It sits about 13 km from the city centre, with travel times typically ranging from 30 to 60 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and app-based cabs are common and fares can vary, while buses and prepaid airport shuttles offer cheaper, slower options.

Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum (DWC). DXB is the city’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and premium carriers—Emirates and many full-service airlines—so fares can be mid-to-higher range but competitive for global connections. Located about 10–15 km from Dubai city centre, DXB is reachable by metro (around 20–30 minutes, low-to-moderate fares), taxis (15–25 minutes, moderate cost) and airport buses. It’s convenient for transfers and late-night services, though it can be busy and walking times between terminals may be long. DWC, farther out (roughly 45–60 km southwest), caters more to budget and charter operators with typically lower fares and fewer frequencies. Transfer options from DWC include shuttle buses, taxis (travel time often 45–60+ minutes depending on traffic, higher fare than metro), and limited regional bus services. DWC can be a cheaper choice for low-cost carriers but is less convenient for quick access to central Dubai and has fewer amenities and onward connections.
