If proximity is a high priority, opt for one of the many Dubai airport hotels located near both airfields. However, the true beauty of this destination is beyond the airport boundaries. Although the Dubai Metro provides public transportation options for city centre travel, those wishing to travel outside of the city will need to hire a car or hail a taxi.
