Connecting in Dubai
Flying YYZ-DXB-DAR later this month on AC. There is a 13 hour overnight layover in DXB. A couple of questions:
1. Are my bags checked through to the final desitnation or do I have to claim and re-check
2. Is there enough time to leave the airport and check in at an offsite hotel or do I stay at the hotel in the terminal ?
3. Do I need visa ?
As always, thanks for answering and recommendations always welcome !

The airport is only 15-20 minutes away from downtown.
