #???"

Interested in knowing what Dubai looked like decades ago? Head to Dubai Creek and The Al Fahidi Historic district to visit the museums and galleries and also take a ride in the traditional abras (boats) to beat the traffic.Wandered across Dubai Creek and Old Dubai via an Abra boat tryin' to catch a glimpse of the migratory birds. But it's summertime; they might have migrated to a colder place already. Lolz. Too late! #olddubai #abraride #mydubai #expatuae #theotherside #dubaicreek #travelwander #uaelife

If you are a beach bum, you might want to spend some time reading a book or sunbathing tuned to the soothing sound of the waves.
If you want to spend a day in the confines of nature without burning a hole in your pocket, head to the Dubai Safari. Home to more than 2,500 species of animals in the UAE, it is a treat if you love animals. Tickets are priced at Dh50 for adults.
If the weather is just perfect, you should plan an evening by Dubai Marina. With tall buildings, including the twisted 'Cayan Tower', you can stroll along the Dubai Marina Board, walk or take a traditional dhow and explore the area through the waterways.
When was the last time you spent some quiet time under the stars? A desert safari in Dubai is one of the adventures you can try if you have the evening by your side. You can enjoy some sand dune bashing in the 4X4 vehicles, click pictures with the camels and even camp out in the desert.
