Your layover at DXB Terminal 1
Terminal 1 handles most international airlines other than Emirates, with its gates grouped in Concourse D. Many passengers change between Terminals 1 and 3 airside — so check both your arrival and your onward terminal before planning time in the city.
Meeting your guide
We meet you in the Terminal 1 arrivals hall after immigration and customs. Your exact Dubai International Airport meeting point and your guide/driver contact details will be provided after your booking is confirmed.
Immigration and luggage
Leaving the airport means passing UAE immigration, which is subject to approval. If your bags are checked through to your final destination you can walk straight out with your cabin bag; if you must collect them, allow extra time at the carousel.
Departing from a different terminal
If you arrive at Terminal 1 and leave from Terminal 3, we drop you at Terminal 3. Tell us both terminals in your request — the return leg is planned to the terminal you depart from.
How close is the city?
Old Dubai and the Creek are a short drive from Terminal 1, which is why our shorter stopovers usually begin there. Downtown is a little further; traffic decides the rest.
Meeting point: Your exact Dubai International Airport meeting point and your guide/driver contact details will be provided after your booking is confirmed.
Terminal allocations change — always check your ticket or dubaiairports.ae.
