GOOD TO KNOW

Your arrival questions, answered.

Why does the guide not show one fixed Dubai fare?+

The cost depends on the route, zones, ticket type or taxi journey. Check the applicable product or complete quote for your address.

Does every terminal have the same metro access?+

The airport identifies Red Line stations at Terminals 1 and 3. Check the access instructions for your own terminal.

Can I use an airport taxi starting charge as the full price?+

No. A starting charge is only one part of a metered journey. Confirm how the complete fare is calculated.
