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.
Jesus! I'm a seasoned traveler, but I would never risk landing in a country without a hotel or guaranteed visa. Why risk ruining your vacation like that?
I've got 60 days to figure this out.
Thanks everyone for your feedback. If anyone else has more information, I'd appreciate it?
