I wouldn't take the risk. 5 hours is a bit too short and you might miss your onward flight.

If you have any relatives, you can call them at the airport and spend the 5 hours with them in one of the coffee shops or restaurants.

^ not a bad idea.. but if ur on terminal 3, u get thru the immigration so fast... that i think u can go out sumwhere.... but not to far from the airport.

Deira City Centre, or Festival City, both are not too far from the airport, loads of shops and cafe's

I used to do that all the time. Take my camera, go plane-spotting!

On topic though, five hours is kinda tight. You could easily spend a couple of hours browsing the transit lounge and stuff. You are a girl after all 'eh. If you want to chance it, check out Bin Sougat Shopping Mall towards Rashidiyah, grab some Baskin Robbins, browse the shops, etc... Although its kind of a small mall, won't be much different to the duty-free.

You could easily check out Deira City Centre as well. Not too far, definitely accomplished within five hours.

Kinda late really unfortunately

I'll advise you to carry a book, magazine, etc... Spend some time in the airport duty-free/transit lounge, etc... and then kick back with the book/magazine...

Perhaps next time you can stay for longer and see a bit more of the city

lol true say... Oh well, I'm sure you'll find something to do!

Yeah, they've got free wifi at the airport but you'll have to find a good spot. All the best!

yes, people don't realize its so much fun and its knowledge helps you a lot in travelling. getting there is half the fun and plane spotting indeed is fun

Most of the shops at Deira City Centre will be open until 10 PM. If it's a weekend, then it even goes until midnight. But as I said, 5 hours is very tight and if I was you, I wouldn't go out.

Kinzz · Oct 5th, 2009, 10:46 AM
