Dubai Connect question
 
Hi all,

traveling in one month EK102+EK354 MXP-SIN.

We have 8hrs5min layover. Is Dubai Connect suitable for us?

We are also thinking to make a Dubai tour.
Is time enough to go outside, catch a taxi and ask for a tour and then back to airport?

Thanks

You don't mention what class you're flying in and this makes a difference to the Dubai Connect service.

If you're in Y, then I don't think you'll qualify as you could take EK102 followed by EK432 which would reduce the time between flights to < 8 hours.

Yes sorry.
We will be flying Y.

Ok, you are right.

Now question is: which is the best option to go to Dubai? Taxi and ask for a tour to most important places and wait for us?

Depends on your actual flights, but the time difference between your arriving flight and the earliest departing flight is 6 hours in case of F, J were as 8 hours for Y. More info here:

If it's during the day, get a taxi to the City Centre Mall, and pick up the Big Bus Tour. This does the sights in around 3 hours.

Alternatively, add taxi would be good option. It would cost around AED150 an hour I suspect.
