How to get to the city center from the airport?

The most comfortable and quickest option. When you pay for a transfer service, a driver will be waiting for you at the airport and will take you to the hotel in the shortest time possible, avoiding hidden costs, tricks, and language problems.
The price of the service is € 40.10 (US$ 43.10) per vehicle (€ 85 (US$ 91.50) round trip) and can be booked on this website.
Metro
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 bear in mind that some areas are not comfortable for walking. The price depends on the route.
Taxi

Four public bus routes make the journey between the airport and different points in Dubai: 401 (Deira) and 402 (Bur Dubai) every 30 minutes; and C1 (Satwa Station) and C2 (Zabeel Park) every 10 minutes.
