There is a Marhaba service, it costs $ 45 per person, you will be met and taken out of the queue. In general, if you do without it, how lucky. There may be a few people, but if suddenly several flights are late, then the queue for an eye scan will be long. Passport control - there are a lot of windows, the scan takes the longest time.

There is no other. Even if you push the entire queue for a scan and go earlier, you will still be waiting for other less arrogant tourists to board the bus to the hotel. Without a scan stamp on the A4 sheet with a visa, you cannot go through passport control.

Less arrogant - that's just me. Therefore, I would like to find out where to go immediately, so as not to waste time.

If you arrive at terminal 1, then at the end of the moving walkway you will find yourself in the scan zone, it will be on the left. There will be 3-4 operators in white national konduras - a queue will line up for them. After the scan, immediately go up the escalator to passport control. Then go to the right to the baggage transporters. From them to the exit, along the way there will be duty free. Everything is simple in Terminal 1, don't get lost. Here is number 2 of the Emirates huge, it will be more difficult there.

And another observation from personal experience. Get in line at check-in and at passport control for men. Women are very slow and roam longer, asking neighbors-colleagues again. Either they are reinsured, or inexperienced, this has been verified repeatedly. Have a good trip and a pleasant stay.

The longest time was on retinal scanning - we had many flights at the same time and there was a crowd. At first, only 3 scanning points were opened (scan area to the left of the escalators, do not climb them yet!), People gathered - crowds! Gradually begin to open additional points, you can borrow in several places at once, and to pass - husbands to wives, etc. We ran so fast, we managed in 1 hour. It’s very fast to go up the escalator to passport control. And it’s not true that everyone is still waiting for everyone at the exit. by bus. And the hotel is very close.

I advise tourists not to wait for the hotel bus, but to take a taxi and get to the hotel in a few minutes. They took us to the Grand (according to the counter 70 or 80 dirhams), and the hotel bus was late at first, and then, when we got on the bus, we accidentally found out that we would be waiting for passengers from the next flight ....

And we had everything quickly and very quickly. I advise you to use the hotel bus, besides, the transfer was included in the price of the tour. After passport control, everyone gathered for the bus in 5-10 minutes. The bus was waiting for us in advance and we did not expect any other flights.

You are lucky :), but the guides told us that it happens like with us, especially on Fridays, when they have an official day off. And in the case of us, all the tourists who flew with us to this hotel (and there were 15 of them) traveled by taxi. The bus was empty waiting for the next flight.

Again, it's everyone's choice. Take a taxi or wait for the bus. I don't think you had to wait for the bus for several hours. Or you were unlucky.
As well as to Dubai from the hotel every day we traveled by free bus and returned to the hotel with it in the evening.
And someone wanted to use the services of a taxi. Whoever likes what.

By the way, we flew back on Friday, there were no problems with the bus from the hotel (as well as to the hotel).

That's it, what we waited for several hours (collected 3 flights)!!! And we went back on Friday without any problems on the bus, but I want to note that there was very little time for shopping at the airport (about 20 minutes), because they brought it a bit late ... And this is a MINUS :)

Irina 126 and Ira. What is true and what is not true is not up to you or me to decide. My answer was based on 6 years of experience visiting my UAE. Do not confuse everyone. I meant tourists traveling to ONE hotel on a paid tour. They waited. As for taking a taxi: for your money - everything is for you. Just warn, pliz, about this meeting party. You are welcome. You have bought a tour package. There is a shuttle there. We decided to leave ourselves - inform the travel agency so that they do not wait for you. Thank you.

BOOT, already annoyance :)) Why be nervous? Do not pretend to be a smarter person than everyone else, be simpler. I wasn’t going to argue with you. I’m just stating a fact, madam tourism manager. Your UAE will never be :) is the "travel agency" here if the host did not work quite correctly?! Yes, we are not offended by them. It's just that the representative of the host should have warned the tourists about the overlays and the tourists would have decided for themselves whether to wait a few hours for a free transfer or go by taxi and relax after flight. Nerves must be protected !!

Oh! How many unsolicited advice and answers to unasked questions ... And a statement of fact! Some kind of just a stream of emotions. I don't have the time or desire to continue talking to you. The author of the question is satisfied, I wish him a happy trip to my Emirates.
