I am traveling in Business, so I'm assuming I will get to go through a fast track immigration line? (I have never arrived in Dubai on Emirates, only transited.) My friend is in Economy, but has purchased the Marhaba Bronze service to get through immigration faster.

Here's my question(s)....
1. If we aren't collecting bags, we will still get "fed" into the same area so we can meet up before finding the driver? I'm not familiar with the arrivals at DBX so I don't know if we'll even end up in the same immigration hall.
2. Do you think one of us will be significantly faster than the other (business class fast track vs. Marhaba)?
3. Would it be worth it for me to also purchase Marhaba bronze (about 30 USD) to use that instead?

Thanks! I'd appreciate any advice from people more experienced with the DBX airport.
Welcome to the EK forum!

I think the key question here is: What time is your flight arriving? That has a huge bearing on the answers above.
