00:16on how passengers can travel with safety measures.
00:25Strict security measures were taken at Dubai International Airport,
00:29especially on arrivals area. Here you can see stickers put on the ground to show the
00:36social distancing, which is really important. It's a key factor to curb COVID-19 at Dubai
00:41International Airport. Wearing masks and keeping social distancing while you're traveling,
00:47while you're arriving, you just like hold your passport and you're walking through
00:51to the immigration counters. We will take you there to show you more.
00:55So after arriving at Dubai International Airport, you need to come to the counters.
00:59You need to stamp your passport if you didn't use the smartskins. So here we're going to see
01:06what's going on. Here are the passport control counters. You can see that there is a barrier.
01:14That barrier is for safety measures. It's to ensure the safety of passengers and the
01:19immigration officers who are sitting on the front line, welcoming the passengers to Dubai
01:25to stamp their passports. Welcome back, Dubai.
01:49This is the result of the increase in the number of tourists.
01:53MashaAllah, Alhamdulillah.
01:55The number is increasing daily after COVID-19.
01:59The movement is back to normal.
02:03The number is increasing daily. Alhamdulillah.
02:07It's back to normal.
02:09Inshallah, in the next few days,
02:13we expect to have the same number of tourists as in 2019.
02:19Inshallah, before November.
02:23Today, we're talking about 20,000 passengers per day.
02:29In the beginning of the pandemic, we were talking about more than 500 passengers per day.
02:35Today, we're talking about 20,000 passengers per day.
02:39Many of them are tourists.
02:41Many of them are immigrants.
02:45We took all precautionary measures to deal with the pandemic.
02:51Alhamdulillah, today, the UAE is one of the leading countries in this regard.
02:57We have cameras at all gates.
03:01We have masks.
03:03We have masks.
03:05The procedures used to take four hours before the departure.
03:11Now, the situation is back to normal.
03:15Two, two and a half hours before the departure.
03:19Before, it had to take at least four hours.
03:21Now, the issue of the advanced facilities at the airport in all buildings,
03:27Terminal 1, excuse me, Terminal 3, Terminal 2.
03:31For example, there used to be one check-in counter.
03:35Now, there are 15 counters.
03:37So, the situation is much easier.
03:39We are at the departure area at Dubai International Airport.
03:43If you are a passenger and you forgot your mask,
03:45if you want protection kits,
03:47here is a vending machine that you can actually get a mask
03:51and a protection kit with sanitizer and stuff
03:55to make your travel even safer at Dubai International Airport.

04:10I'm used to coming to Dubai a couple of times per year.
04:13It's the first time that I come back since the COVID crisis and the lockdown.
04:17And it felt safe to me to come back at this time.
04:21I have a trust of safety measures to come to Dubai.
04:25I feel like things are really safe because we have to do a test before coming here.
04:30And if you just keep social distancing, it's okay.
04:34So, I just wanted to go back to normal after quarantine and COVID.
04:40And then also, I've been wanting to come here for a long time.
04:44And I was supposed to come in March,
04:46but because of the coronavirus, I couldn't.
04:49So, I just decided to come here for the summer holidays.
04:53Just for a holiday, to get a nice little getaway.
04:56I know I'm going to come here, the flight was perfect.
04:58Airport, obviously, running smoothly.
05:00So, before I come to Dubai, I just know it's going to be good here.
05:03I know what I'm expecting, so it's good.
05:05The massive efforts provided at Dubai International Airport for passengers
05:08will surely ease their concerns about the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic.
05:12Dubai Airport, always known as the busiest airport in the world.
05:15These days, we can surely say that Dubai Airport is the safest airport to travel.
