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:

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