Dubai International Airport (DXB)

The emirate’s main airport, in Garhoud between Deira and Dubai Creek, and one of the busiest airports in the world for international passengers. Three terminals, with Terminal 3 handling Emirates. It sits inside the city rather than outside it, which is why the drive from most of old Dubai is short.

What it means for property

Proximity to DXB is a rental argument before it is a resale one. Cabin crew, aviation staff and frequent flyers concentrate in the communities within a short drive of it, which supports year-round occupancy in Garhoud, Mirdif, Deira and along the Green Line. The trade is noise: under an approach path the premium reverses, and it is worth checking the flight path for a specific building rather than the community.
