Emirates wants you to disembark for a little bit longer in Dubai. So, it’s helping you do just that by re-launching its Dubai Connect offer, which gives guests a complimentary hotel stay so they can experience the city for a few extra hours. Those transiting through its hub in Dubai can take advantage of the free hotel stay when their connection time exceeds 10 hours.

“With Dubai Connect, Emirates passengers will receive a complimentary night’s stay in a four or five-star hotel, ground transfers to and from the airport, meals at the hotel as well as UAE visa on arrival where required,” the airline explained in its announcement. “The service aims to provide customers whose best connection time is between 10 and 24 hours, a more convenient travel journey.”

As the airline also noted, Dubai is indeed still open to visitors, including its beaches, heritage sites, shopping, dining, and more. This means guests utilizing the longer layover can not only have a place to sleep during the stay but can also leave the hotel to explore more of what Dubai has to offer. (Just don’t forget a mask — no matter where you are in the world.)
