Dubai International has also issued guidlines for what to do if you’re travelling from Terminal 3.

  • If you’re traveling during curfew hours – you’ll need to be able to show authorities you have a confirmed booking.
  • Passengers will also need to show they have a genuine ticket to enter the terminal, and must arrive no earlier than four hours before their scheduled take-off. Body temperatures will be checked on arrival.
  • All passengers must wear masks and gloves, including children. Failure to comply with any of these requirements will result in you being denied access to the airport.
  • Social distancing rules apply throughout the airport building, and use of Smart Gates is only authorised for those with pre-approved passports.

Some retail and food outlets are available for take-away and dine-in, ‘air-side’ but lounges will remain closed until further notice.
