If you’ve ever stood in line at the hotel front desk after a long flight, you know the frustration of waiting to check in. Dubai is about to change all that. Imagine your next hotel stay without the usual hassle. Soon, you’ll be able to check in without ever stepping up to a counter, thanks to a new contactless system that’s on the horizon.

Here’s how it will work:

  • Before your arrival, simply upload your ID and take a selfie through the hotel’s app
  • Complete your check-in online just once
  • When you arrive, facial recognition will allow you to bypass the front desk and head straight to your room

Your information will be securely stored, and you won’t need to re-upload it until your ID expires.

This is just one of the many ways Dubai is reimagining travel. For another peek into the future of seamless journeys, check out Smart Travel initiative at DXB. This AI-powered passport control system, already available for First and Business Class passengers at Terminal 3, lets travelers breeze through immigration with just a quick scan.

Stay tuned for more updates! Dubai is continuing to innovate and make travel routine almost effortless.
