How to Reach UAE from Delhi

By Air: The primary international airports of UAE include the Dubai International Airport and the Abu Dhabi International Airport. There are other international airports here as well such as Sharjah International Airport, but comparatively it is less well connected that the other two. If coming from Delhi, then The New Delhi International Airport offers regular flights to Dubai, Sharjah as well as Abu Dhabi, which last for nearly three to four hours, if one chooses a non-stop non-connecting flight. It can take nearly 18 hours to reach if one chooses a connecting flight, which might have long stopovers at different locations.

By Train: There are currently no trains that take you from Delhi to UAE, since neither India’s nor UAE’s rail network is sophisticated enough to connect to far off destinations outside of the country. If one is uncomfortable about traveling to UAE in a plane, then the best way is to try to get there by road. This might take a traveler way longer than taking a flight, nearly 2 days of driving and stopping, as well as hauling the vehicle on to numerous ferries to cross the sea. Needless to mention, one would also have to get visas from other countries that would have to be crossed in order to get to the UAE from Delhi.

By Road: There are no roads that would take a traveler directly to UAE, but if one is adamant enough, there are ways to reach the UAE without taking a flight. From Delhi, the traveler would have to take a series of National Highways of India, Pakistan and Saudi Arab to reach Abu Dhabi. Going by road is not at all advisable, since it is an extremely costly and tiring method and travelers would need separate visas and authorizations for every country that they cross.
