DXB - 9-10 hour layover

[drcam]

I am wondering is it possible to go to the city (eg Dubai Mall, Palm Jumeirah, Burj Khalifa) with a nine hour layover in Dubai. Bearing in mind I will probably want to have a bite at the lounge coming back for my connecting flight to Europe.

Do you know if the Dubai Metro gets anywhere near the airport?

Many thanks

Yes I've taken the Dubai Metro from Terminal 3 to the Dubai Mall during a similar layover. It was in summer and HOT! What month will you be there?

Late May. I expect it to be HOT. Is there aircon on the Dubai metro? When do the shops open in town?

I was there again in early May and it was already HOT but not steamy. At least there is aircon everywhere. I think most shops in the mall open at 10 am at the earliest.
