Left DXB on July 30 and used E-gate no problem
Returned August 13 and "Accessed Denied" went to counter and passport was stamped-- I asked if there was a problem and he said to speak to the e-gate people-- itwas midnight so I will do it thie week when leaving for JED. I do not have residency visa but am visa waiver country. It "could" be that my passport was due to expire in 3 months and 7 days and they wanted to check? It is now extended so I will have to visit them anyway.
