International flights
Flights from Delhi to Dubai
Dubai draws people from Delhi for several reasons at once: work in the city's trading and finance districts, visits to the Indian community that lives and works there, beach holidays, and a break in a longer journey west. The city sits on the Gulf coast of the United Arab Emirates. Searches on this route leave from Indira Gandhi International Airport and land at Dubai Airport, which is on the city side of Dubai Creek; Dubai World Central, the other arrival, is much further out towards Jebel Ali and appears on some results.

About this route
Your departure is fixed to Indira Gandhi International Airport, so the choices before you search are the dates, how many people are travelling and whether you need a return. The airport is south-west of the city centre on the Palam side; if you are coming from Noida or east Delhi, give yourself more road time than you would from south Delhi or Gurugram. The arrival side needs more thought. Dubai Airport, DXB, is the search default and is close to the older parts of the city around Deira, Bur Dubai and the Creek, with Downtown and the beach districts further south along the coast. Dubai World Central, DWC, lies well to the south-west near Jebel Ali and the Marina end of the city; if you land there and your hotel is in Deira, the drive in crosses the whole of Dubai. Dubai is built around the car, and summers are very hot, so a transfer booked before you land spares you from standing outside in the heat with your bags. On AI Concierge you can add a hotel from the Dubai list and a car from either airport to the same trip as the flight, and check the entry rules for your passport before you travel.
