My Daughter and I will have 24 hours in Dubai in July 2013 and would like to take a short tour, can you tell me if we need any special visa to leave the airport?

Hi Myla,
Your niece will be given a standard entry visit upon arrival at Dubai Airport which lasts for 30 days.
Should your niece be staying for longer than this then you will need to apply for a tourist visa.
