8 Hour Lay Over In Dubai

[jhenry1]

We are going on a cruise to Africa and flying Emeritus from the US with a 8 hour layover in Dubai and want to do a tour of Dubai during that time.  Does anyone have a local tour operator to contact that will pick us up at the airport and return us?  How difficult is it to depart and then return to the airport and are any Visas needed to do this?

 

Thank You

Try Arabian Adventures as they are the inbound local tourism arm of Emirates.  I feel certain they have an office/desk in the Arrivals hall of T3 at Dubai Airport so they should be able to arrange something for you with airport pick-up and drop-off.  If you are travelling on full USA passports then a visa isn't an issue as the US is part of the visa waiver programme and you are entitled to a visit visa on arrival...
