Riyadh is served primarily by King Khalid International Airport (RUH), a major international hub that handles most long-haul and regional flights and typically hosts flag carriers like Saudia alongside several full-service and low-cost airlines. The airport sits about 35–40 km north of the city center; road transfer by taxi or ride-hailing usually takes 30–50 minutes depending on traffic and can be moderately priced, while airport shuttles and private transfers are also common. Pros include spacious terminals and a wide range of services; cons can be the distance from downtown and occasional peak-hour congestion. For domestic-only or lower-cost options check schedules, as some regional flights may use alternative terminals or carriers.

Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB) and Al Maktoum International (DWC). DXB is the city’s major international hub—home to full-service carriers, large international alliances and a big share of long-haul traffic—while DWC can be more oriented toward low-cost and cargo operations, with growing scheduled passenger services. DXB sits about 10–20 km from downtown (roughly 15–30 minutes by road depending on traffic) and is well connected by metro, taxis and airport shuttles; fares typically range from modest metro ticket prices to taxi rides that can be notably more expensive. DWC is farther out (around 50–60 km, often 45–60 minutes by car) and usually requires a taxi or booked transfer; public connections can be more limited and travel time greater. Pros: DXB offers extensive amenities and frequent connections; DWC can be quieter with lower fares on some carriers. Cons: DXB can be busy and congested at peak times; DWC’s distance adds transfer time and may mean fewer transport choices.
