By Air
Dubai is an important hub for international travel. The emirate’s most popular airport and second-busiest in world, Dubai International Airport (DXB) hosts flights from a wide variety of destinations. The airport is the home base of award-winning Emirates Airlines which—along with 100 other airlines—serves more than 7,000 flights per week and 260 destinations across six continents. The growth of flights on popular low-cost carriers, such as the homegrown flydubai, has also exponentially increased. At Dubai World Trade Centre, 7 out of every 10 of our participants fly Emirates or flydubai, due to their incredible range of connectivity.
By Road
Dubai is connected to neighboring emirates via an excellent highway system. From Sharjah, the E11 highway (Sheikh Zayed Road), E311, E88 and E102 are all popular routes into Dubai. From Abu Dhabi, the E11, E311, E66 and E44 highways offer inbound options. For those driving to Dubai from another GCC country, the United Arab Emirates border can be accessed through Saudi Arabia or Oman, with appropriate and valid visa(s).

Rent a car
Business and leisure locations around Dubai are quite spread out, so renting a car affords visitors the most convenience in reaching destinations. The emirate offers both locally- and internationally-recognised car rental options for visitors, and paid parking is available at most destinations. Parking rates vary from 3 AED to 10 AED per hour, depending on which area of the city you are in. The emirate is also now equipped with pay-per-minute vehicles, which further open the transportation possibilities. Driving regulations may vary, but many visitors are eligible to drive with an International Driving Permit and a licence from their home country. Consult your embassy or consulate for details.
Use the metro
Dubai’s metro system is budget-friendly, clean and air-conditioned way to travel around the emirate. There are two lines: the Red Line runs the length of Dubai, connecting to many significant landmarks along the way, while the Green Line primarily serves ‘old’ Dubai, including the Creek area and the souks of Bur Dubai and Deira. Tram service, known as the Orange Line, provides dedicated access to points around Dubai Marina. Driverless trains run roughly every five minutes from 5 am to 11 pm and can be accessed with a Nol Card, which can be obtained from any station, including the one at Dubai World Trade Centre.
