Landing at 6:30am. Where should I take the Chauffer from EY to? The mosque or Dubai? And how should I plan out my day.

I land 6:30 leave at midnight.
Tomorrow?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I land 6:30 leave at midnight. I do plan on spending an hour or two at the Arrivals lounge first.

Go to Mosque on your way back to AUH, it's a lot nicer at night than day.

You got plenty of time, so why skip anything?

If anyone will be there in the next month, there is free access to Ferrari world. No access to rides but just to walk around and check it out.

We had a long layover a few months ago and enjoyed the Falcon Hospital tour.

It was touristy and expensive, but we showed up without a reservation and it was close to the airport.

Have a 6.5 hour stop in AUH (around 10:30 AM to 5 PM). Already seen the Grand Mosque.

What should we do with our time there?

Has anyone been to the UAE with an Israeli passport, or a US passport that says born in Israel?
Is it a problem?
