    Did you purchase your tickets on a single booking or separate tickets? Aug 10, 2016 at 9:54

    Terminals 1 and 3 are physically connected airside, you can just walk between them. You'll have to go through connections security before being let into the airside area. Checked bags may be a bigger issue, depending on if it's 1 or 2 tickets

You do not need to go through immigration, you can walk between T1 and T3. As for your luggage, it is a different story.

If your luggage is tagged to Dubai, then you will need to either collect it yourself (which requires a visa), or pay for the Marhaba Services and have them collect and re-check it for you on Emirates.
