The drive from DWC to the Marina

The chauffeur leaves Dubai South towards Sheikh Zayed Road, either directly along Expo Road or by Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and one of the cross roads near Jebel Ali, and comes into the Marina from its southern end. At quiet times you are at your tower in around twenty-five minutes; in the evening rush, with traffic building around Jebel Ali and the Marina exits, it can take forty-five.

The Sheikh Zayed Road route may pass the Jebel Ali Salik gate, charged at cost on your receipt.

Into the Marina from the south

Arriving from DWC, the chauffeur enters the Marina from the Jebel Ali end, close to the towers around Marina Walk's southern stretch and the tram line. For a hotel or tower on the far, northern side, near Dubai Marina Mall or the Palm junction, the canal loop adds a few minutes. Choose your building in the address search so the car goes straight to its lobby.

A quieter airport for a Marina stay

For Marina residents, DWC is often a convenient airport when your airline flies there: shorter walks at the terminal and a shorter drive home than from DXB. On the way back, check-in times are set by your airline; the drive itself rarely needs more than an hour, even at busy times.

DWC to Dubai Marina: your questions

How long does the transfer take from DWC to Dubai Marina?
About 25 kilometres, usually 25 to 45 minutes depending on traffic and the time you land.
Is DWC closer to the Marina than DXB?
By road the two airports are about the same distance from the Marina, around 30 kilometres each. The difference is the route: from DWC it runs along the city's edge and avoids central Dubai's traffic.
Can I be dropped at Dubai Marina Mall?
Yes. Choose the mall, or the entrance you want, in the address search.
We are a group with surfboards and golf bags. What should we book?
Enter every bag when you book and mention bulky items in the notes. A class is only offered if one of its cars fits your party; drivoo Van suits larger loads.
Can I book the return from the Marina to DWC at the same time?
Yes. Add a return trip when you book; it becomes a second ride linked to the first, with its own pickup time and your departure flight number.
What if my flight lands at DWC late at night?
The pickup follows your flight's arrival, and the roads to the Marina are empty at night, so the drive is often around twenty-five minutes.
Where will my driver meet me at Al Maktoum International Airport?
Without Meet & Greet: the parking the airport designates for pre-booked cars, marked across the airport; it can move, so follow the markings. With Meet & Greet: inside the arrivals hall, with a name board.
