Arriving in Dubai: step by step

From plane to taxi — exactly what happens when you land at DXB.

Step by step

1. 1

   Follow “Arrivals / Passport Control”

   Signs are in English; head to the smart gates or counters.

2. 2

   Biometrics & eye scan

   UAE uses iris/face scanning — no paper stamp needed for most e-visas.

3. 3

   Collect baggage

   Check the screens for your flight’s belt number.

4. 4

   Green channel & taxi

   Use the green channel if nothing to declare; official taxis are outside Arrivals.
