Message: <blockquote data-quote="PineappleSkip" data-source="post: 2306052" data-attributes="member: 9004">"These countries" is a reference to the previous paragraph[USER=3930]@Tiki[/USER] , on Aust passport I have always obtained visa on arrival entering DXB and IIRC they didn't distinguish bettween transit and tourist for these, I got 30 days even if entering for five hours. Transit generally refers to airside there. I found Deira souk a bit lame compared to Grand Bazaar, it would be low on my list. For that sort of thing I'd visit Dubai Mall which has its own souk, or Souk Madinat Jumeirah.OTOH for shop wandering It's easy to spend 14 hours airside in DXB terminal 1; it's about a mile walking from one end of the C gates to the other end of the B gates. You can also travel airside to and from A gates if you stick to the "connecting flights" signs and don't mind going through security again to get to and from A. There are plenty of people in blue t-shirts that can help and direct you.Cheers skip</blockquote>
