Dubai is served primarily by two airports. Dubai International (DXB) is the city’s major international hub and a premium transfer point for long-haul and regional carriers such as Emirates and numerous full-service airlines; it’s typically pricier but offers extensive connectivity. DXB sits about 10–15 km from the city centre, reachable by Metro (roughly 15–25 minutes, fares usually modest) or taxi (15–30 minutes, fares vary by route and time). Pros: fast connections, many lounges and retail options; cons: large terminals and busy peaks can add walking and wait times. Al Maktoum International (DWC), located around 35–50 km southwest of downtown Dubai, is usually positioned as a growing secondary and budget-friendly airport handling some low-cost and cargo services plus overflow international flights. Travel to central Dubai can take 40–60 minutes by road depending on traffic; taxis and ride-shares are common (fares higher than DXB due to distance), and limited public buses may be available. Pros: less congestion and lower fees on some carriers; cons: longer ground transit times and fewer on-site amenities compared with DXB.

Fly nonstop from Dubai to historic Samarkand for the quickest, most convenient way to reach Uzbekistan’s Silk Road jewel—less time in transit means more time exploring its majestic madrasahs and vibrant bazaars. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a direct flight lets you travel comfortably and efficiently, so consider booking direct to make the most of your trip.

Samarkand International Airport (SKD) serves as the main gateway to Uzbekistan’s historic city and typically functions as an international hub with a mix of regional and a few long-haul carriers, including national and CIS airlines. Flights here can be competitively priced compared with larger Central Asian hubs, though budget options are somewhat limited. The airport lies about 6–8 km southeast of the city center; taxis and shared minibuses are the most common transfers, usually taking 15–25 minutes depending on traffic and costing roughly a few dollars equivalent, while private transfers and hotel shuttles are also available. Pros: compact layout and manageable queues for arrivals; cons: limited late‑night services and fewer low-cost carrier choices than bigger regional airports.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Dubai to Samarkand is $158 (January 2026), while the maximum is $393 (June 2026). On average, a ticket costs $221–$418.
