Depends what you want to do.

 

Bars in the airport are nice, but expect to pay 70 dirham a beer (but watch some who have a 100dhs min charge).

 

As to the rest loads of Starbucks and crowded over priced shopping.

 

If you have 10/11 hrs and feel brave, leave go outside (visa on arrival) and grab taxi to Dubai mall. About 25min away, as good as malls get.

 

Or taxi to deira creek for a walk and coffee. (maybe 20min)

I did think about going walk about but it will be night time and i'm already worried about missing my connecting flight. so i think i will be watching the board for 10 hours

Your never too old to enjoy life, I'm 41 in march and i am flying out the day after tomorrow to start a new life from scratch.

If it's what you want to do GO FOR IT

I am going to have an 10-11 hour stopover in Dubai, what currency will i need while i'm there and is it expensive. How much should i take to fill my time.

All the very best of luck mate.

Thank's Hoff, Hope it all work's out for you as well.

I will do my very best, Thank you

Thank's for the tip, i don't think they like the taste of me. I rarely get bitten even when everyone around me get's eaten alive.

Thank you all for your kind word's of support. See you all down under, and good luck to all who are going or coming back.

4 days to go and counting, i will be beginning my journey at this time. Exited but nerve's going a bit now.

Thank you Britchikx

And will be heading back down to Melbourne next year for a weekend at the f1

Hi Munchkinella,

I will be heading to Griffith Nsw.

I'm not shipping anything. And i will bring a coat(only to use when i holiday in England) I am a fair few miles from Melbourne, That was just the best option to drive from (i think).

So same applies as with other spiders then. AVOID. lol

Are the poisonous?

looking forward to it, Just in time for summer as well. Gutted to miss the windscreen scraping though. haha

Well that's it my flight is booked and i'm off, I will be flying from Birmingham to Melbourne next Thursday with a 9h 50mins stop over in Dubai. Then i have hired a car for a 4.5 hour drive to my final destination.

Thank you all for you advise through the whole process of applying for the visa and booking of flights, without all the good help and advise off the nice people on PIO i think i would have found it a lot harder and probably gone mad. So thank you all.

Good luck to all who are in the process and hope all you dreams come true.

I will still be around to offer my experiences to others that are in need of any help (if i can).

Thank you all again and good luck.

See you soon

Thank's RBP

Yes i'm still in sunny England. My first contact with the agent was 10th may this year

Hi RBP,

I'm not sure i have a job offer in NSW but my migration agent is in Perth. Whenever i ask questions i don't really get any answers if i email no answer at all if i call the answers are very vague.

Thanks for your reply Twiter,

After a dozen attempts i found out that my nomination has been approved although i still don't know any of the date's they were applied for or granted. I have been asked to provide certified doc's through the post.

Hi all,

Hope you don't mind me joining in? and everybody is well

My question, is it normal for migration agents to not keep you informed about the progress of your application
