Airports

The nearest airports to Expo 2020 Dubai are Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), which is about 24 kilometres from the Expo site and Dubai International Airport (DXB), which is about 54 kilometres from the Expo site. People of determination (those with special needs) receive complimentary parking for two hours at all terminals at Dubai International Airport. The parking ticket needs to be validated at the terminal. There is free parking at Al Maktoum International Airport for all passengers. There are prioritised drop-off areas for passengers requiring assistance at both the airports.

Metro

The Dubai Metro Red Line takes you from the city of Dubai to the entrance of Expo 2020. Metro stations have tactile paving to facilitate access for blind or low-vision passengers. All stations have wheelchair access either via step-free routes or lifts.

Plan your trip by metro with the S’hail app, available on App Store, Google Play and AppGallery.

Expo Rider and RTA buses

Get to and from the Expo 2020 site via a dedicated public bus service: Expo Rider. It’s free of charge for Expo 2020 visitors and you can board it from different locations in Dubai and other emirates.

Just remember where it drops you off as you will have to take the return trip from the same gate. Alternatively, you could choose to take one of RTA’s standard buses for a fee.
