Dubai → Burj Al Arab (Umm Suqeim): key facts

Private transfer, Dubai Airport (DXB) to Burj Al Arab (Umm Suqeim): the car (1–3 passengers) is €40 and the van (4–8) is €60, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 35 km on the road via E11 and D68; about 45 min off-peak, 45–55 min in rush hour.

Pickup: The driver waits in the public arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 1, 2 or 3), after passport control, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

The Burj Al Arab stands on its own island off Umm Suqeim, about 35 km south-west of the airport. The route crosses Dubai Creek and follows Al Khail Road or Sheikh Zayed Road south-west, then turns towards the coast on one of the long streets crossing Umm Suqeim to Jumeirah Beach Road. Salik electronic toll gates stand on the main highways. The coastal Jumeirah Beach Road is slower, with traffic lights and residential areas along its length.

Umm Suqeim is a low-rise district of villas along the coast between Jumeirah and Al Sufouh. The Burj Al Arab, shaped like a sail, stands on an artificial island linked to the shore by a private bridge, and the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, the Wild Wadi waterpark and the canals of Madinat Jumeirah with its Souk lie next to it. Public beaches such as Umm Suqeim Beach and Kite Beach stretch to the north-east. Access to the island bridge is controlled at a gate on Jumeirah Beach Road, so cars stop at the hotel entrance.

Public transport instead: Dubai Metro (RTA) Red Line from Airport Terminal 1 or Airport Terminal 3 station (connected to the terminals) to Mall of the Emirates station (Al Barsha), Monday to Thursday and Saturday 05:00-midnight, Friday 05:00-01:00, Sunday 08:00-midnight (Dubai Airports), 1 change. No direct public transport from the airport to the Burj Al Arab: the Red Line runs to Mall of the Emirates station in Al Barsha, about 3 km inland on the other side of Sheikh Zayed Road, and the onward trip to the beach needs an RTA bus connection.
