Luxurious Layover – Here Is One More Reason Why You Should Be Flying Through Dubai For All Your Trips

The transit visa packages that Dubai offers have just gone up one notch from being cool to uber glam. With transit halts ranging from 8 to 96 hours and a detailed itinerary being given to transit passengers, it’s a phenomenal incentive for tourists to get a sense and feel of what the city of Dubai is all about. If this wasn’t enough, Dubai International Hotel, the airport’s very own in house luxury hotel has made these transits hugely attractive with their luxury transit stay packages. Here’s what you need to know.

Lo and behold the short and long transit packages

The short package (up to 12 hours) is true value for money and costs you only Dh 500 for single occupancy of a deluxe room, Dh 560 for double occupancy and Dh 660 for triple occupancy. The long transit package (up to 24 hours) starts at Dh 650 for single occupancy, Dh 850 for double occupancy and Dh 955 for triple occupancy.

The deluxe rooms are just out of the world

Wrap yourself in exquisite comfort as the deluxe room comes with personalised service to ensure that you have the best stay possible. These rooms come equipped with flat screen TVs for viewing pleasure, mini bars, free Wi-Fi, tea and coffee makers and ironing boards. You get a complimentary fruit basket, a complimentary buffet breakfast and an enviable a-la-carte menu with eclectic dishes.

Ahlan meet and greet services

As a part of the long and short transit package, you also get to enjoy the Ahlan meet and greet services to make your stay more enjoyable, especially for first time travellers who tend to feel a little lost. Experienced service staff ensures that you get your fill of food and refreshments at the Ahlan lounge while your immigration formalities get taken care of. Costs are AED 150 per passenger and also include porter service. Flowers/chocolates and group discounts are available on request at a separate cost.

Express treatment from the Timeless Spa because you deserve it

The transit packages have left no stone unturned to ensure that you are treated like royalty. If you are tired and jet lagged, book yourself at the Timeless Spa for a rejuvenating massage that revitalizes the body, mind and soul. The Timeless Spa specialises in a wide range of beauty and massage therapies, that are based on a fusion of healing practices and are reminiscent of Dubai’s open minded and cosmopolitan culture. The spa operates from three different sites at terminal 3.

3 Course meal - The Gallery

The long transit package means you are stopping at Dubai for 24 hours or more. The airport also offers you a fabulous three course meal at The Gallery. So, when you want to enjoy the perfect breakfast in fine spirits, Gallery is the place to go to. These are quality ingredients put together by great chefs who understand the worth of your money.

3 hour private transit tour

If you have a layover of only a few hours and are on a tight schedule, Dubai airport also offers a private transit tour. You can enjoy a pick and drop service as per your flight details. Take a tour along the 16 lane Sheikh Zayed road, see the magnificent Burj Khalifa and the Burj Al Arab and if you still have time explore some of Dubai’s pristine beaches.
