Getting Around

The guide was updated:
Upon arriving at Dubai International Airport, you're connected to every major neighbourhood in the city via the Dubai Metro. Most of the city's main attractions, including The Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa and Dubai Marina can be reached directly via the metro or tram. Simply purchase a prepaid Nol card from any metro station, to use on the metro, tram and buses. The city's ubiquitous yellow and red topped taxis are available streetside. For those with data services, a cab from Uber, or the local ride-hailing equivalent Careem, is just a tap away.

Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC)

Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC)

Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), also known as Dubai World Central, is located 37 kilometres (23 miles) southwest of Dubai city in the Jebel Ali district. As the centrepiece of the large-scale Dubai South development, this airport is poised for significant expansion. It will become the world's largest aviation hub, with future plans to handle up to 260 million passengers annually and replace Dubai International Airport (DXB) entirely by 2035. The most practical way to reach the airport is by road via Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311). For public transport, take the Dubai Metro Red Line to Ibn Battuta station and transfer to the F55 bus service, which completes the journey to the terminals.
