How To Reach UAE From Mumbai

If the idea of traveling via airplane seems boring, you may choose to get on a road trip, which takes around 2 to 3 days. However, there are currently no trains to take you to the UAE from Mumbai, since neither India’s nor UAE’s rail network is sophisticated enough to connect to far off destinations outside the country.

Let’s take a detailed look at the below information to find the best way to travel from Mumbai to UAE through different medium of transportation.   

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 Mumbai, then The Mumbai International Airport offers regular flights to Dubai, Sharjah as well as Abu Dhabi, which lasted for nearly three to four hours, if one chooses a non-stop flight. It can take nearly 18 hours to reach if one chooses a connecting flight, which might have long stopovers at different locations.

By Road: If you have an International Driving Permit, and the adventure-junkie in you is seeking a long road trip, this can be quite a good option to get to UAE. However, this  might take you 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, you would also be required to get visas from other countries that would have to be crossed in order to get to the UAE from Mumbai. However, if traveling for 40 hours is not your cup of tea, it is not advisable to get on a road journey of about 2,002 Km, since it is an extremely costly and time-consuming.
