Friends who transit through Dubai are much happier and can even get high after crossing the border.
Dubai International Airport comes from a "moat" city, with the world's largest double-decker Airbus A380 terminal and a series of entertainment and leisure services that will surprise you.
As the largest aviation hub in the Middle East, Dubai International Airport connects 8/kloc-0 countries on six continents and more than 270 cities. In 20 16, passengers from all over the world made 83.6 million choices, and Dubai International Airport became the most popular air transit hub in the world. But this is by no means a coincidence of 80 million passengers, but an inevitable choice for passengers under various quality services.
1, an important transportation hub
Dubai is located on the southeast coast of Arabian Gulf, connecting the centers of Asia and Europe. Therefore, Dubai International Airport has naturally become a major hub for Asian tourists to fly to Europe. At present, the major airline Emirates Airlines has opened flights from Dubai to 23 European countries. The existence of Dubai International Airport brings convenience to China tourists in particular. Domestic airlines only operate flights to some big cities in Africa, such as Nairobi, Cairo and Luanda. For some remote countries and cities, such as South Africa, Congo Gold has no direct flights. To go to these destinations, you have to choose a transit city, so Dubai has become a necessary choice for some passengers.
The UAE government has vigorously promoted Dubai to become an aviation hub, enabling Emirates to provide relatively cheap air tickets. Moreover, Emirates often offers preferential activities, starting from China with a minimum of 4,000 RMB to Europe, Africa and other cities. The advantage of fare allows passengers to accept connecting flights in Dubai instead of flying directly to their destination. In addition, the diversity of flight choices is also an important factor for passengers to consider. Take Beijing as an example. There are up to 35 flights to Dubai every day. Passengers can choose flights according to their own needs, which can save time and arrange their trips reasonably.
