Surviving Dubai International Airport is going to be a task.  Emirates’ Travel Tips for a Smooth Summer Journey. As Dubai International Airport (DXB) maintains its reign as the world’s busiest international hub, Emirates offers crucial travel advice to ensure passengers have a seamless experience during the bustling summer season.
