DL 008 landed on time as scheduled 1940. Most websites will advise you that you pay for an entry visa of $57 for Dubai. it is actually FREE.... No hassles in customs, taxis are abundant and they are metered starting at 25 UAD (7 USD), all belong to one company contracted to the airport; safe and reliable. Current exchange rate to US Dollar is 3.6, so taxi ride from Airport to my Intercontinental Hotel Festival city is $14. My hotel is attached to Festival City Mall, a 2 minute walk to the marina and with gorgeous view of Burj Khalifa, currently the tallest building in the world.
