Exploring Dubai Airport For Free Things To Do | The Travel Tips Guy 

South Africa and similar countries are great like that. Unfortunately in many western countries the main chains do not do halal food. However it’s slowly starting to change. For example in the uk many kfc branches are now halal. Hopefully it’s the trend. But yeah got to have a halal McDonald’s when abroad! 😂

Nice tip!

I always find that when flying east I always end up flying emirates as they seem to have the best prices therefore it’s inevitable that I’ll end up back at Dubai at some point.

With 6 hours I’d be tempted to exit the airport and explore the city.

I read the same but I couldn’t find it.

Check out my other video on how to get to Dubai from the uk for £29 one way. For hotels generally I start with trivago which is a good comparison site. But you’re right travel has become more expensive. Hoping this changes as the price of fuel eventually returns back to normal…hopefully.

Horse painting? I must’ve missed it. Which part of the video was that in?

After 4 minutes of the video.one can see it.

@@jamesbedukodjograham5508 found it. I didn’t actually notice it when I was at the airport. Nice spot 👍

Pretty much lol. Dubai is one of those cities that most of the activities cost money. There aren’t many free things to be done at the city either.

Thanks Ian. It’s really appreciated!

That was 104 AED. About £21. Quite pricey but normal for most airport food.

@@TheTravelTipsGuy awesome man thanks

Thanks for watching Idris!

Thanks!

@@TheTravelTipsGuy You are most welcome. I liked your comments that nothing was free and as my dear old grandfather used to say your best friend in life is your bankbook!!😊 He had had a very hard life starting work at the age of 12. If you have money in your bank book everybody wants to know you - as in Dubai airport but if you have no money they all want to disown you!! He said this in the early part of the 20th century and it still applies to the 21st-century as well - as you have pointed out!

I think medically you’d be fine. They have some of the best medical care in the world. However it’s not free or cheap.

@@TheTravelTipsGuy Is It not obvious that People travelling to Dubai ought to be concerned about Hospitals and health care in Dubai when going on there in the late 2019s.

@@TheTravelTipsGuy How much is the consultation cost in Dubai especially the issue of seeing a Doctor in the 2020s..

@@TheTravelTipsGuy It however means one should avoid certain types of Medical injuries and emergencies.

@@jamesbedukodjograham5508 it’s best you get travel insurance that includes medical cover before going to Dubai.

Hope you found a place. There’s a few sleeping pods available for hire in terminal 3.

I believe they take most international currencies like dollar, gap, euro. Not sure about Aussie dollars. If they do accept it remember they will give change back in AED.

Taste of India is in terminal 3 concourse C. There may be others but can’t remember. Have a look at the list on the Dubai airport website.

There is an area that has some fixed recliners but its not very cushiony so not sure if I'd class it as comfortable. If you want some comfort and don't want to spend too much then I'd recommend looking for a cheap way to get in a lounge. You can often get free passes with some credit cards.

if you are on an Emirates flight they provide a free hotel for any layover between 8-24 hours for economy and 6-24 for business and first class

@@Ali-MR980 So I thought.

@@Ali-MR980 Only if there was no earlier flight option. Sometimes the cheapest tickets have longer layovers therefore if there was an earlier flight with a layover of less than 8 hours but you chose not to take it due to price then you would t be eligible for the hotel. If I had 8 hours and it was daytime I would just exit the airport and visit the city.

@@Ali-MR980 mine is 9 hr 50 min and they’re saying it has to be 10 hr layover

You’d be surprised how all out Dubai go for Christmas. They have some huge tree setups. Ones big enough to rival those from new York.

@@TheTravelTipsGuy That makes sense... some of my Muslim friends here in Australia are better Christmas decorators that me haha. Might have to do Christmas in Dubai one day

Hope it helps! Thanks for watching.

Go with the cheaper option. Doha is still a good airport and is comparable to Dubai.

Never. There are many things that are against the law technically but nothing is ever done about it. For example VPNs are banned but it’s never enforced.

Yeah I'm from Birmingham. I probably was at the gym in one stop if you saw me.

@@TheTravelTipsGuy thats the one. That was you then. I was going to ask you but you had your headphones in.

@@dubbnlow You should’ve hello :). I was just watching something on low volume so would’ve heard you. Next time maybe 👍

@@TheTravelTipsGuy Inshallah i will next time. Your videos are good keep it up brother.

You can smell it while still on the plane on the runway?? 😂

Thanks for watching!

Yes you can charge your phone there. There are some benches but they won’t be very comfortable especially for 9 hours. I would recommend either using the terminal hotel or leaving the airport and exploring the city if you’re there at a suitable time of day and can make get visa on arrival.

@@TheTravelTipsGuy can't afford it I'm afraid so need to do the layover cheap as possible

Yes free visa on arrival. I think it’s valid for 30 or 90 days.

At least water is free! Lol. I do recall seeing water fountains.

Can’t remember seeing ports but there’s plenty at the airport. I think McDonald’s have the wireless charging pads.

Hi!

Hi!

Come again??
