How to Go to Dubai

Dubai is the largest and most popular city in United Arab Emirates (UAE). UAE is a cluster of seven countries. The city is located on the South East coast of Persian Gulf. It is the capital of Emirate of Dubai. Dubai has emerged as a global city and a major business hub of Middle East.<reamore>

Dubai is famous for Burj Khalifa and also for luxury shopping, ultramodern architecture with huge skyscrapers standing high and its lively nightlife. Besides Burj Khalifa is the largest mall in Dubai. Then on artificial island stands Atlantis with its tremendous resorts. Desert Safari, Palm Jumeirah are other major attractions of this city. Dubai is well known for its oil reserves and dates one gets here. Popular language is Arabic.

The city is a major travel destination. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is the world's busiest airport. It remains the primary point of entry for travelers in Dubai. Here's a detailed look at different modes of transport for those wondering how to reach Dubai from India, the best way to Dubai, or even exploring options such as Dubai by road.

How to Reach Dubai

By Air (Most Convenient Way)

The easiest and most practical way to Dubai from India and most international destinations is by air. Direct flights operate from major Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Chennai to Dubai. The average flight duration from Delhi to Dubai is around 3.5 to 4 hours.

Dubai International Airport is well connected to the city centre by metro, taxis, and buses, making onward travel simple and efficient. For most travellers researching how to go to Dubai, flying is the quickest and most comfortable option.

Dubai by Road

For those curious about travelling Dubai by road, it is important to note that there is no direct road route from India to Dubai due to the Arabian Sea separating the two countries. However, Dubai is well connected by road to neighbouring Gulf countries such as Oman and Saudi Arabia.

Travellers already present in the Gulf region can consider Dubai by road via well-maintained highways and border crossings, subject to visa regulations and vehicle permits. Proper documentation and prior planning are essential when considering this option.

By Sea

Cruise travel is another attractive way to Dubai. Several international cruise liners include Dubai as a major port of call. This option is popular among tourists looking for a luxury travel experience.

By Air

The best way to get into Dubai is via air. Dubai has the metropolis airport of the emirates. Flights land here from all countries. Some popular airports in Dubai are Al Maktoum International Airport that is 32km southwest Dubai in Jebel Ali. Second Airport is Dubai International Airport which is located in Dubai itself. Third airport is Sharjah International Airport which is located in Sharjah. Another airport is Abu Dhabi International Airport.

It is located in Emirates of Abu Dhabi. All the above are international airports.

How to reach Dubai from India?

International Flights like Emirates, Fly Dubai, SpiceJet, Air India, Jet Airways, and Indigo, Kuwait take you to Dubai.

One can also take Air Arabia from Sharjah Airport to Dubai which is a domestic flight. Fly Dubai is also one of the domestic flights. Travelers wondering how to reach Dubai from Delhi can book direct fligths to Dubai Airport.

By Train

Within UAE, Emirates express runs between Emirate countries and will take you to Dubai.

Travellers can also take metro which connects Jebel Ali to Rashidiya.

By Road

There are many ways via which one can travel within Dubai. Metro, bus, taxi or a hired cab are all the options available.

Bus transport is relatively cheaper in Dubai. There are 114 bus routes in Dubai. The bus is available from Airport as well. Bus includes 8 express services, 48 local busses, 31 feeders, 13 central busses, 3 busses to global village and 11 intercity busses.

Dubai’s Metro network is not that complicated. There are 2 lines only. Red and green. Red lines runs from Jebel Ali to Rashidiya. The green line connects with the red lines at 2 stations i.e. Union and Bur Juman. The red line passes through Burj Khalifa, Dubai International Airport, Deira and many other stations.

Taxi is a bit expensive but most convenient option to travel within. Dubai has NOI card concept. Travellers have to just touch their card and go on. The amount will be deducted from the card from where they exit. The card reading machines are at the entry and exit of every metro station and RTA Bus stand.

Muralidharan Sriram

Chennai

Muralidharan's 6 days trip to Dubai

Justwalkin Tours delivered exceptional service, perfectly grasping our needs and offering ideal options. They arranged hotel bookings at highly competitive rates. The rooms were a bit compact but fully met our requirements, with an unbeatable location—steps from metro and bus stops, plus plenty of n

earby shops and eateries. Even after late-night sightseeing, we got back effortlessly via public transport with little fatigue. I highly recommend this agency. Kudos!

Mohanreddy

Hyderabad

Mohanreddy's 5 days trip to Dubai

Our recent trip to Abu Dhabi and Dubai was exceptionally well organized by PCM Worldwide Flights. The entire journey was smooth, professionally managed, and truly memorable. A special mention to Mr. Raj Kumar Prajapati (Raj), who supported us from the initial package discussion and itinerary plannin

g through to the completion of the trip. His patience, prompt responses, and readiness to accommodate last‑minute requests made a significant difference and deserve sincere appreciation. We would also like to thank the tour operators — Mohsin Bukhari, Jagpreet Singh, and Abhi — for their excellent coordination, as well as the tour guides — Tanzil, Amir Sohail, Shakeel, and Awais — for their knowledge, courtesy, and valuable insights throughout the tour. The drivers were equally commendable for their professionalism and flexibility. Overall, PCM Worldwide Flights delivered a highly reliable and customer‑focused travel experience. I would strongly recommend their services to anyone planning a trip to the UAE.

Dhanraj's 6 days trip to Dubai

Overall, the tour was well managed. However, we did encounter some issues with the local driver. He was very rude and was rashly driving. All the guests were afraid. The city tour fellow. The rest was as requested and booked. Thank you

Neshma's 4 days trip to Dubai

I’d like to appreciate Sayoni, Pankaj and their team for coordinating everything so well and making sure we had a comfortable stay in Dubai.

Dmonica

Hyderabad

Dmonica's 6 days trip to Dubai

The trip planning was initially coordinated well by Shilpa and Akansha. They were responsive, answered all our queries patiently, and were supportive during the planning phase. However, the actual issues started from the very first day of the trip. The cab service was consistently unreliable. The c

abs were never on time and were almost always 15–20 minutes late. We were usually given a pickup slot (for example, 9:15–9:30), but the cab never arrived within the mentioned window. I understand that these slots are planned keeping traffic conditions in mind, so occasional delays are acceptable—but this happened almost every single time. Out of the 6 days, 3 days were particularly stressful due to these delays. While some drivers were extremely polite, gentle, and stuck to what they promised, others were very disappointing. They would say they would arrive in 15 minutes but would not show up even after 45 minutes, often without proper communication. We opted for a cab service expecting convenience and peace of mind. Instead, it became a constant source of stress. We had traveled from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to Dubai in our own car and chose to use local cabs in Dubai hoping for a relaxed and enjoyable holiday. Unfortunately, by the end of the trip, we felt that driving ourselves would have been far less stressful and would have made the experience better. Another drawback was related to the hotel accommodation. We were informed that king-size beds would be provided, but the rooms had small double beds instead, which was disappointing. Overall, we are very unhappy with the services provided. My previous trip to Maldives was amazing with Travel Triangle, so I opted it again, now, it was terrible!
