A travel day, so the day is kept light.

Leaving today: TripRai does not know your flight time, so this day is tentative: the places and lunch before the airport are optional, so skip them if the ride and check-in would be tight. Check out by about 11:00; confirm your hotel's actual check-out time and luggage storage availability. Allow time to collect bags before the airport transfer. Be at the airport 3 hours before an international flight; eat there only if there is time.

Before you go

To do

  2. Visa: check the current visa or e-visa rules for United Arab Emirates, which differ by nationality (India), and confirm your passport validity on official government sources. These rules change often, so we don't state them here.
