Across the creek from DXB
From the airport the chauffeur crosses Dubai Creek on Al Garhoud Bridge or Al Maktoum Bridge, then threads into Bur Dubai through Oud Metha, Karama or Al Mankhool. The distance is short and the drive is fifteen to twenty minutes at quiet times, but the creek crossings are among the busiest roads in the city at rush hour.
Both bridges have Salik gates; the crossing is passed through at cost on your receipt.
Old streets and new waterfronts
Around Al Fahidi and the Bur Dubai souk the lanes are narrow and partly pedestrian, so cars stop at the nearest open road. Al Seef, the waterfront development along the creek, has its own drop-off points and hotels, including Al Seef Heritage Hotel Dubai. Further in, Al Mankhool and Al Raffa are dense with apartment buildings and mid-size hotels on similar-looking streets, where choosing the exact building in the address search matters.
From Bur Dubai to your flight
The return crosses the creek again, so the time depends on the bridges. Early morning and late evening are easy; mid-morning and the evening rush are not. Add your flight number so the booking can warn you if the pickup leaves too little time.
Karama, Zabeel and the Dubai Frame
Bur Dubai runs into Al Karama and Oud Metha, and Zabeel Park with the Dubai Frame is a few minutes away. Al Fahidi Fort, home of the Dubai Museum, has been closed for redevelopment, so check before planning a visit. Many families and long-stay visitors base themselves in this part of the city for its apartments and its short drive to the airport.
