Approx 100 AED one side.
120AED one way normal taxi
Yeah...I think taxi has a standard 25 or maybe 20 aed start from airport. Good advice to budget 120...and he might try to take the longest route cause he knows you are a tourist. Maybe getting an Uber is better:) there is free internet at the airport:)
120 ED
If you want to challenge yourself and save some money at the same time, you follow below steps:
Take Taxi from Terminal 2 to Terminal 3 Metro station.
Take metro from Terminal 2 to either Damac Properties station or Jumeirah Lakes Towers station.
Take taxi from there to your place.
It will cost you around 50AED MAX and you will save 50AED for a lavish lunch next day or 2 meals at McDonalds.
If we convert each saving into a potential expense, we'll end up saving a decent amount.. Lol.. But agree with Saud... Although I've heard that Metro may be an issue if you are travelling with too much luggage... Must check on RTA website to check how much luggage is allowed and other DOs and DONTs
You can take take to fast metro then take metro to Dubai marina . Taxi direct will be around 100 to 130 AED
Don’t take Air port taxi , take normal taxi will find a lot on Air port
For the "Metro" part, keep in mind that the metro stops at night around 11:00 pm.... so it depends on your arrival time..
If you miss the last metro you'll end up paying even more
It will cost u around 32 dollar only
It would be around 80 dirhams. If you want the cheaper option, let us say you dont really have a lot of luggage, you can ride the metro (depending on the time of your arrival coz it closes on midnight) and it would only cost you 7.50 dirhams.
Airport Meter starts at $6.8 (25 AED)
For every km its $0.55 (2 AED)
So for Dubai Marina - which is roughly 36kms - it should cost you around $30 (110 AED) which includes 8 AED for the two toll gates you will pass.
Dubai Marina is a tricky place to get to first time using Metro and Tram so I would recommend to take a Taxi.
If you come to stay, so best choice is metro, there are metro station in airport and will create metro’card will be use for metro and marina’s tram , and cost only 7,5 aed but taxi at least 100aed in normal timing and uber may be 130aed, Good luck
A taxi will cost you 100 AED. you can get almost any bus from terminal 2 in the direction of a metro station. - head to green line. It will cost you around 40AED to get you to terminal three red line which is fairly pointless. Use the metro to Damac Properties or Jumeriah Lakes Towers which ever is closest to you.
Hi Marina,
I live in Marina and I can tell you that a one way taxi from the airport will be around 105-125 AED, depending where exactly in Marina.
As people mentioned, you can take a taxi to terminal 3 and from there take the metro (closes around 11ish on weekdays and 12ish on weekends. Metro is 7.5 AED from Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 to Marina (either Damac Metro Station or JLT Metro Station, depending where in Marina). The metro is super clean and easy to use so if you're coming at operating times and you have light to normal luggage, I suggest you take it.
Tip: when taking a cab, they sometime say take the limo it's the same price. That's not entirely accurate, because even though the regular taxi and the limo start at the same price, the limo charges much faster at a higher rate. So I suggest you take the normal taxi.
Hope this clarify things. Good luck and enjoy your stay.
Salah, if I will come to DVC airport and consider Tamani Marina Hotel & Apartments, should I take taxi too?
