Dubai has become a hot travel destination and Emirates is regularly at the top of lists for service aboard its flights. The airline offers up to three days in Dubai with a stopover package for those connecting via the more than 150 cities it serves. After paying $62 for a four-day visa, Emirates offers free shuttle service to the more than 60 hotels — ranging from two to five stars — participating in the stopover program. The airline also has special rates for the City Sightseeing Dubai hop-on, hop-off bus and can arrange for a round of golf (including free shoe and club rentals), a desert safari or a tour of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. You must pay for the hotel, but all of them include a free breakfast.
