Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB) — a major global hub handling most long-haul and premium carriers such as Emirates and many international airlines — and by Al Maktoum/Al Maktoum International (DWC), which tends to host low-cost and some cargo operations. DXB sits about 10–15 km from Dubai’s central business districts; the metro and taxis typically take 15–25 minutes (metro fares roughly low to moderate, taxis vary by meter). DWC is farther south, around 35–45 km from downtown, with buses and taxis taking 40–60+ minutes and usually being cheaper for budget travelers. Pros: DXB offers extensive connections and facilities; DWC can be quieter and budget-friendly but may add transfer time and extra transit cost.

King Khalid International Airport (RUH) serves Riyadh as the city’s principal international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers, with Saudia and several international airlines offering most long-haul and connecting options. The airport is located roughly 25–35 km north of the city centre; road transfer by taxi or ride‑hail typically takes about 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, with fares usually higher than inner-city trips. Public bus services and airport shuttles can be cheaper but slower, often 60–90 minutes. Pros: modern terminals, broad international connectivity and decent on-site amenities. Cons: distance from downtown and variable peak-hour transfer times can make it less convenient for short stays.
