Upon arrival at Dubai airport, before going through passport control, the tourist must go through the scanning procedure
retina - we were not lucky and we stood for an hour and a half in order to undergo this procedure.
The retinal scan can be done by presenting a copy of the visa to the competent airport staff.
After passing through these formalities, the tourist can go to the passport control point,
then get your luggage. After passing all the formalities, at the exit from the airport building you will be met by
a representative of the host company with a sign (we had Arabian Adventures) Representatives of the companies are located only outside the airport building.

In general, everywhere you can pay in usd, but change will be given in aed. Even at the grocery store. As a rule, the exchange in this case is 3.65;
As for me, at the airport, the course was clearly underestimated, if there is no acute
the need to change immediately - do not rush, you can change later. And better - in the mall.
