Visitor tips · save before heading out
- Start with your location in Dubai: street, building number, entrance or transit stop. Explain what happened and follow the operator’s instructions.
- Ask for language assistance. If your call does not connect, ask hotel, station or event staff to help you call.
- Save your accommodation address, travel insurer and your own embassy’s contact details offline. For a lost passport, contact your consulate; for immediate danger, call emergency services first.
- Agree on a meeting point with children. Keep communication or mobility needs and essential health information available to helpers.
