We strongly discourage our guests from leaving the Airport and entering into the Dubai City, however if you must, then this would depend upon the following:
If you are a citizen of a country that doesn’t require a pre-approved visa to enter the country, then you can go exit the Airport.
Returning back inside is however only possible if you check in for your departure flight. This depends on your departure Airline and the times that they allow passengers to check in.
Passengers travelling on Emirates Airlines for their onward journey can come back into the Airport and the Hotel about 24 hour prior to departure time, as most Emirates Airlines flights open their check in counters 24 hours prior to flight departure time. However passengers travelling on Emirates Airlines to destinations in the USA or Canada can only check-in 3 hours prior to flight departure time.
Passengers travelling on other airlines can also only check-in 3 hours prior to flight departure time.
Once you have checked in and have a boarding pass, you can then proceed to enter the Airport, thus access our Hotel.
We however advice our valued guests to please reconfirm this information with your respective Airline, as check in times could vary due to Airport Operational requirements.
