Dubai has two airports: Dubai International (DXB), near Deira, and Al Maktoum International (DWC) in Dubai South. In town, agencies are along Sheikh Zayed Road, in Dubai Marina, Business Bay and Deira.
The main roads (Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road) pass under Salik toll gates, charged on every pass. Parking is paid in most districts.
Abu Dhabi is about 140 km on the E11, Sharjah borders Dubai to the north, and Hatta is about 130 km east.
