I heard that in UAE a person can get 96 Hours transit visa free of cost...

Can we go out of the airport. As it looks like we are going to have 9 hour stay in UAE before we get on the flight to toronto.

A quick Reply will be great.

Thanks,

HI
Even if you are not the citizen of the country mentioned above you can still get a 96 hours visa and you can get out of the airport , provided you have an onward jpurney tkt confirmed and it has a charge of some dollars which i am not sure, but you can confirm the same with any UAE embassy or mission in your boarding country.
I hope this will help
