Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah transfer: the easiest way to get there
The best way to get from Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah depends on what you are carrying and who you are travelling with, but for almost everyone arriving with luggage, family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the answer. Haqqi Tours' Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah airport transfer is met at arrivals, priced in advance and driven by someone who does this route every week.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Burj Al Arab Jumeirah in Dubai is like, where to stay and eat, when to travel, where you meet your driver at Dubai Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
How far is Burj Al Arab Jumeirah from Dubai Airport?
The distance from Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah is about 35 km by road, and the transfer usually takes around 50 minutes. Traffic is the only variable - our drivers know the route and the times to avoid, and they choose the fastest way on the day. Because the Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah transfer price is fixed in advance, a slow drive never costs you more, which is the first difference from an airport taxi on the meter.
The fastest road route runs via the D68 and E11, and your driver adjusts it on the day for traffic and roadworks.
From the airport the route runs south-west on the E11 Sheikh Zayed Road past Downtown and turns seaward at Umm Suqeim to Jumeirah Beach Road.
For planning, count on 50 minutes plus the time to collect your luggage and clear passport control at Dubai Airport; up to 60 minutes of waiting (90 at some airports) is included.
Arriving at Dubai Airport (DXB)
Dubai International (DXB) has three terminals - Emirates uses Terminal 3 - about 15 km from Downtown, 10 minutes from Deira and about 35 km from the Marina.
Airports feel bigger after a long flight, and Dubai Airport is no exception. That is why your confirmation carries the exact meeting point for this airport, the driver's name and a phone number: when you walk out of arrivals you know where to look. The driver has been following your flight, so a late landing or a slow bag belt changes nothing about your Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah transfer.
Searches for "DXB to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah" or "DXB airport transfer" land here for a reason: DXB is the airport code for Dubai Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Burj Al Arab Jumeirah.
Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, door to door. Route: about 35 km, around 50 minutes depending on traffic. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers) and Minivan (1–7 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Dubai Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah?
The airport taxi fare from Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah: is there a bus, train or metro?
The Dubai Metro Red Line runs from DXB Terminals 1 and 3 through Downtown to the Marina and Expo, and it is genuinely useful for a light traveller; with family luggage, or for a villa or hotel off the line, a car door to door is faster and cooler.
If you are weighing the Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah options, think about the last kilometre. Trains and buses stop at stations; hotels are somewhere else. With a private transfer the driver takes the route that ends at your door in Dubai, helps with the bags, and the price agreed on WhatsApp does not change if the trains are on strike or the road is slow.

Guests and visitors with reservations reach it along a guarded bridge lined with palms.

Best time to travel to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah
November to March is the pleasant season; summer is very hot and humid, which is when a cool car at the door matters most. Sheikh Zayed Road is slowest on weekday evenings.
None of this changes the price of your Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah transfer - it is fixed for the vehicle whatever the season, the hour or the traffic - but it does change the timing, and that is what your driver plans for. Tell us the flight number and we allow for the real conditions on the day.
Meeting your driver at Dubai Airport
Your confirmation message on WhatsApp includes the meeting arrangement for Dubai Airport - it varies by airport, between an indoor meeting point, a specific exit and a driver with a sign at the arrivals door - along with your driver's name and number. With flight tracking, your driver is there the minute you land, and the waiting time is included in the fixed price.
Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Dubai Airport.
Our vehicles for the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers) and Minivan (1–7 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.
All vehicles are insured and driven by professional, licensed drivers who know the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah road. Child seats are provided on request, and there is no extra charge for reasonable luggage.
The vehicle is chosen before the confirmation, not at the kerb, so there is no surprise at the door of Dubai Airport: what we agreed on WhatsApp is what is waiting, and if your luggage looks like it needs a bigger vehicle we say so before you pay.
Who books the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah transfer
The Burj Al Arab Jumeirah transfer suits anyone who values a plan: honeymooners heading for a hotel in Dubai with more luggage than they admit, parents travelling with small children, friends sharing a Sprinter, colleagues on a work trip who need an invoice, and grandparents who would rather be met than find their own way. Because the price is per vehicle, the more of you there are the better it compares with taxis and tickets.
Many guests add a second leg later in the trip: a day out from Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, an onward transfer or the return to Dubai Airport. It is all handled in the chat you already have open.

Good to know before you land at Dubai Airport
DXB and DWC are 60 km apart - check your ticket - and tell us which terminal you land at, since Terminal 1, 2 and 3 have different exits.
Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Dubai Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.
Let us know the driver language you would prefer; it depends on the country, the city and the hour, so we cannot promise it, but we do our best to match it and the WhatsApp desk itself always works in Arabic and English.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Burj Al Arab Jumeirah transfers
Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Burj Al Arab Jumeirah transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late. The price is fixed and written down, the driver is a licensed professional who does this road regularly, the vehicle is what we said it would be, and if anything on the day is not as promised, one message to the desk puts it right.
Pickup options and waiting time
When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:
- Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
- Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.
At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.
With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.
Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where do I meet my driver at Dubai Airport?
It depends on the airport: some have a fixed meeting point inside arrivals, some a specific exit, and at others the driver waits just beyond customs with a sign carrying your name.

Which road does the Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah transfer take?
Usually the fastest route via the D68 and E11, about 35 km and around 50 minutes in normal traffic. The driver checks traffic and roadworks on the day and takes whichever way is quickest; the price stays the same.
Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah?
Per person, yes for most groups: the transfer is priced for the vehicle, so a couple pays about what a taxi would and a family pays less, with no meter, no night tariff and no surprise at the door.

With luggage, a family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the easiest and most comfortable way: door to door, no queue, no changes.

The Dubai Metro Red Line runs from DXB Terminals 1 and 3 through Downtown to the Marina and Expo, and it is genuinely useful for a light traveller; with family luggage, or for a villa or hotel off the line, a car door to door is faster and cooler. For most visitors the private transfer is simpler: it starts at the arrivals door and ends at the hotel, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
What happens if my flight to Dubai Airport is delayed?
It depends on the option you chose. With flight tracking, the driver is there when you actually land, for delays of up to 5 hours; beyond that, tell us straight away and we try to find a new time, without a guarantee.

Is the transfer private, or shared with other passengers?
Private. The vehicle is yours alone from Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, with no other passengers and no extra stops unless you ask for one. That is what makes the fixed price possible.
Can you provide child seats?
Yes - say the ages of the children when you book and the driver brings the right child seats or boosters at no extra charge. Please mention it in the WhatsApp conversation so the correct vehicle is sent.
Are tolls, parking and waiting time included in the price?
