Cheap Flights from Dubai to Shenzhen Starting at $173

Fly non-stop from Dubai to Shenzhen for the fastest, most convenient way to bridge the UAE and China's bustling tech hub — fewer hassles, no layovers, and more time to enjoy your trip. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a direct flight saves hours and offers a more comfortable, stress-free journey worth considering when time matters.

Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB), a major global hub focused on long-haul and transfer traffic and home to full-service carriers like Emirates and many international airlines; Al Maktoum International (DWC) handles growing low-cost and cargo operations and can be a budget-friendly alternative for some routes. DXB sits about 10–15 km from the city centre, reachable by Dubai Metro or taxi in roughly 15–30 minutes; metro fares are modest while taxis can be pricier. DWC is farther out, typically 40–60 km and 40–60 minutes by car depending on traffic, with fewer public transit choices and occasional shuttle services. Pros: DXB offers extensive amenities and frequent connections; DWC can be less crowded and cheaper on some carriers. Cons: DXB can be busy at peak times; DWC’s distance may mean longer transfers and more limited ground transport.

Shenzhen is served primarily by Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport (SZX), a modern international hub that handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines on regional and some long-haul routes. Located roughly 30–40 km northwest of the city center, it can be reached by metro in about 40–60 minutes or by taxi in 30–50 minutes depending on traffic; metro fares are typically very low while taxis add moderate cost. The airport’s spacious terminals usually offer frequent domestic connections and growing international services, making it a convenient entry point for business and leisure travelers. Pros: good public transport links and modern facilities; cons: travel times can lengthen in peak traffic and international route options may be more limited than larger Chinese hubs.
