Getting Around
Most people will arrive by air at Dubai’s International airport. From here, an airport bus will take you along all the popular routes to hotels within the city center. Local buses also run services (#4, #11, #15, #33, #44) to Deira’s Gold souk bus station on Al-Khor Street. Taxis are reliable and available from outside the Arrivals terminal.
