If EK won't sponsor such 'transit package', my only hope is to find a hotel that does? This system is very confusing
The "transit package" can be arranged upon arrival at DXB.

But try this: http://www.marhabaservices.com/engli...vices/citystop

Even if you don't use the service, maybe you can get some more info.
