Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) is Dar es Salaam’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and regional airlines, with some low-cost operators on popular routes. Located about 12–15 km northeast of the city centre, it can be reached by taxi or ride-hailing in roughly 25–45 minutes depending on traffic; fares are usually in the modest range compared with major global hubs. Public minibuses (dala-dalas) and airport shuttles offer cheaper but less predictable transfers. As the city’s primary hub, DAR is generally convenient for international connections and business travel, though services and terminal comfort can be variable during peak times. Mwalimu Nyerere Domestic Terminal (often integrated with DAR operations) handles domestic and regional flights for local carriers and smaller turboprops. It is typically the more budget-friendly option for internal flights and short hops across Tanzania, positioned close to the main airport complex so ground transfer times to the city remain similar—around 25–45 minutes by taxi or bus. Transport options include low-cost minibuses and local taxis; shuttle services can be available through some carriers. Pros: quick access for domestic connections and lower fares; cons: fewer passenger amenities and simpler terminal facilities compared with larger international terminals.

Dubai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is the region’s major international hub, typically handling most long-haul and premium carriers such as Emirates and many global airlines; it’s close to the city center (about 10–15 km) with metro, taxis and ride-hailing taking roughly 15–30 minutes depending on traffic and costing in a wide but moderate range. Al Maktoum International (DWC) is positioned as a growing budget and cargo-focused alternative, often used by low-cost and charter operators and located farther out (around 40–60 km), where shuttle buses, taxis and airport transfers can take 45–60+ minutes at generally lower fares for some carriers. Pros: DXB is very well connected and convenient for central Dubai; DWC can be less crowded and sometimes cheaper. Cons: DXB may be busy at peak times; DWC’s distance can add transfer time and cost.
