Flying over to Thailand in a couple of months with a long layover (10 hours) in Dubai. Is it worth leaving the airport? And how easy is it to get around the city?

Answer is yes, easy. In what part of the day is the layover? Happy to give a couple of suggestions based on that

like

Definitely leave the airport

If you're going to visit Burj Khalifa you should definitely reserve a time and buy tickets online before hand! Consider buying the VIP ticket (you get to visit the general floor and a private lounge) and skip the line for the elevators! Also would recommend day visit over night visit.
