You're welcome 😊 Also, if you think you'll be visiting Dubai again, make sure you sign up for smart gates when you present your passport to the immigration officer. Just tell them you would like to sign up for smart gates, and they will program your passport to be used on the automatic gates. They'll put a stamp on the back of your passport and you'll be good to go. It's all computerized, so you don't need to complete an application or anything. Takes less than a minute. Enjoy your stay!
