Dubai International Airport

Dubai Airport consists of three terminals connected by a free bus.

How to get to the city center from the airport?

Transfer service

The most comfortable and quickest option. When you pay for a transfer service, a driver will wait for you at the airport and take you to the hotel in the shortest time possible, avoiding hidden costs, tricks, and language problems.

The metro is the cheapest way to get from the airport to different parts of Dubai. It is useful if your hotel is close to a metro stop. Otherwise, you have to remember that some areas are uncomfortable for walking. The price depends on the route.
