What are the main Dubai airports, and how do I get from them to central Dubai?
Dubai has two major international airports. These are Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC). Both offer a number of transportation options to get into central Dubai.
Dubai International Airport (DXB) is located only 3 miles from the city centre, making it super quick and easy to get into the heart of Dubai. The airport has two metro stations and trains run frequently from Terminals 1 and 3. You can also go for the budget option of a local bus. Or if you're in a rush, there are taxis available too.
Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), otherwise referred to as Dubai World Central, is located a bit further from the city, about 23 miles southwest of Dubai. There are no direct transport options to the airport, although you can reach it using a combination of public bus and the metro.
