Dubai, UAE – 16 August 2023:  As residents return from their summer vacation, DXB, the world’s biggest international airport, is getting ready to welcome 3.3 million travellers over the next 13-day period. 

 

With average daily traffic reaching 258,000 guests, August 26 and 27 are expected to be the busiest with culminated traffic of over half a million guests. 

Dubai Airports is working closely with airlines, control authorities, and commercial and service partners to ensure a seamless airport journey for guests. 

 

Here are DXB’s top tips for arriving guests:

• Travellers between the ages of 4 and 12 can use dedicated passport control counters to independently stamp their passports upon arrival at Terminals 1, 2, and 3

• For those travelling with families, travellers over the age of 12 can use Smart Gates to speed up the passport control process

• Make the most of the DXB experience with various amenities in lounges, dining and shopping outlets, and duty-free

• The road through the airport could get busy during peak times. If possible, use the Dubai Metro, which has stations at DXB Terminals 1 and 3

• DXB offers a range of other transportation choices — hail an Uber, Careem, RTA Taxi, or rent a car

• Those picking up guests should use DXB’s designated car parks or valet services to receive their guests in comfort. Access to the Arrivals' forecourts in Terminal 1 and 3 is limited to public transport and other authorised airport vehicles only.
