I am going to stay in Dubai for a few days on route to New Zealand. I arrive at 00.55 hours so assume I will be through customs etc in the very early hours of the morning. I intend booking a hotel to include the night I arrive but I’m wondering if the hotels generally let you check in at maybe 3 or 4 am? Any help on this would be appreciated.

This is one of the airports busiest times of the day with a lot of flights arriving at this time so the airport is in full swing and because of this hotels around Dubai are geared up for check-ins at any time of the day. Driving to your hotel at 2am you will soon realize this is a town that never sleeps!
