Tour Transfer covers every part of Dubai, from Jebel Ali and Expo City in the south-west to Deira, Mirdif and Dubai Silicon Oasis in the east, 24 hours a day. We also run full local service in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah (pickups inside those emirates and hourly hire) and transfers to Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah and Al Ain.

Our office is on Al Asayel St in Business Bay, and the chauffeur service in Dubai works the same everywhere: a vetted chauffeur and a car in the class you booked, at one fixed price that includes fuel, Salik, parking and VAT. Below, every area page is grouped by zone, with typical drive times from both airports.

Google Maps typical-traffic ranges for a Tuesday, checked in September 2026. Where two ranges are shown, the first is late morning (off-peak) and the second the slower of the 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. peaks; single ranges barely change through the day. See Dubai airport transfers for flight tracking, meet-and-greet and free waiting at each terminal.

Deira and the airport side

Deira and the districts around DXB have the shortest airport runs: City Centre Deira is 3–5 km from Terminal 3. Our chauffeur service in Deira page covers the Creek hotels, the Gold Souk, Al Rigga, Port Saeed, Al Garhoud and the Al Nahda and Al Qusais belt on the Sharjah border.

Beyond Deira, we pick up regularly across the airport side: Mirdif, Al Warqa, Al Rashidiya, International City, Dubai Festival City, Muhaisnah, Dubai Silicon Oasis and Academic City. The Sharjah border is the thing to plan around: the same 13 km from DXB to Al Majaz in Sharjah takes 14–28 minutes at 11 a.m. and can take well over an hour at 6 p.m.

Expo City, Dubai South and Jebel Ali

The south-west corner, closest to DWC. Expo City Dubai is 18 km from DWC and about 50 km from DXB, and it hosts large exhibitions and events on the former Expo 2020 site; see Expo City transport for event-day drop-offs. Dubai South and its business park surround DWC, and Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) is 29 km from DWC and about 47 km from DXB.

Most bookings here are business trips, and Abu Dhabi is closer from this corner than from central Dubai: 114 km from DWC against 152 km from DXB.

Yes. Every district from Jebel Ali and Expo City to Deira, Mirdif and Dubai Silicon Oasis, 24/7. The pages above are the areas we’re asked about most; if yours isn’t listed, send your pickup and drop-off on WhatsApp and we’ll quote it the same way.

On Al Asayel St in Business Bay, Dubai. Our chauffeurs work across the whole city and into Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, wherever the pickup is.

For Deira, Downtown, DIFC, Business Bay and Jumeirah, DXB is much closer. For Expo City, Dubai South and Jebel Ali, DWC is closer. From Dubai Marina the two are about the same distance, and from Palm Jumeirah DXB is slightly closer, so check the airport on your ticket before booking.

Trips into other emirates are priced for the route, and the quote you get on WhatsApp is the total, with Salik, fuel and VAT included. For market context, published Dubai rate cards in September 2026 list an extra-emirate surcharge of AED 125–200.
