Will I make it on time to my excursion in Dubai?
I am flying from Delhi to Dubai with my flight arriving at 1:00 p.m. I have an excursion pick up from my hotel (Coral Dubai Deira Hotel) at 3:40 p.m. Would I be able to make it in time for the pick up at my hotel, or is it cutting too close?

I'm flying business class and will be using Emirates' chauffeur service if it makes a difference in terms of how quickly I can get out of the airport.

Thanks

You can probably have a nap in the hotel before you go...

Is it really that quick to get out of the airport there from an international flight?

I've been in a car 15 minutes from at the gate, so yes - but you'll probably take 30-45 minutes as that needs very specific gate assignment, e-gate access and no luggage.

Without e-gate and depending on baggage, you should be out of the airport in 30-60 minutes. Deira is about 15-30 minutes from the airport, so you have more than enough time before your excursion pickup.
