Transfer from airport to Dubai

Impressionnant par son trafic et son architecture, l'aéroport international de Dubaï se trouve à 5 kilomètres du centre. Une proximité qui permet de rejoindre rapidement les grands hôtels, en taxi, via Sheikh Zayed Road.

Aux heures de pointe, pour éviter les embouteillages et faire des économies, vous pouvez aussi prendre le métro dont la Red Line, aérienne, offre de belles vues sur les gratte-ciels de la ville.

• Subway: it's the most practical way to get into Dubai if you don't have too much luggage. There are subway stations in Terminals 1 and 3 of the airport. If you take the Red Line, you can go directly to Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa Tower without changing trains. Note that the Dubai underground is well connected.
• Taxi: you can use it to easily reach the main sites (Deira, old Dubai, Burj Khalifa, Madinat Jumeirah, The Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina).
