Unless rules have changed recently, British passport holders need a visa.Originally Posted by Tiggers0608
Hi guys,
anyone experience a 6 hours stop over at Dubai airport or longer and can I go out of the aiport or nope?
is it worth going out?
Normally you'll receive a free 30 day visa upon presentation at an immigration entry point.
I've done it with friends waiting for me and driving me back to the airport on an 5 hour transit connection. It was rather tight after getting through immigration and returning to the airport to find large queues then progressing through security and immigration again.
Personally, I wouldn't do that again since most of the time was spent getting in and out.
Not exactly a relaxing time.
But with 6 hours transit time it might be worth checking on the current requirements and official timings for getting in and out without luggage.
I guess it depends what you want to do in the city.
As always a personal choice once you have the latest facts.
I would imagine security is much tighter these days.
