Quick question for DXB regulars
Hello everyone - I need a quick tip from those who know Dubai and its airport well. I'll be transiting in late August with my wife and three young kids, and we have a 20-hour layover (on purpose). We arrive about 13:00 and depart next morning at 09:00. The question is, should we stay in the airside hotel in the terminal, or is it worth braving the immigration queues (and check-in queues on the way back) and heading out to a nice hotel in Dubai?
We won't have time or energy for any sightseeing, just want a chance for the kids to have a run around, a swim, and a proper sleep.
Thanks (hotel suggestions welcome too).
